I had an ah-ha moment today after many years of trying to lose the remaining baby weight I’ve gained after having children. I am a lazy eater. I want to grab and go. I like to microwave or order in. I don’t want to make a salad or chop, peel, or measure. It feels like a burden to me.
However, this week, I started to look at the preparation as a form of self care. It’s all about the packaging right? Sell a story! Well, I’m selling myself that it is a great thing to have the time to dedicate to this form of self care. It isn’t a burden. It is a gift.
I spend so much time disappointed in my frame, crippled by regret. I can literally do something about it … and it’s cutting up a fresh mango and eating it instead of grabbing a bag of individual - sized chips.
I’m a caregiver. I’m a wife. I’m a business owner. I do so much for SO many people. My GOD why is it so hard for me to make something healthy and simple for lunch? It was a mental block and I just released it.
I don’t know if this will help anyone? But try to look at the journey as a blessing. You are treating yourself kindly. We deserve that.
