Shame my eating habits

[Bathtime17]

My diet is atrocious and has been since I was a teenager, when my poor single mum used to just let us eat what we wanted. I’m 38 now. I often just eat chocolate for breakfast and lunch and then eat dinner with my family in the evenings. More chocolate in front of the telly at night.

Yesterday for example I had two mars bars for breakfast, 2 packets of crisps and a dairy milk for lunch, risotto for dinner and one family sized bar of Dairy Milk in the evening.

Just typing that out makes me cringe.

I am educated about food and can make really healthy choices when I put my mind to it. I just seem to be so lazy and just want junk all the time. I’m slightly overweight but not obese though I should be.

I’m careful to make my kids healthy meals with lots of fruit and veg but just can’t seem to control my own eating habits.

I think I just need the reality check of people telling me the way I eat is disgusting.

@Graphista- wonderful post! I think I need it spelled out for me like that. When you put it the way you did then it seems so easy to make sure I am eating nutritious meals.

I must say I'm touched by the replies. I was expecting to be torn apart by how awful I eat but everyone has been matter of fact and helpful.
I started this because I read a previous thread on what people had ate that day and I was so ashamed to compare others' extremely healthy and nutritious meals to mine.
I know that I'm getting older and with the menopause ahead it will be harder to maintain my weight and overall health.

But most importantly I have to remember that I need to be healthy for my children, who deserve to have a mum who is healthy and vital.

Thanks again everyone. X

@LittleMissBrainy I do have a Nutribullet at home so might start making some healthy smoothies. Great to hear of your progress, you must feel so much better.
