Fake Food
I'm addicted to Crystal Light. Seriously. I drink two quarts a day. That can't be good, right? Lol. And that got me to thinking. I'm trying to be all healthy, right? My goal is 20 pounds by January (I'm saying it, putting it out there... you all will help keep me honest with that, right? <.g>). Which will be about the thinnest I'll have been in my "adult" life, but I think it's an attainable goal. Anyway. I have this habit of getting everything as low-cal or fat free as possible when I go to the store, because... fewer calories. Yeah. The check-out women even commented on it yesterday. "Wow, you're good. You buy healthy food!" <.giggle> They were the cutest women. But, yeah. So in buying fat-free sour cream and fat-free American and Swiss cheese and no-cal spray butter and light bread, sugar-free jello, skim milk, sugar-free drinks (Crystal Light and sugar-free Kool Aid), Diet Coke (which I'm really not drinking, but is there in case I need caffeine), Smart Ones frozen meals... all of this is just Chemical Cuisine, isn't it? There's nothing *real* there. Of course I bought fruit and veggies and rice and stuff, too, but I feel like the main parts of my diet are all fake. Hmmm. Again, can't be good, right?
