You'll Find You Actually Like Healthy Snacks

This afternoon I was eating some strawberries and I really enjoyed them. But it got me thinking. Where did I ever get the idea that a treat was a donut or piece of cake. Don't get me wrong I still like them and on occassion have one. But I've always liked fruit and fresh veggies. So, why did I ever trade them in for cakes and cookies? Maybe it's our culture. Maybe it's because growing up poor I got sugary treats so rarely that I equated them with personal success. It really doesn't matter why. Somehow, I turned my back on some of my favorite foods.
I'm discovering that watching my diet is not a matter of choosing between something good tasting and something healthy. It's simply choosing something good tasting which is also healthy, like the grapes I had at lunch full of vitamin C and antioxidants (whatever they are) and generally low in calories. So, the next time you reach for a Twinkie, ask yourself if there isn't something you like equally well that is better for you. I suspect the answer will be yes.
