Life decision that actually worked for me: allowing myself to eat out or order food when I’m hungry and pressed for time.
I don’t think the stress of frantically trying to get dinner together is worth the costs in time or health. And after listening to this podcast episode, I’m suspect that, I’m not sure how to say this: “being overweight is bad, but like, it’s not that bad, and stressing about it is also bad since stress is bad, all of this in such a way where stressing out over being marginally more overweight is worse for your health than being a little more overweight”.
Something I do want to actually do though is to have a bunch of meals that I meal prep, freeze, and can warm up easily in the microwave. I want these meals to be healthy and at least somewhat affordable. And when these meals are actually available, I don’t really endorse myself eating out or ordering food.
At that point I want to save the eating out for places that are really, really good. Not just kinda good. Good enough to wow you. Definitely better than I can make at home. Eating out is pretty expensive and unhealthy. But on the other hand, I do really, really enjoy it and have lots of great places to eat here in Portland.
