I'm new here (about a week and a half so far) and encountered an interesting problem today. I came home and was putting away my groceries when I realized I had no more room in my produce drawer of my refrigerator. I took over part of the meat/cheese drawer and when I was done realized that it now contained more vegetables than meat and cheese. This is a first for me and a good problem to have, but it hit me as a big change in my life. My fridge is very green when you open it now. This is a success story for me.

    Not the same as all my veg is frozen but my cupboards and freezer used to be bare as I would eat a lot of take out like mcdonalds. Now they are full with filling but healthy foods. Good feeling to know you are making a good change.

    Haha! I just had that same "problem" and realization this past weekend. I opened my fridge and saw water, milk, celery, carrots, grapes, strawberries, etc, etc, etc...all good food. It made me smile at my families progress. It was even better when I opened the freezer and instead of frozen pizzas, high fat red meat, snacky high fat foods, ice cream, and such I saw frozen turkey, chicken, low calories/fat desserts (because we all need a little indulgence every now and then :wink: ) and more frozen veggies and fruits.

    Keep it up and yes, be VERY proud of your fridge make over :)

    Thats so funny! Mine was the same way. I even told my son, who is away at college, that I don't even know who's kitchen I'm in LOL It certainly doesn't look like mine.
    Congrats to you!!!!

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement. The best part is I'm discovering that I like far more fruits and veggies than I thought I did. Who knew healthy was so tasty?

    I don't call it a problem - I love that I eat way less meat than I used to. I am trying to shop twice a week , rather than once weekly, so that I have fresher veges/ fruit in the fridge.:smile:
