This morning my sweetie and I went to Super Wally World to do our weekly grocery shopping. As we were checking out, I couldn't help but gleefully noticed that our cart didn’t contain anything unhealthy. We were loaded down with tons of fresh produce, whole wheat and fiber rich grains, low-fat dairy, and lean meats.
Yes, there was one bag of Dove dark chocolate in the cart, but dark chocolate has been clinically proven to help raise HDL, which is something my sweetie needs, and it’s been proven to keep me happy and sane, which I need. We use it for medicinal purposes and it’s carefully administered at no more than two small squares a day.
I glanced around at the other shoppers checking out and noticed many like me who desperately need to lose weight, and the amount of junk food I saw was disgusting. Cases of sodas, cookies, ice-cream, processed frozen foods, and so on. Their carts are the type of carts that I used to have every week as I continued to moan about why I was so fat.
The reason I know that I will lose this weight once and for all is because I have really turned a corner when it comes to food. I love food and always will, but I no longer want that junk food in my life. Not when I can create healthy and tasty food, which my body will thank me for by dropping these unwanted pounds and improving my health.
How many of you have noticed how your weight loss is now controlled by what goes into your shopping cart? How many have converted to a completely healthy way of shopping or are you still struggling to gain that control over those prepackaged evil-doers calling your name?
