I am super guilty of getting caught up in consumerism. I think the dieting I have been doing is making me question the wisdom of that consumerism. I was eating more and got bigger, so I ate even more and got even bigger, like economies grow. At some point that would have personally ended up in a bad way as a body can only grow so big before major destruction occurs. Eating at a deficit is like a recession for my body. Once I get where I want to be, I need to keep my body's Growth Domestic Product right at maintenance. Financially, I am planning on scaling back in the consumerism area. I will keep my banger car for as long as possible and cut back on other spending. I have already scaled way back on eating out but I can tighten up the grocery spending a bit more. I am going to try and eat more plant based products too where it's economical and fits in with my diet goals. Driving less is also a goal for me.
