What Vivs said entirely.

This is gonna kinda lengthy, so... yeah.

I just decided to stop eating junk food and I almost never want it anymore... And by junk I mean candy and sweet stuff... Except for my mom's fudge. I only get to have a batch like 1x a year. And it's pretty healthy as far as sweets go.. She doesn't use marshmallow cream -or- extra sugar, so the only sugar is what's in the chocolate. She adapted it for my dad after he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and everyone that has some absolutely dies over it.

I actually already prefer eating healthy in general. I like pasta, but I always snack around on stuff I'm cooking while I'm cooking it, so I'm never hungry by the time I'm done. And when I -do- fix a bowl of it, I'll use more of the sauce/topping and way less noodles to try and balance it out. I'm perfectly happy with a salad of baby spinach and a bunch of veggies mixed in and lime juice for the dressing instead of -actual- dressing.

The big issue that I have now is my boyfriend. He's got major issues with losing weight. As in. He can eat 5 lbs of food in one sitting and still lose 10 lbs in one day. Someone mentioned that it's genetics 'cuz he's Filipino and grew up in the Philippines and Filipinos tend to stay skinny, but his grandfather was Spanish and his parents are both chunks along with his older brother. So I -have- to cook a lot of carb-heavy food for him and it's hard to budget in healthier stuff for me 'cuz of our weekly grocery budget. Sure, I can buy veggies and stuff, but it usually has to wind up in whatever I make for him. So what I buy has to be in-season to keep food costs down and with winter coming up... yeah...

Anywhooooo!
