there’s so much value in thinking “what can help me think less about food” rather than assuming “focusing on your nutrition” has to mean thinking about it all the time.
my 5 things: a running grocery list on my phone, “emergency snacks” stocked, same daily breakfast, go-to takeout orders in a note on my phone, and my very handy one-pan dinner recipe sticky note on my fridge.
after so many years of thoughts of food and my body consuming all my brain space, my goal for the last several years has been to just…not think about food so much... and these help.
maybe lowering the mental burden looks totally different for you (that’s okay! that’s good! tell me yours!)
