Eating Healthy can be Expensive, but that doesn't mean I'm spending anymore money. Ok, Let me enplane. It boils down to simple math, I'm eating less now so I'm spending less on food even though the food in question is more expensive. I'm also pretty sure that once I have trained myself to eat better I'll be able to cut back on the spending as well.
I figure its like having a baby, the first time your running around buying Huggies® and Loves® and by the second kid your buying cheap-o depot diapers from the family dollar. Right now I'm buying weight watrchers® branded foods but the second bastard child of the weight loss realm is bound to rear its ugly head and save me a couple of bucks in the long run.
