To Diet or Not to Diet!

I know my eating habits are not what they should be, and I can't seem to break out of my bad habits! I do really good in the morning, but come afternoon or evening, I'm ready to grab for the junk food. Yes, I know that I could deal with that by not having junk food in the house. It's rough during soccer season, I don't get to cook like I want to, so we eat a lot of cereal and waffles and quick stuff.

I thought about doing the Special K Challenge, but the more I look at it, the more unsure I am of it. Where are the fruits and vegetables? It seems kind of odd to eat a snack bar for lunch.  I feel like I'd be hungry all the time and that would just get me in more trouble because I'd be snacking all the time. I guess with some willpower, I could get through the 2 weeks and if it helped me to lose even a pound, that would be good. I could see it being a gateway to me eating better, but then again I could just start eating better and not do the Special K Challenge.

I'm torn! I want to eat better, I really do. Part of me is being lazy because I don't feel like taking my nephew food shopping, so I don't go during the week when he's here. Last time I took him, he screamed the entire time we were shopping! It was not an easy shopping trip! Part of me is so busy with everything else that I'm just not taking the time to fit in healthier eating. That is something that will change once I am not watching my nephew anymore!

I guess I could just buy a bunch of fruits and veggies and find recipes for healthier meals and get stuff ready so that I can start eating healthier. Instead of cookies I could eat an apple. I seem to eat a lot of pasta too, which I really should cut down on a lot.

I'm going to try to go to the library this week and take out a book on healthy eating. Maybe if I read about what I should be doing it will help me. I'm getting in a ton of exercise every week, the least I could do is eat healthier so I can actually see the benefits of all my hard work! It is stupid of me to keep eating the way I do. I'll be going food shopping tomorrow! Let's hope I can make better decisions on what I buy!
