Oh man, I’m the rogue in this convo. I don’t have an ideal like you do. So virtuous- even your real is way virtuous! All I try to stick with is buying the organics of the dirty dozen and keep it to under 3 diet cokes a day. Kidding. Sorta. I try to eat lower carb than a ‘normal’ person. I try to eat more protein but I totally have ham probably daily. And lots of fish. Not much beef. Lots of chix. Lots of eggs (try for organic). Organic milk, but not raw. I’m pretty lenient. And you know how I feel about processed foods- you’ve been inside my crazy pantry.

Perhaps one day when I have more mojo about it, I’ll be a better person and make better choices. Til then, it’s about calories and keeping myself sane.

I’m with you on the cheetos, and the filet-o-fish. I’ve never experienced long john silvers though.

So we are at like 132 to 1 with music being our one difference. I have not clue on the Ezekiel bread. Brent and I were just looking for recipes and none of them looked “right”. If you find one that’s not too difficult let me know. If I’m too lazy to bake cookies you can imagine my motivation to bake bread. 😉

That wouldn’t be me. I’ll like Long John Silver’s to the day I die. I just thank God there is not one in my town. 😉

I love reading your ideals vs. your reality. I eat pretty close to my ideals but I have no option not to…if I don’t I get horrible stomach aches and I definitely don’t want to experience those for a few minutes of food bliss.

I don’t eat fast food anymore mostly because it doesn’t appeal to me. But I do crave a Subway sandwich here and there and if I could eat the gluten I would certainly go indulge in one!

Cheetos, Arabian horses, and zero cellulite appeal to me too. Let me know if you find a way to indulge in all three with zero consequences.

Oh and I don’t follow a strict veg diet like no eggs or dairy. I just do what I can and sometimes it’s not status quo.
