I’m a big snacker. BIG snacker. When I try to diet, I have to work really hard to keep the bad food out of my house, or else I’ll eat it all in one sitting. The only solution for somebody who can’t resist eating a whole package of Oreos is to not buy Oreos, so I’m keeping myself honest by showing my food to the world.

Cabinet


Here’s my cabinet, where the majority of my food resides.  I’m a total carb lover, so I’m trying to train myself to snack on nuts instead of things like crackers.  The least healthy thing you’ll find on this shelf is some hot chocolate mix left over from a Christmas party.  (By the way, hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps makes a delicious holiday party drink.  Totally unhealthy, but really tasty to sugar addicts like me.)

Fruit Bowl


The fruit bowl sits out on the kitchen table where it’s easy to grab something if you’re in a rush.  We swiped the gigantic lemons from our neighbor’s tree… just one of the perks of living in Arizona!


Refrigerator


Let me introduce you to my secret love of cheese.  On the upper shelf, you’ll see a box of low-fat feta, my cheese of choice, as well as a few slices of swiss.  It’s easy to throw some romaine in a bowl with some feta, cucumber and olives and call it a greek salad!  The feta sticks to the lettuce so well that sometimes I don’t even use dressing.

Freezer


My frozen food is along the top shelf of the freezer… you know, the shelf that looks like somebody knew their food would be photographed for a blog.  If you’re wondering what the weird tupperware container is on top of the ice, that’s food for my roommate’s sugar glider, Rocky.  He eats a mixture of wheat germ and chicken baby food and some other stuff.

Tea


Last (but not least) a whole shelf devoted to tea and tea accessories. My roommate is English, and she got me hooked on tea.  My favorite is English Breakfast (the blue box) but Throat Coat is a lifesaver when I’ve been talking too much.

So… that’s it. Oh and if you have a blog about dieting, please link me in the comments because I’d love to see what everybody else is up to.

Bye until tomorrow!
