Why Do I Do It? - UrbanMoms

It’s been a rough month or so for me, eating-wise, that is.

I’ve been under a fair amount of stress lately, and when I’m stressed out, I eat. And then I had my birthday this past weekend, and that seemed like a good excuse NOT to scrimp, so I didn’t. And I actually had to unbutton my jeans when I was slouching down in a semi-coma on the couch in front of the TV. Yay me.

So yesterday I decided things had to change. I dusted off the Isagenix shakes and had a healthful day.

And helping me have a healthful day…have you seen this?

It’s a veggie platter from Costco. It’s got loads of great stuff: broccoli, cucumber, carrots, grape tomatoes, peppers, sugar snap peas and two kinds of dip (FYI, the mustard dip rocks).

Normally you would buy this and serve it to a group of people at a get-together, but this week I bought one for our family. My kids love to munch on the veggies & dip, and it’s a great snacking option for the Hubster and me, too. Knowing that it’s there in the fridge – and everything is washed, cut and nicely arranged – that is some healthy-eating peace of mind!

And as of closing today, things are going well. Shakes for breakfast and dinner, healthy grilled chicken, veggies and
7-grain salad for lunch, with fresh strawberries to snack on throughout the day. As I said to the Hubster, "this is better. Why do we eat any differently than this?"

Well, why do we?
