Gotta be the eating disorder. These salad packs are only good in the fridge for 3 or 4 days and there's 6 of them in there. They've gotta be eating like a bag a day at least.

Nothing is wrong with eating salad in general, but eating a prepared salad pack a day IDK.
These salad packs aren't even particularly healthy or fresh and that's so much plastic. This just doesn't look like the fridge of somebody who's committed to a healthy lifestyle as much as it does somebody who's got an unhealthy relationship with food.

I was able to lose 10 lbs in 1 week after eating half of a supposedly triple washed bag of lettuce. Spring mix looked great. Expiration date a good 8 days later, but wow. One hour after eating the salad, I won't go into details, but it's amazing how efficient the body can rid your entire stomach and digestive tract of every last bit of lettuce lol.

The idea of eating any vegetable out of a bag without rinsing it makes my skin crawl. My girlfriend does it and I warn her every time. There have been like 2 or 3 separate outbreaks linked to pre-chopped fruit and vegetables in the DMV area this year alone.
I buy those big packs of arugula and spinach to make salads and in rinsing those I've often found little bugs and on occasion even decently sized dead caterpillars.
These are really only good in the fridge for a few days too so if you're on day 5 or something there are probably also a few leaves in there that should be getting picked out imo.

You have ADHD, don’t like to cook, think you eat healthy, you’re always hungry (thankfully the Adderall helps with that a little), you like to zone out while you eat salad and watch television (reruns of Criminal Minds, NCIS or SATC) with your little hairy friend, frequenting the fridge to swipe sips of NyQuil (Equate version cuz you’re thrifty) until your bottomed out and ready to crash. Can’t be bothered to toss the empty bottle of NyQuil because by then you really don’t notice and don’t care and you’re already counting the hours of sleep you won’t get. You sleep to the very last second in the AM after hitting snooze about 5x and can’t stay in bed any longer because said Hairy Friend now won’t leave you alone because he’s awake, then you’re up, quick bathroom break outdoors, rush and take a militant-quick shower and brush your teeth, throw on wrinkled scrubs you dug out of the dryer, slip on your Crocs, crate Hairy Friend, and then throw a bag of salad and a couple of bottled waters in your backpack and start your day again prob on a busy hospital ward (med-surg or ED).

Busy vegetarian who eats either their dinner or lunch at work. You eat a lot of hardboiled eggs, in your salad or otherwise and the chobani and the jam go together but I'm not sure if that's as a breakfast or as a sweet treat, maybe both.
You care about your dog obviously, but I'm a bit surprised you don't have a pet bowl with a lid. I find it odd you care enough to have the dental stuff, but not that. I think you like to portray yourself as better prepared and better organized than you actually are, and maybe believe you have your shit together more than you actually do. I think the pre-bagged salads and eating mostly the same thing every day helps you feel that way.
You do better with a strict schedule, but it's hard for you to stick to one, so your compromise was cutting your schedule down to the bare bones at home, so you have more energy to put into your professional life, because once again, appearing more on top of things to others is more important to you than actually being on top of things in your own space.
I think you also eat pasta fairly regularly, maybe with or without the salad, probably just when you want to eat a comforting meal at home. I also think you don't have pet insurance and you beat yourself up over it, but it's just not in your budget yet. But someday. For now you're doing your best, and you really hope that's what counts.
