Help with my diet!!

Posting for traffic.

With 2 small children my diet has gone to complete shambles.

I literally eat chocolate and crisps all day long. I'm slim and 8stone so the weight isn't the issue. I feel so rubbish and in a rut!! I buy fruit and cut it etc and all healthy foods for kids but I actually can't think for the past week or 2 if I've eat any protein or fruit or veg. I just grab from the cupboard and run. They are small enough to jot notice what I'm eating so I'm not worried about that. I really need some motivation to eat better my skin and hair is crap I'm so bloated and I have literally zero energy I just don't know where to start as I have always had a poor appetite and always snacking.

How can I implement healthier choices

Keep a supply of various salad items that you like. Also frozen peas and sweet corn. Then make omelettes or jacket potatoes/sweet potatoes and various fillings like tuna or cottage cheese.

Agree with pp. Start small. A smoothie for breakfast might be good. Almond milk, banana, frozen blueberries, honey blended in a nutribullet is really nice and it has vitamins, fibre plus a little bit of protein from the milk.

Could you make one small change, starting with breakfast? I find eating something healthier at the start of the day sets me off on the right foot.

Perhaps a smoothie?

Thanks for replying. I'm very fussy and always have been. I don't eat meat and I don't actually like most healthy foods.

I know this is up to me to motivate myself but I actually just can't find the energy 😕

I have eaten 3 x kinder beunos today an ice cream, a jambon, milkshake, crisps, cheese on toast. Not one thing nutrional. I sound so lazy but I think I'm stuck in a rut with myself.

Don’t buy chocolate and crisped, if you haven’t got them in you can snack on them.

meal plan and think about what you want to eat over the week.

what sort of food do you like and perhaps people can share quick recipe ideas for you?

Why don't you cook enough for all 3 of you to eat together?
