I am a foodie,and my eating habits aren’t the best. I love everything that isn’t good for me, especially candy. In my past efforts to lose weight I would just cut out fast food and put frozen dinners in its place. I lost some weight, but it was just the weight you lose from cutting out fast food. I was still eating processed food, and very little fruits and veggies. Honestly, the only time I saw a vegatable was when my mom cooked Sunday dinner, and that was usually collard greens cooked with some type of meat in it. Usually sausage. I managed to lose some weight this way because I cut my calories, but I was still eating junk and I never reached my weight loss goal.
I know now that this isn’t the way to go, so I’m going to try something different. I’ve been researching eat clean, and the Clean Eating Diet for a while. Never thought I could do it though. I thought it would be too hard, too time consuming, and too expensive. However, after extensive research, I’ve realized that its not really that hard, expensive, or time consuming. It’s all about planning.
I have the ability to cut out processed food, but I always thought that it meant buying all this food and making all these random meals, which added up to an expensive shopping list. However, that is not the case. If you plan your meals ahead it ends up not being expensive. For example, you can make chicken dishes one week, turkey dishes another, and fish dishes another. Find enough recipes for the week, and shop for the ingredients in the recipes. It’s actually quite easy.
So this is my new endeavor. Eating clean. I believe I can do it. My only issue would be my mom, who I think tries as hard as she can to stay away from anything healthy. I don’t want to hurt her feeling , but if what she cooks doesn’t fit my guidelines I can’t eat it. I do believe I can get around that and maybe even convince her to make healthier choices.
We will see how this will work out for me. Hopefully eating clean and exercise will get me to my goal on schedule.
