Hard as it may be........taking care of yourself is in fact a lifestyle change........and eating at regular times, and when your body signals you to eat really is necessary. We have all had to make adjustments in our lives to make this program work. Nothing is more important than good health. I am not at all being unsympathetic.......I am just trying to say that even though you are doing your best to be OP..........you may have to make bigger changes in your life. I realize that you have to travel for work.........and I cannot imagine how difficult that would be..........but maybe you will have to get your dinner from the grocery store instead of a restaurant. I am quite certain that washing lettuce in a hotel room would be a bit inconvenient........but there is just NOTHING convenient about taking good care of yourself. I think, as women, we put ourselves last soo often. And our self-sacrifice can come in many forms. It is most often talked about in relation to motherhood.......but women, as a whole, whether they are mothers or not, are very good at self sacrifice. Sometimes I think it is unfair that women who do not have children do not take notice of their own self sacrifices because society just doesn't address the issue for women in general, but more toward mothers. This couldn't be further from reality. It can be huge things........like taking a job that is unsatisfying, to small, seemingly insignificant things......like styling your hair the way you DH/SO wants you to.
One positive change seems to beget another.........so, if it is at all possible for you to make one tiny little change about how you prioritize your eating habits.......then do that one little thing. It will get easier and easier. Get to know every grocery store or fresh food market you can in your regular travels.....and go there........daily if you need to. If you have to dine with clients and you are required to eat in a restaurant......then eat some whole foods (fresh fruits and veggies) before your dinner meetings if possible..........and eat very very lite at the restaurant. This is not going to be easy by any means.........but you know.......you are so worth it. Your heart will thank you
If I took your post out of context.......please don't be offended. I really do hope you keep trying............you will find a way, I have no doubt.
