eat fruit instead of sweets

I never thought I’d say this, but instead of craving the usual chocolate cookie, I’ve been craving oranges. wth? I love it. And it’s so good for me, it makes me happy. :)

At first I had to force myself to eat fruits instead of diving into the cookie jar. (And I’d also give myself permission to have one or two cookies). Then, I stopped feeling the urge to eat both the fruit and the cookies. Now, I have a hard time going through the day if I don’t eat fruit. They’re so juicy and fresh and yummy and filling… :)

AND I learned to love them raw. So they’re quick to grab, easy to eat, and good for the body. (And I still satisfy my sweet tooth)

As Marge Simpson once said, “fruit is nature’s candy.” Therefore, since I usually need to have something sweet at the end of every meal, I shall start substituting fruit for a cookie or ice cream or whatever. This definitely doesn’t mean that I’ll stop eating those things when I want them though. It just seems a bit more healthy to choose strawberries or an orange instead.
