Maybe I'm More Than Broken
I stopped at a place called My Fit Foods after several co-workers raved about their food. They do freshly prepared, packaged meals. Kind of like frozen entrees with out the frozen part. They are a bit expensive, but I was curious. And I know I need to eat better.
What I had forgotten was the near panic I have to fight when I buy a packaged meal. I have this fear that it won't be enough food. That I'll still be hungry when I'm done or that I'll need more protein or something. Then I start thinking that if I do, there is something wrong with me because normal people don't need more. Even worse is how I will sometimes overeat out of that fear. Something I've never shared with anyone. Ever.
Why am I sharing now? Damned if I know, but I felt like I should. So there it is.
BTW, the My Fit Foods meal was very tasty, but probably too pricey for me to buy on a regular basis. Which is sad because it was VERY healthy. I have health insurance that helps pay for the meds that I need to be healthy, but what do you do when eating healthy is so much more expensive than the alternative that you can't afford it?
But I guess maybe that's a topic for another post.

I feel confident that it's possible to eat healthily AND cheaply. But I don't know how, except that it probably involves a lot of work. Which is its own kind of expensive.
Loved this post because I SO relate!! I tend to over buy/overeat for the same reasons, so you are not alone. :-)
I also understand the eating healthy/expense part. I experience the same thing, especially when the rest of the family doesn't eat it. Sometimes is feels like we are buying 2 separate bills of groceries, or some food spoils because I can't eat it fast enough on my own; such as kale. ;-)
I have learned some new healthy recipes that I'm eating where the ingredients aren't very expensive. They'll probably become more of a staple. ;-)
It'll take some time, but we'll both become healthier. I have to keep reminding myself "I didn't get this unhealthy overnight, and I won't magically become healthy overnight." Babysteps...
I wish we had something like My Fit Foods around here. I'm too lazy to cook for myself anymore.
