    I use a strat where I play past me off against future me as present me and through spiteful actions can achieve these things. Maybe a similar strategy can work for you. Let me give an example:

    Your disgust with past you motivates you to go to the grocery store. Your pettiness toward future you means you buy ingredients instead of prepped. The future anger this engenders in a present you forced to prepare a sandwich can be fed back into the system to motivate a trip to the grocery… etc.

    Never underestimate spite.

    Edit: if you find yourself cackling in the produce aisle holding some weirdo hard to prepare growth you have gone too far and should dial it back.

    What about some rolls and some cold cuts and sliced cheese with some romaine? Takes only a few minutes to make a sandwich. Probably less than you would need to microwave most prepared meals.

    Slow cookers can be found at estate sales for very little, usually under $10 equivalent. You can throw your preferred meat, canned beans, canned tomatoes, canned whatever you like in and let it cook overnight and usually end up with something you can freeze, reheat and eat without a big loss in taste quality. That slow cooker does all the work for you while you sleep, you just have to package it however you like.

    Know anyone at work or through any other connection who likes to cook? Maybe worth thinking about if you have a skill to trade they lack. Maybe you could work out something where you provide ingredients and they meal prep for you while you provide them with a skill you have that you enjoy.

    Don’t eat the lead. Best of luck!
