Well when I think about my body when I get old , it’ll be easier for me to live , when I hadn’t eat junk food in my youth
I don’t keep a lot of unhealthy food in the house so it’s either eat what I have or go hungry. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a lot of responsibilities from the first moment I wake up at 6am (getting kids ready for school, etc) and so I tend to eat breakfast after 8am when I can take my time.
Meal prepping the night before or a few days before! For example, freezing bags of fruit that are ready to be put into the blender for a smoothie, making mini quiches/egg bites that just need to be popped into the microwave in the morning, etc! Or just waking up 15 minutes earlier if I’m going to cook. At that point I say to myself “Well, I’m already up, I might as well use these extra minutes to do something good for myself”
It’s hard to have motivation when eating something less healthy is the easiest thing. I try to have food that does not take long to prepare but is healthy as well, such as: yoghurt and fruit, eggs, and cooked meat to add to sandwiches with lettuce. It also helps to make healthy meals in larger amounts so that you can eat some for a lunch the next day. My favourite is doing this with soups. When you have easy options that are also good for you, you don’t need so much motivation.
