I don’t think I eat too much junk, but I’m trying to eat healthier. BUT the ‘bad’ stuff tastes good! Sometimes in look in the pantry and the chips or chocolate or biscuits or icecream is calling to me. We live in a world of food engineered to hit the sweet/salty/fatty sweet spot in the brain. It’s hard to resist. Anyway, today was not a day of resistance, looking at you salt and vinegar chips.

Ditto with the healthier eating. My main problem (apart from bad habits around snacking) is that the other people here like to have snacks on hand, so there’s usually something in the cupboard to tempt me
my cupboards are bare
I had cookies today for the first time this year 😔 I've had chocolate 3 times, no icecream, only frosty fruits. No crisps. No cake either. I don't make naan or roti anymore.
my bad food is I sometimes have a spring roll or two for lunch or have some raisin bread.
I'm snacking on dried fruit and nuts
I have much admiration!
