My-Dell

I know it's hard living at home and eating well. My family used to have a much more healthful diet when I was a kid. I was always the one in the lunch room with the nerdy mini-cooler lunch box and sandwiches on whole wheat, carrot sticks and nonfat milk while everyone else was living on fruit roll-ups and lunchables. Now we're about 50/50 with the healthy stuff and we all overeat.

I've found that as tempting as it is to save money and just eat what's here, in the end it's not the best way to go. I probably buy about half of my own food to supplement what my parents buy. adding healthful things of my own choice (so I know I'll eat them) like fruits & veggies, oatmeal, yogurt, etc. Bringing lunch to work makes a big difference too. Sorry, that wasn't meant to be preachy- I know you didn't ask for advice at all. That's just what I do. Food and nutrition (esp. social/behavioral/cultural aspects of diet) is one of my big interests.
