I made the most scrumptious chef salad for lunch today. Romaine lettuce, boiled egg, turkey bacon, red onions and shredded carrot. Yes, that's carrot, not cheddar cheese! I know everything is beddar with cheddar, but when you pile on the ingredients and dressing, who can actually taste the cheese anyway? I figure if it looks like cheese, it must be as good, right? I didn't miss it. I did think I was going to miss the pile of ranch or bleu cheese I wanted to throw on there though. But alas, I chose an alternative and guess what? The tangy balsamic was surprisingly better! It's all about choices people. When you choose to make a healthy eating decision, it is so much more rewarding and let's be honest, it usually does taste better.
What eating choices do you struggle with? For me, I have to deliberately and consciously make an effort to eat healthy: every meal, every snack, every time I eat. It's living life one meal at a time and battling with choices until I can take it day by day.
I am the same, Lori! I have to really think about what I'm going to eat. If not, I'll find myself face first in a bowl of brownie mix. This is an awesome undertaking. You are on your way!!!!

Forgot to add this to my comment... Turkey bacon actually has more sodium and preservatives. Believe it or not, real, lean bacon is a better alternative. Read this in my Clean Eating magazine and it's true. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky! I will have to check your magazine out!
ReplyDeleteLori, I think that this is an awesome undertaking. I know that you can do it and once you have completed your journey, you may have a book to sell.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anonymous. I would love to make this a book once it's all said and done!
