I have had my 18 year old niece the past few days. Usually, we settle for the fast food joints, or possibly Perkins, to feed ourselves. Or rather I settle for that so as not to have to do extra cooking. She is kind of a picky eater and has very different eating habits from me so it makes homemade meals a bit more challenging. Well, this time around, I didn't settle. I still ate what I like to eat, and just made her whatever she likes to eat. Though I tried to push healthy food upon her, she had nothing of it and munched on processed chicken strips (yes, from my freezer) and potato chips (I bought them for her specifically).
She left behind her potato chips and Starburst candy, and they are residing in my cupboard until she returns to finish them off. I vow not to have any of it even though it is sitting in my cupboard tempting me. Actually, I am not really tempted......yet. This will be a nice test of my will power. I think, though, that my healthy eating choices are getting more and more ingrained into the core of me that it won't be a huge challenge.
