This is absolutely real! You buy a lot of fresh fruits and veggies, then you feel too lazy to cook and it stays in the refrigerator till they go bad. You went to the grocery planning to make food for the rest of the week. The first thrill of organising nutritious meals soon disappears when life gets hectic and cooking seems like a difficult chore. Though tomorrow drags into next week, you persuade yourself that tomorrow will be the day you at last make that great salad or stir-fry. By the time you got around to really cooking a week later, all of it has gone bad, therefore you spent money and you have nothing to cook. Realising you have let your good intentions slip away, the guilt seeps in as you toss spoiling food. You might even find yourself browsing recipes online, fantasising about the meals you could have created, only to close your laptop and order takeout instead. Still, you go to the shop repeating this process even though you know you won't cook them. It starts a cycle of hope and disappointment that emphasises the difficulty many people have juggling a busy life with good diet. You can even start to doubt your buying patterns and ponder whether it's time to modify your strategy and maybe choose pre-made meals requiring less effort or fewer components.
