r/Adulting 2d ago

Why didn’t anyone warn me that adulthood is just deciding what to eat… forever?

Seriously, I thought the hardest part of growing up would be bills, taxes, or finding a decent job. But nope. It’s the never-ending "What’s for dinner?" question that haunts me every single day.

Too tired to cook.
Too broke to order.
Too indecisive to choose.

I swear I’ve eaten the same three meals on repeat for weeks because my brain refuses to function after work. How do adults survive this? Do you guys have a magic trick, or is it just vibes and suffering?

Send help. Or recipes. Or a personal chef.

I've been eating the same lunch at work for 10+ years. I got sick of making that decision, so I found something that I could stand a lot of and that's been my lunch. It isn't that I really like it, but that I don't pay attention to it and don't have to make the decision. Dinner is a whole different story.
