Why is it...

that I can buy a frozen pizza for less than two bucks, but a bunch of grapes costs four?

that candy bars are 10 for $10 at my local grocery store?

It just makes me so mad! I go to the grocery store every week and pile my cart with healthy eating. And then I pass aisles and aisles of convenient, cheap, junky food that just makes my taste buds tingle. I haven't had a hershey bar in I don't know how long...

Since it's been forty days, I've loosened up the reigns on my diet. I know, we really shouldn't call it a diet, because it should be a lifestyle change, right? But I tell you, today, I was really sick of eating my salad at lunch. I started craving again and indulged by having a few extra wheat thins when I really shouldn't have had any at all...

Most days I'll prepare a lean cuisine or other diet frozen meal, paired with salad and piece of fruit. The convenience foods get pretty expensive though, so I've started trying to get realistic about what I'd be eating EVERYDAY. I've discovered the peanut butter and jelly on toast with a glass of skim milk is by far one of my favorite breakfasts. For lunch, however, I would usually eat a sandwich because I wanted to eat the chips. Now, I eat a sandwich with a salad and fruit. Not so yummy. I've got to find a healthy, salty alternative!

Wait...I've got to go...my boy is crying for me...
