Today was the first time I realized that I haven’t had any sort of temptation or offer to eat something other than healthy food…until now. As I turned the corner to get into my tiny kiosk of a world at work I noticed a new co-worker just three spots down the row. She was golden brown and covered head to toe in the shiniest glaze as if she were just stepping out of the ocean in a tropical hawaiian commercial…her name was Krispy Creme. Oh those donuts looked good, so like Joseph of Egypt, I ran. Not really, but I did stuff my face into my cubicle out of her lustful sight. The episode past fairly quickly, but I was suprised to notice that I’d never even been offered junk food all week outside of this experience. It seems like that should happen all the time. Eating healthy is turning out to be easier than I thought it would.

My meals were pretty tasty today and the main lesson here is resist temptation. She may have golden brown skin and shine like no other, but broccoli soup is pretty shiny herself (admitedly a very weak argument…and I’m not sure why every food I eat is female…that’s just how it is so please don’t ask me to change. Eating male donuts just sounds wrong).
” Buy whole foods in place of processed foods. The whole is greater than the sum of the part (read the book, you’ll understand), In the market, try not to buy things your great grandparents wouldn’t recognize as food. And here’s the overall slogan, “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.”
