I am a huge foodie at heart I just can’t help it; all I can say is I have accepted it and I embrace it. I can honestly tell you that since I have changed my eating habits I have much enjoyment in what I eat and the source my food comes from. It can sometimes be a struggle but at this point I am happy to say it’s worth it.
Today I mustered the courage to finally try on a pair of jeans after two weeks. When I finally did put them on they were loose!!! I was so happy I didn’t know what to do, but jump up and down in excitement. I decided when I stared this journey I would treat myself for every mile stone I made. Last time I treated myself I decided to have chipotle, and regretted eating it about two hours later. This time I did not want to do that…
I went to the grocery store and decided to do some shopping. I had a game plan when I went in. I would stay away from the inner aisles and stick to the outer aisles; as I was walking through the outer aisles beautiful exotic fruit caught my eye. I always wanted to try some of the beautiful fruit, but my close-mindedness and very high prices got in the way. Today was not going to be one of those days I was going to treat myself to one of these lovely fruits…
I decided to try passion fruit; it was 3.00 dollars each and looked like a little bright plum. The juicy seeds were amazing they were tart but very addicting. I was so addicted that I decided to germinate the seeds and see if I can have my own passion fruit in the garden..
Its ok to use food as a treat… 🙂
Soaking for an hour and then I will plant them..

Congratulations on the loose jeans! Way to go on the healthy reward! Woo hoo!
I tried on some old jeans this morning too and was pretty pumped to find that they actually zip up now! I could barely get them on at this time last year. I think they’ll fit better with another ten pounds gone, but for now I’m pretty happy! Congrats to you!
Oh, and I’m so with you on the food-love. I love food so much that it’s often times very, very difficult to eat healthily but the payoff is so worth it!
I know you can’t wait. I can’t wait either.. small sacrifices always payoff…
Definitely nothing wrong to treat yourself with something such as passion fruit. I have yet to try it. I might do that next. Looks yummy. Love your food pics! Its just good to see ppl treating themselves with food in a healthy way. A way that treats you to a nice treat and nourishes your body! Way to go on the jeans!!! Awesome! Keep it up.
