Jennifer's Cheese Sandwich

So I decided this evening that I wanted a cheese sandwich. Why, I don't know, but I went to the grocery store last night and bought a 7 grain bread that I hadn't yet tried. So I went into the kitchen to make a bread, cheese and light Miracle Whip sandwich. But, HORROR of HORRORS! Miracle Whip Light has HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP in it!!! Are you asking yourself the same question I'm asking myself right now? Why on earth would Light Miracle Whip have high fructose corn syrup in it? Especially the LIGHT one? Who puts syrup on a sandwich unless it's made of pancakes or has peanut butter in it? LOL Well, that's it. I suppose Light Miracle Whip is now on the list of eliminated foods. I'm taking it off of my MySpace friends, ignoring it on Yahoo Messenger and hiding my caller id when I prank call its house.

(insert good transition between paragraphs here cuz I was never really good at that)

Technically, we’re only on like day 3 of ‘eliminating bad foods’ (not a diet, a lifestyle) and I feel pretty good so far. I haven’t had any real cravings for any junk or fast food. I guess it’s really true that when you eat less crap, you crave less crap. At this point, it’s been fairly easy to ask myself “Why would I want to put majorly chemically altered food into my body?” than to say “WHY oh WHY can’t I have Krispy Kreme”. For someone who’s spent most of her adult life building a cocoon of fat in which to hide her emotional sensitivities, 3 days of no real chocolate and no fast food is a major accomplishment. More MAJOR accomplishments to come . . .
