time to grow up yet?

Current mood: sugar crashed

When my sister and I lived together, our grocery cart often looked a bit...irresponsible. Cookies, ice cream, cheezy poofs, lots of candy and soda...(but not wine coolers. No one would ever let me buy wine coolers when the underage lil' sis was around, d*mn them!). Sometimes we'd be embarrassed and tell the clerk, "We have no parents..."

So, when exactly is that supposed to change? Are we supposed to just wake up one day and firmly resolve to add wheat germ and Metamucil to the grocery list? When does ramen stop being acceptable as a 2nd dinner option?

Sometimes I think I'm making progress. Lots of chicken in the freezer, more than one vegetable in the bin, containers of yogurt that I will actually eat, instead of just keeping in my fridge for show...And then, sometimes not. I try to eat bananas, but I don't really care for them. But they're easily transportable, and I don't get all that much potassium, so bananas it is. Somehow, though, they always seem to blacken before I get to them. Then I have to make banana bread! That's still healthy, right? A cup of sugar and a stick of butter are natural complements for bananas! Well, yesterday, I made the best. banana. bread. ever. How, you ask? I may or may not have dumped an entire bag of chocolate chips into the batter...

ummmmmmmmm.
