How I’m Getting My Eating Habits In Check This New Year
Here I am — once again — sitting on my couch with a cup of tea, thinking about my New Year’s resolutions for 2024. The one thing that always makes it on my list is to improve my eating habits. And I never succeed. So annoying…
Why can’t I cook homemade dinners like everyone else I see online? And stop binging on snacks? I’ve tried all the influencer recipes but cooking every day is way too difficult and time-consuming. I always go back to my old habits — frozen dinners and snacks that require no prep.
I’m frustrated with myself for feeling out of control with food and my overall health. This time I want to make a lifestyle change that is easy to stick with.
The good news? I found the best New Year’s resolutions, finally allowing me to put a checkmark on my list.
1. Stop comparing myself to people online
I learned it the hard way after failing year after year. I promised myself I’d stop copying my favourite influencers’ latest health plans and comparing my life to theirs. Of course, it’s easy for people to prepare nutritious meals when it’s their job. Maybe they secretly looove cabbage? I needed to find a solution that worked for me; the busy, exhausted mom, with a demanding job who barely has time to go to the supermarket.
2. Sign up for HelloFresh
Firstly, HelloFresh is sooo affordable. They offer amazing deals all year round — up to €85 off your first 4 boxes and meals starting at only €2.50* per serving! Can you believe I’m saving money by getting pre-portioned ingredients and recipes shipped to my door? Goodbye, overpriced supermarket bills and basically no food waste — yaaay!
On top of that, HelloFresh gives me precious time back in my day. No meal prepping, no food shopping. All I have to do is pull out the recipe card that comes with the order and cook — just a bit of the basics, nothing too fancy.
Okay, so let’s talk about the real deal: the HelloFresh meal. They offer so many delicious recipes, I’ve never even thought of. Like Creamy Cashew Chicken with Fragrant Pilau Rice — ready in only 25 minutes?! Or Chipotle Black Bean Burrito Bowl with Avocado and Pico De Gallo. My kids went crazy for all the meals I’ve tried so far. HelloFresh is totally picky-eater-approved.
My favourite are their Calorie Smart dishes with under 650 calories. Their options include dishes like Harissa Spiced Chicken Steaks — yummm! This makes sticking to a nutritious diet effortless. No green juices needed!
3. Workout without pressure
I’m done with expensive coaches, stressful workout apps, and I canceled my gym membership. From now on I’m going with the flow. Now that I have balanced eating habits thanks to HelloFresh, I have more time and energy for some leisurely exercise. I incorporate more walks into my daily routine and wake up 20 minutes earlier every day to exercise at home. Let me tell you, it works wonders — and gets me ready for the busy day ahead.
Final Thoughts
With so many offers and “wannabe” New Year’s resolutions popping up everywhere, I can confidently say that mine is bulletproof; not expensive and not a scam. HelloFresh is the answer to your eating dilemma! Trust me, and try it for yourself.
