Happy Friday everyone! Can you believe it's already May? Time sure flies but this doesn't stop me from living life and exploring new things.
For the past four months I have been eliminating certain foods from my diet to not only challenge me but to get back into bikini/swimsuit shape. I have given up sweets, alcohol, dairy, and sodas/sweet teas. It has been a great challenge so far. My taste buds still love me, and I have a better appreciation for food and drinks. Giving up certain foods has helped me be more conscious when it comes to grocery shopping and cooking. Also, I decided to continue to give up sodas unless we go to a BBQ and there are sodas available. I may give in for a day which will be fine. After all, my month of no soda is over so I can squeeze in a soda or two.
This month I am giving up any snack food like chips or popcorn or there like. This won't be as difficult but it will be still challenging. Popcorn basically is kind of a healthy snack yet I love to add butter to it and then it becomes bad. Chips are my weakness. I love barbecue flavored chips. I could devour an entire bag when I'm bored. Plus, with warmer weather and spring events happening all over chips are always around.
At home I can easily replace snack food with veggie sticks, unsalted nuts, and fruits. Yet, when you are invited to parties this will be a challenge. Then again, we won't be invited around here, so this shouldn't be an issue. I know I can do this, it will be just interesting to go around my beloved {unhealthy} snacks.

Good luck! That's my weakness, too, chips. Specifically cool ranch. But I'm finding now the processed foods and junk taste horrible and I immediately regret my cheat. I think I'm *finally* off chips...
oh, I love buttery popcorn too! Good luck with this new challenge. Maybe bring some healthy snacks with you when you go to parties, if you know a veggie plate won't be available? Have a great month, Selma!
I am so impressed on how you push through. Really amazing. I kinda love chips and popcorn and this would be hard. Maybe not as hard as cake and candy but still. Maybe I should give it a try... right after I had another bag.
I was doing so well with cutting foods and only drinking water for a while. I honestly don't even know what happened. Good luck to you!
