Going as Organic as I can

So I really like junk food. I have 100 calorie chips and a 60 calorie no sugar added pudding everyday. But I definitely practice self control. I've been watching my calorie intake and I've lost about 8 pounds. The only way I've been able to do it is to have low calorie, low fat snacks so I won't feel so deprived. I never go overboard and have a lot, but I do have them everyday.

Today I clicked on a link about 12 food additives to avoid. It mentioned the effects of these food additives as well as the foods they can be found in. And now I want to go on a rampage. I want to throw out my puddings, fat free salad dressings, 40 calorie fudgesickles and potato chips and substitute them for healthier alternatives. We already eat about 80% organic/natural. We eat lots of fresh veggies. My husband and daughter eat lots of fruit. I like them, but for some reason, don't eat them. But I will start. The other 20% that we eat is either not organic or just unhealthy low calorie snacks that I eat to get through the day. I cook homemade A LOT. But now, I just want to make sure I do that more often. I can't bake yet because it's still Lent. But once Lent is over, I will have healthy homemade desserts.

From now on, we will try to only buy things when we can pronounce all of the ingredients on the label. If it has a long list of chemicals, we won't buy it. My husband and I saw Supersize Me about 7 or 8 months ago and we haven't eaten any fast food since. (thank you Jesus) We already buy healthy alternatives to ice cream. We buy organic frozen yogurt. Today I found healthy alternative to potato chips. We have found healthy alternatives to dip. We not eat hummus by the bucket-load. So we don't eat terribly but nevertheless, I still feel we can do so much better. And I am VERY inspired to do so. The closer it is to the way God made it, the better it is for you.

Thankfully, my husband really doesn't mind what we buy or what we eat. He makes life easy. But I don't think he is going to want me to throw out the case of puddings we bought from costco...
