Keep a food journal
I'll be honest, since I moved about
a year ago, I have become
complacent with my diet. When I
first moved in, meal prepping was
my best friend and I was determined
to stay healthy and make better
choices. As the months went on, the
frozen fruit in the fridge was
replaced with pizza rolls and the
home-cooked meals were replaced with
take-out from the pizza shop in my
apartment complex (the convenience
was too much to pass up!).
Recently, I haven't been feeling
my best, and I know that my food
choices are a big part of it. My first
change was to journal everything I
was eating and drinking as a way
to hold myself accountable. Once it
was on paper, I couldn't ignore it
anymore; I was not giving my body what it needed.
At the end of every day, I write down what I ate throughout the day and how it made me feel. My diet isn't
perfect, and I still have a lot to learn about my body and taking care of it the right way, but this is a good start.
