asking for advice because I’m really not sure what to do and I’ve got myself into a bad cycle.
i have a really busy life and I’m able to balance it all but have to make some compromises- usually food. I’m finish work and walk my dog, see my horse and to go riding, and by the time I’ve done all that and get home and shower it’s too late to eat a proper dinner. I don’t really have time to eat a proper dinner after work. Sometimes I eat a sandwich for something small for dinner on the way to the stables, but quite often I dont and I’m getting energy from things like juice and sweets. My teeth are whitened so I keep telling myself they look fine but I know if I keep doing this I’ll have no teeth left. Not to mention it’s not healthy. I think I’m doing it because the calories are low in sweets but you get good energy from it. The other day I didn’t eat breakfast (I hate eating too early and really can’t stomach it) and for lunch I had a sandwich, an apple and some crisps. For dinner I had a packet of cola bottles which obviously isn’t healthy!
im so fussy about making sure my dog eats good quality food and absolutely will not give her anything crappy or rubbish. Same with my horse- I will NEVER compromise on their feeding and make sure they are fed the absolute best for them. But with mine, I feel like I don’t care about it.
I don’t know if it’s the calories, or the convenience but it’s a bad cycle and I don’t know how to get out of it.
sometimes I eat proper dinners but I prefer to just skip it, or eat snacks which are occasionally healthy (a carrot or a couple of dry crackers) but usually I go for sugary sweets or juice to get me by
has anyone been in this cycle before?
thanks x
