It's the fact that the easier options are bad choices.
It's easier to sit around the house than it is to exercise. It's easier to order pizza than it is to cook something. It's easier to be ignorant than actually learn and change.
The easy choice should be the good one. Making a bad choice should take effort.
Maybe it’s how you look at it. In the moment it’s an easier choice. But in the long run one leads to health complications and harder to come back from.
I call it Immediate gratification. Doesnt mean the choice is easier: just less with thought, self love or intention.
i think stress is a bigger problem. That needs to be addressed more seriously especially in a capitalist hell scape. Eating/drinking to find comfort/self medicate is but a symptom of a bigger problem.
Maybe there's a lesson/path of action therein.
