Last night I did NOT feel like cooking dinner.
It was a long week, we had to go to Sam's club after a full day of work, I had only slept for about 4 hours the night before...there were soooo many reasons why I could have just ordered food instead of cooking.
But as I huffed and started to pull out some ingredients, I told myself "you'll be thankful you did this tomorrow".
And honestly, I didn't even have to wait until tomorrow.
As dinner was almost done I thought "well that actually wasn't that bad after all".
While I was eating dinner I had no guilt about what I was eating. The food was making me feel good, satisfied, and nourished.
Waking up this morning and looking in the mirror was such a good feeling.
I was SO thankful I ate a healthy dinner last night instead of something else. I wasn't bloated or in a food-induced hangover (sluggish, puffy, stiff, etc). I didn't have to think about what to wear I just put on what I wanted and it looked good.
Is it annoying to put in the extra effort sometimes?
Heck yes.
But is it worth it?
10000000%
The choice is yours...
Short term satisfaction or long term happiness.
Hell, even short term satisfaction after you just do the dang thing.
Your future self will thank you!
