Planning what to eat next now is making me anxious
I’ve been noticing this problem since the beginning of 2024, I decided to just stop planning what to eat next and just eat when i feel like it but at the same time i wanted to go back to planning what i want to eat next again because I remember back then if there was a food or snack i really wanted to eat I would decide to plan to have it soon once i was no longer full and doing this used to not bother me at all. But sadly doing that now makes me anxious like that time I decided to plan to eat some tacos for dinner but then i got overwhelmed because i told myself what if i end up eating cookies and loose interest in the tacos i planned to have. And a other thing that makes me anxious was i did not want to be thinking about what i want to plan to eat next all the time which is why i stopped planning what i want to eat next because it’s really overwhelming me a lot i tried fixing it but sadly nothing wasn’t really working sucks because i want to plan what i want to eat next peacefully again like before and eat a snack i really want but sadly nothing has fixed it or helped me. So for now i will have to stop planning what i really want to eat next and just eat when i feel interested in eating and eat what sounds good to me because it’s the best for me in order to stop that overwhelming feeling and snap out of it .
hope someone understands me with this problem anyone going through something like this too?
It can feel so overwhelming when the act of deciding what to eat, or even thinking about eating, starts to cause anxiety instead of joy. It’s like your relationship with food becomes more about managing stress than simply enjoying what you eat. A possible solution that you can try is focusing on eating when you feel interested and choosing what sounds good in the moment seems like a smart choice to avoid that overwhelming feeling.
