Restaurant At Home Meal 
The other day my father and I were looking through my past purchases over the month. As a high school girl, my father expected numerous tabs from beachwood mall and other clothes stores. Sadly, I wasted one of my whole pay checks on nothing, but food and gas. To make the matter worse, the result of my mutiple gas purchases only occurred beause of my need to go out for food everyday during the weekend. This makes me ask myself multiple questions. Why do I eat so much? When is too much food too much food? How does restaurant food remain so appealing? Are the numerous food choices the attraction, or the fact the food comes from the effort of another? I find my impulse to eat out a result of complete laziness and my frustration with the limited choices I find in my own pantry. The most frustrating thing about meals is having to make a concoction that you, in five minutes, will not even want to eat. Then, after the meal, you must clean up. If you neglect this task, your parents run in yelling about how they "just cleaned the kitchen" (when really you cleaned it yourself an hour before). This leads to only further frustration and a complete ruin of the amazing meal you dreamed of having. So where has the money all gone? The money has gone to a hungry stomach and a lazy mindset.
Kelsey, I have this same problem. I spend way too much money on gas and going out to eat. I agree that often times it's due to laziness, although I think that, most of the time, going out to eat is actually more effort and time. I think quickly microwaving something (like I normally do) is truly a lazy mindset.
