Also, I would be happy to teach you to cook! Don’t be afraid! You can do it!

Regarding diets– not a fan. Never have been. As a matter of fact, the only thing I ever did that got me close to dieting was reading about the Mediterranean Diet and then not following it but just making more of an effort to eat in that way.

I was recently talking with my boyfriend about the difficulty today in eating properly and how ironic it is that the prices of natural, normal, untainted food have skyrocketed and the crap has plummeted.

Honestly, my truly largest obstacle is a lack of knowledge in a kitchen. I just don’t know how to cook and I don’t feel comfortable cooking and that trickles down into not feeling comfortable grocery shopping.

I’ve recently committed to eating more fish, fruits, and vegetables in my diet. It’s not about following a prescribed diet, it’s just about learning to make a habit of eating better foods overall because then the other stuff doesn’t come into play as often and so when it does, it’s a treat.

How we veered away from such a common-sense approach to eating is beyond me. Sad really.

Yay for feeling great! I love your approach to this…even though I’m still counting points, I give myself free license to eat as many fruits and veggies as I want. I’m fairly certain that brussels sprouts were never what was standing between me and smaller jeans.

I have to admit that I barely glanced at the photo and instantly thought, “why would anyone make a watermelon sandwich??”

heh

Looks yummy now that I know what it is.
