My Addictions

Well in the years that I've been with my hubby, I've noticed that my food addictions have changed. Not from bad to worse, but bad to good. Cuz let me tell you, ya girl was a dayum "crackhead". That's what my hubby and I call foods with trans fat, high fructose corn syrup, white processed sugars, white flour, etc, etc and on and on. Let me tell you, my azz was ADDICTED. Not to the foods themselves, but to the crap that's put into the food. So upon us REALLY being together, we had a few food fights about what was gonna be brought into the house. And he's admitted that he even had to check himself on his "sugar juice" addictions.

So 4 babies and 7 years later (yeah it takes a minute to undo damage) I can happily say that I have healthy addictions that don't involve "crackish" foods. Cuz really, there are plenty of foods that's just as addictive as crack cocaine, if not more so. Sounds crazy huh? Don't believe me? Take all the "white" sugar foods (meaning processed) and white table sugar out of your diet for 7 days. And I mean all. Use sweet substitutes like Agave Nectar, unprocessed Raw Sugar and make sure products you buy don't have any processed sugars such as high fructose corn syrup or corn syrup. And see if after 7 days ya azz ain't itching for a fix. That's some real sh*t.

Okay so since I know my azz does struggle from time to time about wanting to "crack out" on some sugary sh*t (and I don't mean just sweet stuff, I'm talking bread, packaged goods ,etc) I avoid stuff that I'll inhale in 2 seconds and try to focus on stuff that's satisfying and healthy. And of course since my azz like to share, I thought I'd share my ABSOLUTE must haves in my frig and in my pantry - or I am NOT happy.

First I totally LOVE this drink. I can drink this all day long. It's great in the morning or afternoon when I don't want anything heavy or too "mealish" feeling on my tummy. I also love the hazel nut flavor. Sh*t who am I kidding, you really can't go wrong with ANY of their drinks. I just happen to prefer the coffee, milky type drinks. YUM!

Second, I've now turned into some kinda granola head (thanks to my mother). I'm now a fruit n' nut addict. My life is simply NOT right if I don't have my dayum granola. *shakin head* I mean it's really not. I'm so serious. I eat that sh*t like candy. *chuckle to self* I will get down with some banana nut too cuz the fruit n nut goes real fast.

Last, I avoided this drink for YEARS like the dayum plague. But one late night when I was particularly thirsty and didn't want to go down stairs to get water (yes I'm lazy) and truthfully my azz didn't want no water. I, out of desperation and thirst, sipped some of my hunny's kombucha tea. Well I actually gulped that sh*t down and you know what? It was HELLA good (that's Cali speak) *chuckle* He had divine grape and that sh*t was heavenly. Pared with the fact my azz was truly thirsty. So of course my flavor is Strawberry Serenity. It's something about red that just gets to me. *throaty laugh* LOL.

Of course now, these 4 items are my absolute MUST HAVES on my grocery, store run, you gotta go to the store now, list. So there you have it. The truth is out, ya girl is addicted to healthy sh*t. Ain't that something. LOL

That's All *glenn close, devil wears prada voice*
