I like comparing food and clothing consumption. Here is one example. Cookies and baked goods in general were something I really enjoyed and often ate too much of. Until just a couple of years ago I started to notice how certain cookies wouldn't be as fulfilling as others. I cannot explain why it happened all of a sudden but it led me to not wanting to eat the less fulfilling ones anymore. So cookies are narrowed down to my current favorite:
Walker's Short Bread Cookies. And since I don't want to spoil the fun, I refrain from eating them too often.
The same thing happened with other food categories and it also became my strategy for choosing clothes: only going for favorites. When under stress I become less discriminative and lean towards consuming less favorite foods. Trying or buying clothes under stress is not a great experience and inevitably often leads to wrong purchases.
I am very, very grateful to be in this privileged position of making more and more refined choices.
