Healthier eating habits

Maybe I'll just turn this into a diary while waiting for the rush of responses to my post...

Have all but banned processed sugar from the house. I went into a flurry of baking cookies and biscotti when I first started taking Remeron - I *had* to get my instant energy, my body demanded it! I've since transferred the source of the sugars to fresh and dried fruits. I love melons and will get a whole one, cut it all up and keep it handy in the fridge for when the munchies call.

Trying to do the same with salad items - I started pricing out the difference between buying a bag of washed and torn lettuce and buying an entire head, and I nearly fell over! When you've decided to eat a big salad as a meal once a day, how you buy your veggies makes a difference to your wallet. So I've changed how I buy those, too. Part of this is an effort to make me think more about the food before I put it in my mouth. It takes work to get to gratification. So I'm tending to buy the veggies whole (organic and local when available), and then spending time after I shop doing the prep work, putting the cut up veggies into little baggies so it's no effort to throw a salad together when it's time to eat.

Have cut way down on cheese :-( my true love, the fattier the more I love them, though still having some to keep a calcium source. (Who drinks milk any more? Anybody here?) For protein instead, I keep almonds - my favourite nut, ever - on hand, to toast and munch on, put into a salad, or in a sandwich. Yum.

OK, time to go grocery shopping. Just say No! to Pop Tarts and Munchos!
