I consider myself a “live-to-eat” kind of girl. I don’t eat because I have to. I eat because I love the taste of food. Food is a pleasure for me. I have found I need to find pleasure in healthy eating too. You don’t have to eat food that tastes like cardboard. It may take a while to find those things or may take a while to prepare those foods, but your body and mind will thank you later.
Have you ever seen a beautiful skinny women walking down the street and thought to yourself, wow I wish I looked like that. The second thought is what a @#$%&. You are probably laughing right now because you know I am right. If you aren’t laughing you are a better person than I. The other thought is I bet she has never eaten a cheeseburger. The truth is she probably does eat them, but only half a cheese burger and it probably only happens once a year.
You don’t have to starve yourself. Get some whole wheat bread or buns. Get some ground turkey, season it up and pop it in a pan. Next thing you know you will have a great tasting burger. Use light mayo, mustard, pickles, low fat cheese, grilled onions, tomato, lettuce and maybe a little avocado. Get some baked fries from the frozen section and you are good to go. You can still have the foods you love just modified.
Keep up the good work everyone!!
