Do you have good eating habits when it’s just you? Do you have to force yourself? Is it a struggle? Are you pretty lax about it?

Or—do you tend to overdo it? or junk it? or order takeout?

When I lived alone, long years ago, I skipped a lot of meals and did minimal preparation on others; pita bread, sliced Swiss cheese, and an apple were a favorite combination. I seldom cooked meat of any kind.

I don’t know what I would do now, but I think I would fall very quickly into bad habits such as convenience foods and poorly balanced meals.
