I recently moved, and I’ve been noticing things about the new grocery stores that I’m visiting that I had just gotten used to at my old place. At one, right when you walk in, you are funneled in right past all the cakes and donuts and other baked goods. The isles are all one-way, so if I want to grab some spices at the end of one isle, I have to walk past what feels like miles of chips and cookies, and expend all this energy on self-control just to buy ordinary staple groceries. Most “healthy” food like lentils or kale or whatever aren’t instantly delicious the way a donut is right off the shelf, so while I’m forcing myself to walk past 100 different kinds of pop tart, I know that the food I have in my basket still requires me to go home and cook it before I can enjoy it.
I don’t garden, so I decide to buy literally 100% of the calories I eat. It’s painful because progress is slow, so while I’m giving up taking home something delicious, I know I won’t come home to the body that I want, either. I won’t even be coming home to dinner because I still have to cook it.
That being said, making it all the way through the grocery store without buying any junk food feels fucking awesome, and is something I’ve earned the right to be proud of because I have failed so many times.
I didn’t mean to be so negative, but I wanted to vent some frustration. Lifestyles are hard and slow to change.
