I think why I ate out multiple times this week is because of how busy my week was. I had and still do have a lot of papers, projects, and exams to take care of over the next two weeks and it's been rather stressful. I tend to opt for simple processed foods in these times of major stress, which is a habit that I need to work on breaking. I was proud of myself though in that I bought salad and yogurt for my meals instead of french fries. I know it's still fast food but I felt better about choosing the best options I had available at the time.I felt mostly stress this week as I haven't had much time to feel anything else. Hopefully I will be feeling relief soon, once I get my classwork out of the way.
I learned this week that when the going gets rough I have a tendency to revert to my less than healthy former eating habits. This is something that I am now aware of and can plan to prepare for in the future.
My plan will remain the same for next week, with a few tweaks. I will prepare healthy meals in head of time at the beginning of the week so that they'll just as convenient as fast food alternatives. This should effectively counteract my desire for eating something simple and fatty.
