This self-change goal I chose is proving to be a little difficult simply because I don’t think I realized how reliant I became on fast food meals. This semester is concluding and I could choose to change my goal to something that coincides with my schedule, but I know that in the long run, this will prove beneficial to my overall diet for the future so intend to stay motivated. In the past, I have attempted this change before by attempting to cut back on fast food to save money, but sadly failed due to a lack of effort. This could indicate how I would do on this project, but I know because I have set this as a self-change goal for a class project that it will encourage me to do well. Since this past weakened was Easter holiday, I ate with my family, but during the week days when I had school I unfortunately was only able to cut back one day more from the previous blog of 7-6 days a week. I think with the stress of being late to work after getting out of class I rush to go eat. I made a new step in my goal of making the sandwich before I leave for school and storing it in the refrigerator. Thank you all for your support and see you in class!
Roxanne, I understand how tough this can be for you, but it is a challenge for a benefit as well as part of your self-change. Maybe you won't adapt to it soon enough, but I'm sure you will eventually find a way on avoiding fast food. I wouldn't expect you to fully live without fast food in a few weeks to the end of the semester. As long as you put in some effort as a start of preparing for your self-change. Work and school life keeps us busy and I can understand your hectic schedule. A sandwich sounds like a simple idea, but you need to start looking up more varieties of quick and easy foods to make. You'll eventually get tired of sandwiches and would opt for fast food! My suggestion for you right now is to cut back your weekends or days you don't have school to eat at home or prepare food at home. Maybe that way, it will help you on expanding your self change of avoiding to eat out. Best of luck, Roxanne! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how Easter holiday was split into good and bad. It was good for you because you didn't eat out and better achieved your goal, but it was bad for me because I overate and made my goal harder to reach! Although you did not make a drastic change from last week to this week, You still improved and that is important. If you keep improving every week, you will eventually reach your goal. I think that is a great idea to prepare a sandwich or other snacks to take with you and eat throughout the day! If you do that, you can easily cut out a few fast food meals for next week. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteStick with the goal - you are learning something about goalsetting that will be useful to you in the future! Don't give up!
ReplyDeleteRoxanne, you're doing such a great job. Going to school while working makes it extremely difficult to eat healthy and the steps you're taking to reach your goal are fantastic. I know how difficult it is considering how I barely have time to eat, let alone eat healthy home cooked meals. However reading your blogs lets me know I'm not alone. Keep up the good work! Good luck!
