I am addicted to Zapp's Kettle Jalapeno chips. They are so greasy and yummy. I need to vent my addictions to: Godiva chocolate (i have to have a truffle, everytime i go to the mall), Marble slab coconut ice cream( we are trying to cut down because it makes us feel bloaty--interesting?), Jason's Deli strawberry shortcake (i always order it when we go there--even if i am not that hungry), Fruit Roll ups strawberry ( i could eat the whole box in two days) and i am sure there are more but i have listed the major ones. Ok, i am sorry for my rant on my addiction. I have to vent it out to get over it and move on to other healthier choices. I really want to start eating healthy and working out. I figured that i would start off by eating healthier.
We do not drink sodas (except on occassion Root Beer or Sprite--which has alot of sugar). I include at least one green vegatable at every meal. This never goes successfully because my husband does not like any kind of green food and the kids follow suit. Does anybody have any healthy alternative snacks for kids and adults?
I eat a yoplait (low fat) yogurt and granola for breakfast. I have a banana for afternoon snack and then i plummet into junk food hell for lunch. Dinner time rolls around and i cook up the same old meatloaf, spaghetti or lasagna, bagged Bottoli's pasta, or Tyson's frozen chicken patties or chicken fried steak patties. We are on a budget of like $80/week for food, but i fear that buying healthy food will make us go over. So, what gives. I feel that in order to go healthy we have to break our budget.
Well, i am going to start researching recipes and clipping out more coupons. I moved on from clipping coupons for food to clipping coupons for tolietries (shavers,toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and spray sanitizers). Do they have coupons for gas? j/k :)
Well, thanks for listening.

is jason your friend? if not don't click and delete delete delete.
we do our grocery shopping at walmart now instead of HEB, saves us tons of money. We love the thin sliced chicken breasts (the regular fresh kind on the meat wall) with steamed brocoli covered in cream of mushroom.
we love laughing cow cheese wedges in herb garlic flavor with a hand full of wheat thins.
we love 100 calorie pack popcorn
we love tortilla chips and hot sauce/avacado (we do not buy other chips)
we loved bottled water with a flavored packet like iced tea.
i love love love my iced tea maker. i never go to sonic anymore to buy a tea or soda
that's all i can think of for now :)
My addictions: Godiva Chocolates too. Love them! Gelato...can't get enough...ugh!
I have the same problem. My husband does not eat anything green. Well except Edamame but still, at $3 a bag, seriously.
I agree with Marie about the cheese. It somehow fills you up. I love the Babybel cheeses, only 70 calories. But tempting to eat more than one.
For desserts, when we are able to make it to Sams, we buy those Swiss Miss Fudge Bars, only 90 calories.
And for some reason, water with lots of ice gets me full. Especially around 2- 4 pm when I'm just craving junk food!
But keep up the good work! You're headed in the right direction.
Ok, now you made me hungry! I have found that I have no will power at all so I just won't even go down the chip/snack/cookie isle at the store. Everytime I do, I end up buying a bunch of junk and then of course eating it all just because it's there.
To help cut our grocery bill, we started shopping at Costco and it's cut our bill almost in half! They have lots of great, even organic food there too, I love it!
It's horrible that healthy eating is so costly. I wish I knew some of the tips that the girls know, but unfortunately I don't. Lots of caffeine is my diet. Haha! Keep up the good work!
