I have turned a corner in my mind...

Now it may be easier because it is summer...but I noticed this radical change in my eating habits. Whatever it is - I love it. My fridge is overflowing with fruits and vegetables. I do not ordinarily enjoy fresh veggies but I am going crazy this year for all of the delicious flavors. I am eating 8-10 servings seemingly every day. Here's how:

- grapes -- my father (who has separate living quarters in my house) takes all of the grapes off of the vine prior to storing them so this makes a great snack just to reach and eat fast
- carrots, broccoli and snap peas -- one of my dear friends brought over a giant veggie tray from Costco a few days ago (I dip these in just a hint of queso and I love it)
- melon -- my dad just bought a huge watermelon and cut it all up - yum!
- bagged salad -- we have a salad with every meal
- corn -- we have been buying corn on the cob that has already been cleaned up
- strawberries -- this is another grab food we go nuts for

I have not been reaching for the bad treats these last couple of days. Not only am I getting a huge variety of vitamins but I am also significantly boosting my fiber intake!
