I’ve been trying to take a closer look at what I eat. I’ve not been gaining weight, but now that I’m back at the gym, I’ve decided to try to be a bit better about what I’m putting in my body. Why bother to workout if I’m just going to fuel my body with junk?
One thing I’ve noticed is that I much less likely to make impulse purchases at the grocery store. Yesterday, after waiting nearly two and a half hours to vote, I went to the grocery store to buy some soup for lunch. Naturally, I was starving, which is the worst time to go to the grocery store. I found myself looking at ice cream and cookies at one point, and I kept looking at the price and the calories, and thinking that I didn’t need the calories and I didn’t need to spend the money. Combined, those two reasons were enough for me to keep my money in my wallet and keep me eating healthy.
But really, I just need to not go to the grocery store while I’m hungry. It’s better for everyone involved.
I’m the opposite, I never go to the grocery store when I’m hungry because I make bad food decisions, and buy too much junk. Plus I’m unbearably irritable when I’m hungry, so it’s better for everyone involved if I avoid getting to the point of hunger to begin with!
Yeah – hitting the grocery store when I’m hungry always results in spending way too much at the very least. I can sometimes avoid getting junk but will buy quite a bit more than I need just because I am hungry.
The other trap that I have to keep an eye out for is shopping with kids; that tends to drive the bill up as well.
If I can go shopping after a meal with no kids I tend to shop better.
Hi Megan,
I’m emailing you in regards to a followup email I sent you a month ago in response to a partnership, have you had a chance to think about it?
If you have any questions or would more information, please advise me and we can go from there.
Kind Regards,
Andrew Knight
