So far, I just opt for the not necessarily healthier option -- but certainly a better option. When I buy things like pasta, I go for the whole wheat pastas. Same with breads/english muffins etc. I'm not down with low fat options either. Like, low fat yogurt for example tastes like sadness. Another thing, I do prefer to cook for myself -- a good thing -- but I'm wondering if the things I'm cooking for myself are necessarily a good and better choice. I cook a lot of hearty stews -- meat and potatoes is what I grew up eating.
I think my main thing, is getting control of my sugar intake. I have such a sweet tooth. The one place I refuse to let go of the sugar is in tea. But otherwise -- and logically -- I know I'd be fine giving the rest up. But I also wonder should that include fruit?
Anyways, how did you learn to take control over your diet? What motivated you to stick to it?
