Old habits are difficult to break. You need new strategies for creating your food shopping list and navigating the grocery store aisles that are designed to attract you to pick up many unhealthy convenience foods. Make your list and stick to it!
If your accountability buddy lives near you, then a weekly food shopping trip could be a good bonding experience with someone with like goals.
The longer you enjoy eating healthy foods, the easier it is to imagine an invisible sign on unhealthy foods that says, “NOT MY FOOD”.
