I had a couple of bleep days and ate just junk - Would not have minded if I ate proper food. My reasoning for this is that I have gt to the bad habit of not eating proper meals - eating sandwiches, salads and snacks.
Of course, I am going to be eating salads but with meals rather than on their own (and calling them meals).

Yes I have been having a few hiccups as been very busy and sometimes no time to make a proper meal and sit down to eat. Hoping it is all going to settle down.
I try hard to keep up to my exercise even though I am not eating properly as I should be. At weekend, I am going to good proper meals.

Life throws us curveballs at times. It is hard at time to spin all the plates at once. Occasionally something has to give. Hopefully life will settle down a bit for you shortly and you can get back to eating as you want not as you have to due to circumstances.

Yes totally agreed. Weekend seems to be calmer so taking advantage and cook some meals ready for the week.
I didn't go off plan but ate easy things which left me hungry all the time.

I feel hungry if I don't plan my meals with enough protein. I am on a couple of medications that can make me want to eat everything and and anything that isn't literally nailed down. But through trial and error found protein keeps the munchies away. I hope this weekend you get some meals ready to use almost as ready meals. I try to do that to cut down days spent slaving in in the kitchen. I make double portions. It then leaves me time to do other jobs or hospital appointments etc.
