I think I have fat girl PTSD. We went to a donut shop for breakfast yesterday and when I realized they had literally zero healthy options (not even sugar free syrups for coffee!) I became completely overwhelmed. I couldn't choose anything and I felt very anxious about having to make a choice because we didn't have time to stop anywhere else. I ate 3 tiny bites of the donut, drank about half the coffee, and threw the rest away because I had such fear about the amount of sugar I was consuming.
I have worked hard to make healthy changes that are sustainable so I don't gain back after I've reached my goal. I need to work on recognizing that sometimes a healthy option won't be available and it's ok to indulge now and then.
The feeling is very similar to my poor girl PTSD. We went through a number of years where we were very hand to mouth... food stamps, food banks, paying bills with money we got from our church to keep us afloat... it was a terrifying time. Now we can afford all of our needs and most of our wants but it still gives me great anxiety to make large purchases. I once had a meltdown in ikea when we were buying furniture because I was afraid to spend the money I'd saved specifically for that purpose in case we had something else come up.
For those who have reached goal, how do you deal with these situations? I have been so disciplined. How can I let it go and live a "normal" life when a "normal" life got me to 260 pounds?

NSVs that are slightly annoying...
I had to take off my engagement and wedding rings. Wearing a silicone band for now and will eventually have them sized.
My glasses are slipping down my nose because I guess it's gotten narrower. So bizarre... had no idea my nose was fat, too.
I need to buy smaller scrubs again. I just bought some in November and they're getting big. They're not cheap and I feel certain I'll need a smaller size later on so I hate to spend the money.
I'm freezing all the time. I just can't get warm. I'm gonna love it when we go to Florida in May, though!
Slacking on my water and tracking but I'm still losing. Decided to stay at 7.5mg and I'm glad I did! Apparently the 10mg is hard to get. I would be upset if I couldn't get it.
