Today I went food shopping by myself. I say ‘by myself’ because usually Matthew and I do shopping together on the way home, so shopping by myself isn’t that frequent an occurrence, and worth clarifying.
I remember when I first moved out of home, shopping for groceries was such a novelty. I could try all these new brands and junk food varieties, it was like buying presents for myself. Hence, I didn’t really eat very well a lot of the time.
Today it was as if I’d just moved out of home - in went the TeeVee snacks, BBQ shapes, chocolate biscuits, soft drink, cinnamon donuts, chips… of course I put the token package of minced beef and some pasta sauces in there to make it look as though I do eat food other than junk. But I doubt that the woman at the checkout was fooled.
But I did have MEPS* for lunch today, followed by a Baker’s Delight chocolate croissant. Yummy!
