cool. i was actually having second thoughts today when i walked down the chocolate aisle and thought "look how much i'm missing out on" and again near the sour cream, milk and the creamy pasta at the deli.
but thanks. you've all been very supportive already. and i just have to remember why i'm doing this. i have a multi vitamin, an iron tablet and a "b complex" tablet every morning to make sure that i don't miss out on what i need. plus i read the labels of nearly everything.
just today in the supermarket with mum, i relised how much easier it is not to buy so much, when usually i wouldve filled a basket with foods i wanted but didn't need. we bought 4 things, light bulbs, soy milk, soy yoghurt and cereal. it all came in under 10 dollars. i'm eating healthier and cheaper.
usually before work i would go in, maybe buy a packet of m'n'ms or a bag of chips and a bottle of coke which usually cost me about 6 or 7 dollars. well i made a deal with a mate at work that i would give up softdrink for atleast 2 weeks so i could see the difference it made. and on the same weekend i decided to give up dairy. so i went in today, actually had to think about what i would buy, i bought a bottle of juice, some almonds and some grapes and it all came to $3.85. so i had some healthy stuff to snack on at work. and you know what? i didn't even eat it all. so its still there for me tomoro. so when i could spent $15 in 2 days. i havn't even spent $4.
plus i already feel just lighter. like i'm not carrying so much bad stuff around in my system
