This is a great post. I thought I ate so well until I hired a nutrition coach (or whatever you want to call her, lol) and she saw my food logs and said, “You eat healthy foods, but you don’t have a good balance.” Basically, I eat WAY too many carbs (even tho they are usually complex carbs) and not enough fruits and veggies.

And I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t lose a few lbs.

Funny thing, I started incorporating more veggies, fruits, and proteins and less carbs, and I lost 3 lbs in a week. WOOT!

I also try to avoid processed/boxed foods as much as possible.

Good luck on your journey to “cleaner” eating!

Usually when I eat bad I just do nothing but drink metamucil and coffee the next couple days, it isn’t fun but it usually takes care of business! I guess i need to eat cleaner…

Alright, alright. Geez, I get it already. I eat like crap, therefore I feel like crap. *sigh* I feel defeated!

Great post! I spend a small fortune on my weekly groceries at Whole Foods (and literally, walk out with just a few bags). Eating healthy is expensive, but worth it. We buy organic and natural products only and keep processed foods to an absolute minimum. I try to set a good example for my son; therefore, I believe in practicing what I preach. My son prefers fruits and vegetables over anything else, it is amazing.

I like water, so I don’t mind getting my daily quota (sometimes for a twist, I add a little lime and pretend it’s a Corona). Obviously, this takes a LOT of imagination on my part!

So, based on your description, I guess my family is “eating clean” (love that term)! Our weakness is wine though…cannot give that up!

I agree! I constantly struggle to eat as well as I want even though I try. I also struggle to exercise more than I do. No BS here! I know I suck.

I have tried to eat more whole foods, or natural foods as much as shopping at walmart allows. I eat fruit, yogurt, seeds and nuts for snacks, and I always drink unsweetened tea all day long (and water). It’s hard to keep those calorie counts down even though I’m now tracking them again. I’m amazed at how a whole bag of mini-popcorn is about 100 calories, and how the same calories are in a mini-can of soda. Which fills me up more? If you start paying attention to what is good for you, the calorie counts follow. Fish, veggies, fruits.. all add up to lower caloric intakes than other ‘bad for you foods.’ Just my personal experience…

I have to remind myself not to come over here on Fridays. I hate being forced to admit I’m a fat-junk-food-stuffing-food-ho. I like BSing myself. It’s a way of life!
