Had this issue for years now, meds nuke hunger and I’m terrible at eating breakfast by the time I get back from work they’ve worn off and I have zero motivation. Fallen into the diet of nearly always having ramen, energy drinks and a beer here and then with a muti vitami.

Tried planners, can never get them to work my job having constantly changing shift patterns probs contributes to that, even tried one of those meal recipe box thingies stopped due to it A: being expensive and B: still didn’t really work.

I’m not even a bad cook either just cannot force my brain to bloody do it.

    Keep your work cloths on when you get home until you’ve made a meal.

    I’ve found if I quit the “work mode” and get cozy my odds decrease exponentially. If I don’t have someone to cook for (which is easier than cooking for self).

    Trick your brain.

    Get some ready to eat meals from Costco. Most the time youre just heating in a pot for good food that can be jazzed up as needed for minimal effort.

    Heb has meal simples that are incredible one portion oven meals for like $10

      This is probably the one thing that would work for me, but I’d have to get out of the habit of immediately taking my pants off when I get home lol

      This is the trick, as soon as you shower after work, shit ain’t getting done.

      You gotta keep the work clothes on until all your shit is done.
