A week of indulgence

Jul 25, 2010

I had a week of indulgence. I REALLY SCREWED UP! I didn't stop myself and made Gowd awful choices. I've spent time and money to get back on track only to allow myself to make poor choices and not stop myself. For what? I can't even tell you as I really don't know myself.

My problem? I think a lot of my problem is I don't know how to put meals together. I went shopping w/my boyfriend at EarthFare and found that I didn't know how to put healthy meals together for me to eat. I found a lot of healthy foods to eat but didn't have the slighest idea how to make meals out of them. My boyfriend pointed that out to me. Every time I found something that looked good or I knew I liked my comment was..."that would be good to snack on" or "I could take that in my lunch for...(my protein or veggie or snack)" That's when I realized I can't put meals together...Never have been able to do so.  What an eye opener!  I can make shakes, I can make pudding, I can make sandwiches but I can't seem to think of things to put w/them to make meals out of them.  I like convience. Time saving. Crockpot cooking, snacking. Is this a reflection of how I was brought up? Maybe. I do remember when growing up and going to visit family my mom would come home and take us to McDonalds or Wendys or any other fast food resturant for dinner. We would have food in the house but it was up to us to make is as my mom was a single mother working from 6a.m to 7pm and had little time to make meals. When she did my sister and I would turn our noses. So I grew up not really knowing how to put meals together not from my mom's lack of trying to teach us but from my lack of will and energy...I was and still am lazy. REALIZIATION HERE!

Time to change. How? That's the question. Search for recipes that are quick and easy first and then expand. I am REALLY going to NEED HELP!
