I am just highly overwhelmed with changing my diet. I have been eating like trash for so long that I don’t know how to go about changing it. One of the problems is I hate to cook so I rely on processed foods that I can cook easily and quickly. Like today we had sloppy joes and instant mashed potatoes. Not the healthiest of dinners. I think I just have to buckle down and cook more. Find fresher meals. I can still make the processed stuff for RS but I don’t have to eat it.
I’m less worried about diabetes because my pdoc said one of the symptoms is losing weight even though you’re eating more and that’s not happening. I am actually gaining weight, of course. I’ve been craving sugar like nobody’s business. Today I had a 450 calorie chocolate chip cookie  AND chocolate pudding!
I don’t know. I’m tempted to try weight watchers again because that really teaches you how to make better choices with food. But it costs money that I don’t have. And requires cooking. I have to stop being such a baby about cooking, really, is what it is. I |
A lot of time I’ll throw lots of chicken breasts in the crock pot , season with garlic S&P in the morning and by dinner it’s so moist it falls apart .. I just have a small baked potato and steam a bag of veggies! Dinner served
Cooking extra leaves me a lot of already cooked chicken to use in the following days. Pasta, shredded chicken, garlic crushed, bit of olive oil, basil , lemon and lime juice. 15 min meal.
Crock pots are such a help , toss everything in, go to work .. come home dinner is basically ready. It makes meats extremely tender.
It’s a struggle to find ways to eat healthy when your working.
You can do it
