I made myself a salad.

I’ve been seeing a lot of good sharing on the sub today and figured I’d hop in and do some of my own.

I’m 26F CW:180ish trying to change my lifestyle in general, but specifically hoping to lose some weight by my wedding in June.

The last few weeks have been incredibly stressful, my nutrition has been piss poor and ive been neglecting all responsibilities in the name of just surviving the bullshit.

I dubbed today my “get my shit together day”, did a nice long hike with my mom in the morning and then did every chore I’ve been neglecting. It’s been a crazy long day cleaning my entire apartment, getting groceries for my fiancé and myself for the next week, running errands. Come usual dinner time, I was starving and craving McDonald’s.

I kept thinking well I did so much.... I deserve to not cook... I was “good” with everything else today....

So when my fiancé texted that he’d be home late and to just eat dinner on my own, I immediately flipped open my food delivery app, excited to order several thousand calories worth of garbage and be able to eat it alone.

But I decided you know what? That wasn’t going to serve me. I don’t want to live that way anymore, I don’t wanna be slowed down at work tomorrow by a sluggish binge hangover, I don’t wanna feel bloated and crampy all night while I try to sleep. I’m done doing this to my body.

So I closed out of the app, and I cut up some fresh veggies and made a lovely, simple little salad. Now I’m perfectly full, I get to sleep tonight and I get to smile knowing that I took a step towards breaking the unhealthy cycles I’ve locked myself into over the last few years.

Cheers.
