Eat less junk food

I was at the movies today for a friends party, and I realized why I have been avoiding candy and junk food… even if it’s low in calories… it’s SO GOOD… Today I had a starburst, a few watermellon sour patch, and a handful of sweet tart chews. And though those are mostly low in calories, I don’t want to desensitize myself to good, wholesome natural foods.

Today I also had about 16 oz’s of sprite, simply because the bottles were so cool! (They were the old glass bottles… so awesome).

So, really I would say that this goal is really difficult for me, considering the life-style that I have… when I walk to town with friends, all we can do is eat… there is nothing really entertaining or fun for us to do. Hopefully I can figure out some alternatives.

Tomorrow my mom is going to take me to whole foods so I can buy some HEALTHY food. My goal went down the drain when I ran out of my vegetables, and just started eating whatever was in the house. I want to cut back on ANYTHING processed, and just go for the healthy stuff.

So I swore off junk food yesterday, so it’s only logical that today I find a junk food tresure trove in my backpack at lunch… urgh. I ate half a bag of cheetos, then threw them out in discust. I hated myself lol. But then I went running, and sort of evened it all out. So far though, not so good. Tomorrow I will be much more strict. No junk food…. AT ALL… urgh.

Junk food is my vice. I get good grades. I like people. I don’t smoke, drink, or do drugs. Junk food is my one, and only vice. But ohhhh no, not just one type of junk food. ALLL of it. Candy, fries, burgers, soda… I love it all. But I hate that I love it. I know that I am thin (enough), but I can tell that I am probably one of those fat people hiding inside of a thin person… I have a fat soul. And I don’t want to get older and let that fat soul become a fat body. I want to look and feel good all of my life. Junk food is the reason that almost 25% of Americans are obese.

So I am cutting it out. The first week is the most important, I believe, for all goals, so I will be checking in every day. This goal basically corresponds with my others, so I’ll feel like I’m getting a lot done when I am not! FUN! I want to cut down, to almost nothing, my junk food intake, and they say, once you stop, you feel so much better, you have more energy, and you will lose your taste for that processed crap. I’m really both looking forward to and dreading this goal.
