I have found that I have a constant struggle with eating healthy. Ever since I started working at the bakery, I always crave sweet foods. When my mom made the pumpkin bars for my Grandma's birthday, I ate 5. Sure, I could have stopped at one and I would have been happy, but I truly think I'm addicted to sugar. I crave it especially after I eat dinner.
Anyway, my goal is to cut bread and sweets out of my diet. I'm not giving up dark chocolate with almonds though because I feel like it's not that terrible. My main concern is that diabeties and sugar problems run in my family, and I don't want to deal with that in my life. It's time to get healthy!
Hey Tiffany! When I saw the title of your blog on someone else's follow links, I knew I had to come see it. Then when I saw that you love finding good recipes, and well, that your background is purple, then I was even more motivated. But I think the thing that hooked me in the end, was your latest post (this one) about wanting to eat healthier. Wow.. we're a good match. I am, well, The Wooden Spoon Girl, I love to cook, but I'm also very big into nutrition. I also happen to be sick with overrun stress that completely wore out my immune system. In short, I'm on a very restricted healing diet to get my body stronger again. The list of foods I can't eat, they were overwhelming at first, but now, 3 months later, it's normal to me. My taste buds have changed somewhat, so I appreciate less sweet foods, and vegetables, and oils that are natural and healthy. If you love to cook, I can send you some neat recipes that will satisfy your sweet tooth while being good for you. No, not yucky sugar free stuff either. Actually delicious, delightfully sweet goodies, that are just made from Good, Natural, Meant-to-be-Eaten ingredients. For example.. have you heard of coconut 'sugar' (its not really a sugar) or stevia extract? Honey is also fab.
ReplyDeleteSince we don't know each other well, and this is already a long comment... I'll end it here. But I hope to hear from you. I'd love to help :D
Have a great Tuesday night!
