I just meal prep out of pure necessity, not to be healthy

Here I am!<br><br>I work 12hr days 5 days a week, and I am 100% responsible for preparing all the meals for my husband and I. I prep meals in advance for the week because if I didn't I would be starving at work or eating junk I didn't have time to make (and probably sobbing at my desk about how clueless I am about life). I just order groceries, toss them in the oven, and deal with it. Those five days a week plus all the meal prep on the weekends is exhausting. I just don't have the time, and if that means inefficient amounts of plastic and a few dollars extra on fresh produce, at least I'm not a zombie. I literally do not care if the meals I make aren't the "healthiest" or "smartest" ways to do anything, as long as I can eat a day or two in advance and not starve on Monday or Tuesday. If I didn't prep there would be no meals. I don't know how some people can prep for a month at a time. I just can't get excited about eating the same thing every day for three weeks. <br><br>I don't do meal prep because I hate the grocery store, I love grocery stores and actually kinda miss them because of how busy I am. I'm not doing it because I want to be healthy, I'm eating the same meal three times. I'm doing it because I don't want my husband to starve to death, and I guess because I don't want to starve either (I'm not really grossed out by food because I'm too exhausted to be). <br><br>If you are like me, and you are a tired, slightly aimless meal prepper, you are seen.
