You do it because it feels like you’re ticking a box
You save the recipe and your brain says to itself “perfect, you have really good intentions, here’s a little dopamine hit for your troubles”
It feels good, you have a little rush, and then it joins the list with all of the other recipes you’ve saved
The problem is, you’re looking for something shiny and exciting
You’ve convinced yourself that the lifestyle you have to live in order to get in the shape you want is a bit vanilla
So therefore you need to find the next AMAZING LOW CALORIE MEXICAN WRAP
But that isn’t what you need and you know that deep down too
There’s a reason I’m able to eat well 98% of the time, and that same reason is also why you very rarely see me post pictures of my meals on my story
The foods I eat tick all of the main boxes
It tastes good (even though it might look like s**t)
It’s easy and convenient
It aligns with my goals of how I want to look and feel
None of this means that you have to eat boring, plain, unsatisfying meals
It means that it ticks all the required areas of a diet that when done for a long period of time, will bring me closer to my goals
You’re not the problem
You’ve just been exposed to the kind of content that gets views & likes instead of the stuff that actually works in the real world
If you’re someone who wants to make these kinds of meals then don’t let me stop you
But if you’re also someone who can’t stick to their diet for more than 4 days, then I might be onto something
