For various reasons -- health, environment, but mostly preference -- I am moving more and more to a mostly vegan diet. The difficulty I'm having this morning is that it just takes more effort on the cooking/prepping front. Sure, there are vegan convenience foods available, but I'm more opposed to processed foods in my diet than I am to animal foods. It doesn't help I'm struggling with depression again. This morning I'm just tired and feel low and don't want to go fix the big container of a rice and whole grain salad for lunch. I wanna order a sub and have it delivered even though it's expensive and not as healthy. It's not like I'm forcing myself to eat the salad -- I actually like it better. No, it's more like I'm forcing myself to make the effort to fix it. That's one of the things about changing up your diet -- convenience can go out the window, depending on your goals. If I don't fix food, I wander into a sea of SAD out in the world. I imagine it's the same for keto, paleo, you name it. I don't plan on being 100% strict about it. I believe in choices, not "cheats". Still, even adhering to it as much as I want takes effort I don't always feel like I have in me

Can anyone else relate?
