I was thinking today about how different my eating habits are now from not that long ago.  I am shocked that I didn’t die of scurvy or malnourishment.  This is how I used to eat before I joined my gym.  The sad thing is that at the time I actually felt like I was making an effort to eat somewhat healthy.

• Breakfast – If I had breakfast it was usually a cereal bar.  I skipped breakfast a lot of times. (face plant)

• Lunch – This meal is actually not too different.  I try to find a sensible meal choice at wherever I end up going to eat with my coworkers.  I did, however, almost always have a Coke with my meal. (face plant)

• Afternoon snack – Another Coke and a candy bar or bag of M&M’s.  (face plant)

• Dinner – Some meals are the same but some are very different.  I used to love my fried/battered foods such as chicken fingers, chicken parmesan, etc.  I gave up those foods completely when I decided to change.  I still love my chicken and broccoli.

• Night – I would have a glass of milk and a dessert.  Cookies = yum. (face plant)

Ugh.  What a disaster.  Could there be more junk and less fruits/veggies on that list?  What’s different now?  One dessert a week instead of one a night.  Two Cokes a week instead of two a day.  No more fried foods.  Making an effort to eat fruits/veggies.  No wonder I feel so much better now.  I rarely get sick anymore, my stomach rarely bothers me anymore, etc.  Gee, I wonder if not eating like this anymore has anything to do with that?
