Advice on eating healthier?

miztwizted

I was raised with the idea that any food is good food because I was so bad with food as a kid. Now I'm older, it's kinda hard to feel that way when I'm eating like a child at almost 20. Ashamed to admit it but I don't eat any vegetables and I don't eat fruit often because the taste and textures differ too much between seasons. I've gained a bit of weight recently and I'm not really independent enough to go out on my own and work it off but that's a whole other issue, my house is also too small to do it inside. I really don't know what to do. I'm ashamed and I feel disgusting to be totally honest. If anyone has any advice for me I'd be grateful :)

  • I wouldn't feel ashamed about what you eat or yourself or be so hard on yourself.

    Things that i eat thar are healthy are :

    microwave wholegrain/brown rice - it is really filling and takes less than two minutes to cook. I like the sainsburys own brand but am not a fan of some of the other brands.

    Microwaveable frozen vegetables - I use birds eye steam fresh brand. I find its the same taste and texture all year round. Takes minutes to make.

    Frozen fruit- I love frozen cherries, blueberries from sainsburies. Other supermarkets do them too but I don't like the other brands frozen fruit. I find the taste and texture the same all year round probably because they are frozen. I eat them while they are still frozen but you can defrost them first.

    Bags of mixed nuts - lots of minerals in them and I like the taste. One big tip is you must keep them in the dark as any sunlight makes them taste bad quick

    Natural full fat Greek yoghurt - so filling and tasty.

    Tinned mackerel - I eat the sainsburys ones as I find the fish always tastes fresh. The other supermarkets ones I find the fish can taste off. You can get the tins plain or flavoured with a sauce.

    I eat the above because its healthy, unprocessed and very little/no preparation required.

    It's also very natural food and I find with eating mostly  natural food I  slowly but surely lose weight without even having to try. I also find natural foods improve my mental state which can be very fragile otherwise.

    I avoid processed foods because I gain weight and they make my mood more fragile. Processed foods are designed so you never feel full after eating them. So it is very difficult to lose weight when eating mostly processed foods without immense will power.
