Thoughts on Healthy Eating

Yesterday’s post about orthorexia nervosa got me thinking more about healthy eating, so I thought I would share some more about how we overhauled our diet. A few years ago, I rarely bought fresh produce because I would just forget about it and it would go bad. I lived alone, I worked two jobs, and I didn’t have the time or inclination to cook, so I gravitated towards foods that could be prepared in the microwave. I ate lots of frozen dinners and macaroni and cheese. Sometimes I even had cereal for dinner. A friend once remarked that whenever she came to visit, my fridge always contained salsa and pudding.
