Too Lazy To Eat Right

I just discovered an organic/health food store here in town and I’m all about becoming a member, buying most of my groceries from there, switching to their vitamins, and just generally eliminating all the crap I eat. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time anyway; finding this store just gives me some psychological ammunition with which to approach the task.

There’s a problem though. I don’t buy groceries. I don’t cook my own meals. I eat out just about every single meal of every single day. And when I don’t, it’s because I’ve made myself a sandwich from plastic wrapped, highly-preserved, horomone-injected meat products — topped off with a diet soda full of god knows what. It’s quite sad.

I know my body and mind are functioning at like 60% of their potential as a result of this, and I know what to do to fix it. The problem is that I’m a geek. I like to spend time doing things that are mentally stimulating: reading books, reading RSS feeds, blogging, chatting with friends, gaming, etc. I quite simply don’t feel I have time to “work” at preparing meals. I’d honestly pay someone to do it if it was cheap enough.

Anyway, that’s the problem and I don’t know how to fix it. I usually have quite a number of things on my plate between work and personal development, and when I’m hungry I just want to get un-hungry. Like, fast. The idea of me going home and preparing a meal that will take time and may not even taste as good is a major turnoff for me.

So, what am I to do? Has anyone come up with a way to break out of this horribly destructive cycle?
