It can be a challenge when the whole household isn't eating the same way. That is not a dig at Ryan. She doesn't face the same health things as you. I find that is my constant struggle. I face different health challenges than DH or the kids. I won't forbid any foods in the house, but when i am cooking, I make what is healthiest for me, and invite all to enjoy. Even DH eats better when left to his own devices. Do I still find bags of oreos in the cupboard, yup. But it happens less and less. <BR/>How was the trip?franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257182891527899316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2126763794370883958.post-71025647620356063012008-04-29T21:31:00.000-07:002008-04-29T21:31:00.000-07:00Well, I'm a vegetarian who won't even feed her cat...Well, I'm a vegetarian who won't even feed her cat mystery meat byproducts, so I can't imagine a human eating that crap (unless during a famine). I will readily admit that my diet sometimes contains too much "natural junk food," but I figure brownies I baked in my own kitchen with organic butter, fair trade cocoa, truly free-range, organic eggs, etc. aren't the worst thing I could be eating, so I don't feel terribly guilty when I indulge. One of my soapboxes is the need for a good, whole, organic, local-if-you-can-get-it food supply. I live in an apartment, but I have a small deck/balcony and have grown my own lettuces and herbs for years (and sometimes tomatoes). I have wild fantasies about the day I'll be able to have a real garden.<BR/><BR/>On another note, perhaps you and Ryan can work out a deal of sorts. My partner and I came to an amicable pact when we were living together (we're now in separate states due to school) that the house is strictly vegetarian (except the cats, of course), but he could eat whatever he wanted elsewhere. Admittedly, he does eat a largely vegetarian diet on his own, though, so it wasn't a hard sell, but you could try it.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091275490613600640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2126763794370883958.post-14232663709890211672008-04-29T17:53:00.000-07:002008-04-29T17:53:00.000-07:00I refuse to be a trouble-maker, so I'm not going t...I refuse to be a trouble-maker, so I'm not going to say this openly in your blog:<BR/><BR/>I predict in a year's time Ryan will be like the reformed alcoholic or reformed cigarette-smoker.

I have recently discovered the importance of eating more protein, now that I'm 45 and going through perimenopause. I am more alert, weigh slightly less (didn't really need to lose weight), and don't get ravenously hungry at 9:00 a.m. (even whole grain oatmeal doesn't keep me satisfied as long as two eggs on whole grain bread). <BR/>Also, I am a corgi owner/lover...
