An Ode to Real Food

Feb 18, 2008 10:26

For the past three nights I have been stuffy and sniffling and not feeling at all very well. I coughed all last night, the deep rumbling cough that wakes you up from a dead sleep. I'm so sick of being...well, sick.

Starting tomorrow I have a new diet regimen planned. I'm going to buy cases of bottled water (Replacing Diet Coke), and I'm going to buy an assortment of veggies and fruits that I have never tried before (Replacing chocolate and chips), I'll buy turkey hamburger and chicken breasts, and whole wheat pastas and unsalted nuts and seeds. Natural orange juice, 1% milk, 100% wheat bread as well as crackers. (I've been buying Sara-lee's 45 calorie wheat bread for a while now, and I really like it).

The way I see it, there is no reason to really call this a diet. Since it is the food that we were originally intended to eat before some wise ass decided that we should over process everything. It means cutting out cheese, but there is so much sodium in it that I really should have done that 100% a long time ago. And no more hot dogs or chicken nuggets or stuff like that for me. Although I am going to bend on yogurt, because I buy Activia, and it's got a lot of fiber in it anyway and is only like 70 calories.

I just need to find a way to get Justin to eat some of the things I will be. I really want to get out of this ten lb trap I seem to be in. I kind of float around within it, and never manage to get out of it because of the constant temptations that I have to buy for him for lunches and snacks and stuff. Not that it's his fault, it's my weak will that does it in the end.

So here's my final crack down on my weight. Cause after this sneak attack, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to stop losing weight and just be myself. But at that point, I hope to eat a lot healthier than I do now.
