Shopping List and Healthy Eating = NO FUN!!!!

i used to like going food shopping. i really don't know why, but i did. perhaps it was a sign that i was independent and fending for myself. those random trips to the grocery store in undergrad made me feel like i was the MAN!

whose got a shopping cart? ME! and whose gonna put whatever the hell he wants in it? THIS GUY!

if i wanted to buy golden grahams and honey buns for breakfast, i could do that. whipped cream as a snack? no problem! it was all okay. i was a newly crowed king, exercising his right to buy whatever he wanted for his pantry.

times changed though. about two years ago, i decided to make efforts to become a full-fledged adult and make a shopping list. now, while making a shopping list is certainly a large adult task, i'm certain that i could've managed it. the problem was that i tried to make a shopping list of HEALTHY FOOD.

TILT.

STOP.

PAUSE.

this was clearly a task that was beyond my ability. before, my cart will filled with color and life. you know, FUN. now, it was filled with broccoli and brita filters.

i'm happy to report, however, that at this point i actually like broccoli and i absolutely must have water every day. but it wasn't an easy transition at all. my advice to anyone is to either pick one or the other. either decide to make a shopping list, or eat healthy. NOT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. and especially not if you washed and folded all your clothes during the same week.
