It’s like every time I try to be healthy and take a step forward, I end up taking 2 steps back. I know that I must try to balance out my diet and stay disciplined but it has been difficult. I’m never really able to cook because I don’t have the time and when I do cook, the food is usually gone that same day. I’ve tried, I really have but my schedule has been hectic and it hasn’t stopped. Not to mention the temptation I have around me.

My job keeps snacks around. I’m not usually the type to have a big appetite when I first wake up in the mornings so I don’t tend to eat breakfast. When I start the day, I just have a cup of coffee and go on, but as the day goes on and I get hungry those snacks start to call my name. I’ll reach for the chips of some fruit snacks and eat. I work in a sales environment so it can be stressful. I guess I’m eating my stress away.

I have to stop eating the junk food. I think my job keeps the unhealthy snacks around because they know it can be a stressful environment. They know that the food will make us feel better, so they give us the snacks as a stress reliever. Unfortunately for me and my goal, the snacks are more harmful than good. I have to find other healthy alternatives to snack on while I’m at work. Diet is just as important and exercise.
