Hi everyone.,

Just arrived from my first trip to the supermarket since I decided to be healthy. And I'm feeling very proud with my shopping: so many vegetables and fruit almost seemed I was trying to buy a rainbow... And i didn't feel the slight interest when going through the pizza, pastry or the crisps areas.

I do have to admit I avoided the chocolate or ice cream aisles. Not sure I would resist :/

Does the desire go away some day or you guys just learn to live with it? :)

By the way, in the 12 w plan mentions using low fat hummus. Besides dipping vegetables in it, what do you use it for?

Best wishes to everyone

Well done, Change, that's brilliant! A shopping trolley of rainbow coloured, healthy food definitely looks nicer than the brown hues of junk food!

Our tastes change over time, which certainly makes those foods a lot less appealing, although some things will always be our achilles heel and I choose to avoid them completely, for that reason.

I'm afraid I'm not a lover of hummus and I don't eat low fat anything. I'd rather eat the vegetables with my meals :)

Keep up the great work! :)

I mix grated carrots with hummus and use it as a filling in a pitta as an alternative to a sandwich.

I have to avoid the crisp aisle since though occasionally I can go through it without giving in but usually I would give in- so I avoid it. My crisp intake has reduced and though I occasionally have crisps as part of my allowance but I cannot buy them too early since they are unlikely to last until the allocated day that I am supposed to have them!

Good for you buying all the healthy options!!!

My taste buds have totally changed since being with this forum. I still have chocolate now and again, as that was my biggest downfall, but i include it within my calories now. As for hummus i have never been a fan of.

Don't like it. It's just weird.

I quite like to spread Hummus on a Sesame Ryvita instead of a sandwich. Does that help? Just for variety 😉

I make Low fat hummus with courgette 😎 It's lovely 🙂

You can spread it on your sarni instead of low fat spread

If you are serious about losing weight and getting healthy then you have to be prepared to change. Once you accept that you can crack on 🙂
