Little Fish.

Rewind Back about eight months. Every single day, I would eat junk food, tons of fat, and barely any veggies. However, when I realized that it would be best to lose a few pounds for work, I realized that my diet was terrible.

Ok, I know I was not overweight or anything. However, if I wanted to eat something, I would just... eat it. Anything I wanted, anytime. Candy, cookies, cake, red meat, french fries, whatev. Over the summer, thankfully, my diet drastically changed. This is a good thing. Making good diet habits is paramount while I am still young.

One of the things I decided to give up was red meat. I know this decision isn't for everyone. However, for me, there wasn't enough diet benefits to outweigh the liabilities. So, now, I pretty much stick to chicken, turkey, fish, and vegetarian products. My absolute new fave happens to be the veggie burger. Seriously... so good. All you carnivores: don't judge until you've tried.

All of a sudden, I seriously crave veggies all the time. And whenever I have to eat greasy food, I feel awful for several hours. (the only thing to eat on a set the other day was pizza. yummy, but I felt gross. blech.)

I think this life change came at a very good time for me. My perspective about myself has changed. I feel like now I have more respect for myself. With this in mind, it can still be tough to navigate the waters of American food. There is so much crap in our food. But eating healthy is possible.
