I’m about 30 lbs overweight, and as for myself, I’m aware of probably why I don’t eat right yet never feel motivated to fix things. Perhaps it’s the ADD and how ADD’ers often like things “now” instead of later. That means no, I don’t take the time to cook right. I’d rather grab something fast that I can eat right away and be done with than take the time to fuss over a “healthy” yet tasty meal. I don’t follow directions well anyway…so the few times I tried to do meals right, I lost patience and wanted my reward “now” not later. Some how I have trouble remembering that an Apricot is about as fast a “grab and go” item like a cookie. I don’t have anyone around me to remind me or support me in a healthier diet, and I’m left to discipline myself to eat better. I’ve been told to keep a food journal…that’ll help me lose weight. Again…ADD. I try but then I forget, or I say I’ll log my meals later, or I misplace the notebook, etc. But I’m trying.
