Eating poorly

I've been planning to ask this question for a while but for some reason I avoid doing so. My problem is that when I'm out during the day or on my way home I'll often pick up something unhealthy to eat on the way home. Historically it's always been big bars of chocolate but in the last few months I've really got into cheesecake. I don't know if this is an 'Autistic thing' or if it's just me. Does anyone have any thoughts/similar experiences/suggestions?

Thanks

  • Have you noticed how those big bars of chocolate aren't as big as they once were?  Even though the packaging seems to be roughly the same size and telling you its a family pack, or whatever?   

    I know its besides the point, but I had to mention it.  We are being duped.  And don't get me started on crisp prices.  

    I don't know if you're suggesting that it might be an Autistic trait to binge on junk / unhealthy food ?  I think everyone does it, ND or NT.   I know many who live a healthy lifestyle and still crave the junk.  It seems to have no mental health or mental condition boundaries.
