Uh-oh, backsliding
I'm not actually going over my calorie allowance, but my eating habits are backsliding a bit. It's been difficult the last few days because of the snow, my daughter's nursery being closed and trying to do my university course and all around all her needs. She eats almost entirely fish and I am badly allergic to fish. We do like her to have the fish because it's good nutrition, but it involves eating separately from two different cookers and different cooking pans and everything.
I've found that the departure from my usual structure and routine has had me back to forgetting to eat, not planning the meals properly, not being able to think what on earth I might plan (got my meal planner out a hundred times but everything sounds like too much hassle to buy and cook when I don't really want it) and then when I finally get too hungry I'm opening the cupboards wondering what on earth to eat and although I'm making up the right number of calories it's in random foods - a cereal bar, a bowl of soup, one pot of cottage cheese, a piece of cheese served in the hand and a boiled egg for a day's food, not good.
It's a step too close back to my old eating habits, but I find it really hard to break out of the nothing sounds good -> don't buy anything -> don't have anything -> have to cobble together emergency meal - > over-hungry -> binge. I'm so tired of chicken, and what on earth goes on the side of a meal that isn't a big calorie-laden wedge of carb?
Gotta get it back under control.
