When Convenience Feels Like Cheating

I used to stare at the pre-cut fruit in the store, pretending I didn’t want it. Pretending I wasn’t tired of fighting with orange peels or feeling guilty for needing help with something so small. People say it’s lazy. That if you really cared about your health, you’d buy whole fruit. But some days, my hands don’t work. Some days, I just want to eat without a struggle or a mess or another reminder that my body doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. I buy the packaged fruit anyway. I still hear the judgment in my head, but I eat it. I’m allowed to make things easier for myself, even if no one else understands. #FoodGuilt #DisabilityLife #LetItBeEnough #Health #Diet
