    You could be focusing on “it’s amazing how easy it is for me to make food!” But you’re not. Your emotions are leading you somewhere, instead of your rational mind. Next time you recognize that you feel like that, pause, and pay attention to what exactly it is that you are feeling, without judgement. Use your rational mind to observe your emotional state. Just observe it, don’t control it or try to change it. Hopefully you’ll discover something, maybe even the answer you’re looking for.

      Nourishment is nourishment. I would love to have a home-cooked three course meal every night, but that’s a lot of effort and money to spend on lil’ old me. Ready meals are fine for those nights where I can’t be bothered to actually prepare a decent meal.
