Food Routine

Food Wars

I keep food honest, simple, and without shame.  First, I understand that eating disorder recovery is an extremely personal and delicate process.  If this triggers anything at all for any reader, please be warned that I'm talking about how I chose to pattern my eating routine. 
​

Meal 1: cheese eggs, chicken breakfast sausage, oatmeal or English muffin 
Meal 2: snack
Meal 3: Meal prepped lunch
Meal 4: snack
Meal 5: Cook dinner or grab a meal prepped dinner; salad, fruit
Meal 6: Greek Yogurt, fruit

I used Budget Bytes to plan meals, and I keep my pantry basics stocked.  Running through the ingredients of a recipe, I plug it into my phone's "Shopping List" reminders and hit the store once a week.

Accept some things that happen with any well-intended routine.

1. Routines are built on habits.
2. As with anything, I don't assess based on "good" or "bad."
3. I don't use the d- word.  It's a lifestyle, and that's it.
4. I morph into a shark at the sight of chips.
5. I have skipped meals because I'm a human being, and I try to grab something ASAP.
