Temptations

When I go to the grocery store I am thankful for more choices and the ability to now find just about ANYTHING that I am looking for. Since moving back to the U.S I have found it so hard to not give into temptations.

There are huge aisles consisting of candy, chips, cookies, cake mixes, icing in a can, etc. The bakery section has me drooling over the donuts (jelly, glazed, powered sugared, bear paws), coffee cake, strudels, and ice cream cakes. I learned to live without most of this for almost 3 years. So as hard as it is to just keep walking and head to the fresh fruit and vegetables.....I am really trying to help our family continue to eat fresh and healthy. The freshness of the foods in Holland is one thing I will miss. It seemed like we were able to eat very healthy without even trying, while in the U.S I find it takes me hours in the store trying to read and analyze what it is I'm actually buying.

But every once in awhile you have to give in just a little.....
