Diet

I've always known that I have some self-destructive habits. Maybe self-destructive is a poor description because I'm not referring to anything that is ruining my life per se, but more so things that prevent me from doing my best. One of the biggest things that I struggle with is my diet. Overall, my diet isn't that bad. I'm pretty good at portion control, I try to eat healthy carbs and fats, and I'm trying to add more fruits and vegetables into my diet. The description I just gave sums up how I eat about 80% of the time. But the other 20% can be out of control. I crave junk food ALL THE TIME. Yesterday was my day off so I decided that it would be a good idea to eat a whole pizza from Little Caesars along with a full order of crazy bread and a large coke slurpee. I think I might still be full. 

I am capable of eating clean for long periods of time. I did the Body for Life program a few years back and I had great results. The problem is that I don't think that kind of eating is sustainable. You have to view food as fuel and nothing but fuel and you can't enjoy it at all. I don't care what anyone says, healthy food doesn't taste good and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

I think another challenge I have is that even though I am an excellent cook, I find it hard to get motivated to cook for one all the time. I'm not sure if I don't feel like I'm worth it or if it's just that by the time I get home from work, go to the gym, practice kung fu, and do all the other things around the house that need doing, the last thing I want to do is cook for myself. I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problem, and if so, how are you dealing with it?
