I’m upset with myself

I’ve been trying to make more of an effort to bring lunches to work. Since there’s a food court where I work, I eat there probably 90% of the time. It’s both bad for my health and my wallet. I want to lose about 30 pounds in the long run (not being extreme about it though–I’m hoping to lose just a couple a month) and it’d be great to not spend $5+ a day on unhealthy food when I live below the poverty line.
I keep telling myself I want to Get Healthy and Frugal and today I suddenly went “I’m going to make myself lunches for the week. No food court allowed! And not unhealthy food!” and I went to the grocery store and bought stuff to make sandwiches, and healthier snacks (like pretzel crisps instead of potato chips), veggies, hummus. And then I spent an hour prepping lunches, making several sandwiches and portioning the snacks and veggies into baggies and putting them all in a bag.
And then I went to my parents’ house.
And then I came home, and saw the bag on the counter.
So, there’s that week meal prep, gone bad. I tried.
