Do you have healthy foods or drinks that you just don’t enjoy? Personally, I can’t seem to work up an appetite for baby carrots, almonds, and—though I hate to admit it—plain ol’ water.
I know each of these items have their good-for-me benefits so I decided to give them another go—but this time, serve them with a twist to see if that helped me like them more.
I have been slacking on my healthy eating for the past few months due to a combination of busyness and the blues. Periods of depression and grief will really mess with your eating habits. I tend to not eat when I am grieving, but scarf down comfort food when I am depressed. Mix both together, and you can be in for some serious binges. Add spending 5 nights a week at a bowling alley that only serves deep-fried everything and soda, and it can be a recipe for diet disaster. But I realize that if I don't want to undo all the hard work of losing 50 pounds over the last few years, I need to get back on track. So, I am starting each day by eating a healthy breakfast again, and trying to get back to my healthy snacks and meals. Now that I am settling into my new budget and have figured out how much food I actually need to buy for two people, I can more easily add healthy, quick options back into my shopping list.
