I’m driving myself nuts eating like a little piggy every weekend even though I eat really healthy during the week. I even like my healthy food so it isn’t like I’m depriving myself. But I meal prep for M-F and don’t have it in me to cook on weekends so I eat tons of junk. So, does anyone else do this? Did anyone else get over this? Do you have some other food woes you want to get off your chest? Or some other random thing you would like to discuss?

    No, I actually like cooking but I have a problem with having enough energy. I also wake up by 5 am every day and I’m just tired after work. I meal prep so I have something good available and don’t have to think and act when I’m tired. I also have an issue with overeating more and eating more junk food when I’m tired so it helps with that.

    I guess I also don’t want to have to plan and deal with making 5 to 7 separate meals every week, planning all that, buying that many groceries. I only cook for myself so that seems really like an excessive amount of shopping and cooking and things to buy when I can do it once and be done.

    Edit: you know what I absolutely loathe though is cleaning and doing dishes and that’s high on the list of reasons not to cook every day. The cooking is nice but nothing that goes along with it is.
