Another episode of :: What's in the Shopping Cart?


I managed to get out the store without cakes, cookies, pies, and chips!! YAY ME!! :::baby steps::: If I eat before grocery shopping I don't end up with Little Debbie snacks in my cart. Fruits, veggies, lean meats, and whole grains. I am still a thick'n but my body thanks me for making healthier choices.
