My New Checkout Candy

I was at Wal-Mart and like usual I was hungry by the time I was finished shopping, but this time was different . Instead of grabbing the usual Twix or Reeses I went to their produce section and grabbed a banana . This experience has got me thinking that maybe I really can change my eating habits for good.

That is awesome! Probably cheaper too. I bought a single banana last week and it was like 27 cents. Crazy!

That's great!! It really is a lifestyle change. It's not a fad or phase, it really should be looked to as a change in your lifestyle. This is just the first step! :happy:

Congrats, that kind of mental change is awesome to hear! Changing those habits until you don't even think about them anymore is the way to go long-term. :flowerforyou:

I find myself craving sushi and raw avacodo spread on bread(as opposed to mayo) instead of fried chicken and butter-mashed-potatoes, so I guess there's hope for us all too!

Last week I got out to the car before I RIPPED an apple out of it's bag and ate it like a crazy person!!! What's awesome is that it's what I wanted more than anything else in the car!

Yay you!!!!!

I know what you mean it is a great feeling! Great job for going for the banana! I went to the grocery store for a few things tonight and all of the bad stuff that I would normally go right for didn't even look good to me. I got some laughing cow cheese, some greek yogurt, and wheat bread for me.

I think the hardest thing up here in Alaska is the face that everything is more expensive. Granted, it's not as bad as portions of CA or HI, but when a single green pepper is $3.25, produce is a bummer.

Thanks everyone :blushing:.
@ Amy: Yeah, it is so funny how the banana was only 25 cents.
@mstahl: That's exactly how I felt when I got to eat the banana. lol

Oh my, wow!!! I thought paying $.99 for a single green pepper was bad. I won't complain anymore.

I always buy bags of almonds, cashews, pistachios or sunflower seeds....................

Protein and fat always do a good job of getting me satisfied.
