Eating Right...or Trying to

Why is it that whenever I eat vegetables they taste like earth? Could it be because they come from the earth?

I am trying to eat better, I am following the food pyramid and cutting back on my starches and sweets, which are my favorite. But, in my opinion, why does everything healthy have to taste gross?

Right now, the kids are fighting, I can't think, I'm tired and all I really want is 6 big chocolate chip cookies. I am blogging to try and take my mind off of them. I won't do it, I know, I have made progress and I know I can have some eventually, but now I am trying to lose weight and I can't indulge every want I have. This is a lesson in itself. Why do I want to eat when I am stressed or when the kids go to bed and I finally have a minute to myself? What is that telling me? That I eat for the wrong reasons? Duh, obviously.

A friend told me that if I have a craving to brush my teeth and it will weaken that craven....here's to mint toothpaste, I hope it takes my mind off a warm, chocolate, chewy, goes great with milk-cookie.

Yeah right.
