You may not like this challenge so much but, heck, you’re GOING to do it anyway! 

This is a 2 part challenge….

Part 1

We need you to GIVE AWAY ALL YOUR JUNK FOOD to a food bank, the next door neighbour, your grandma….whoever you choose, you’re happily going to give it away.

It’s time to do some Winter Cleaning in your cupboards 🙂

The following are some lame excuses…

1.  I have kids, I have a husband, a boyfriend….

uh-huh.  And they NEED to eat junk food right?   (wrong..)

I don’t know about you but when I was a kid most Friday’s and/or Saturday’s (if I was lucky)  I was allowed a bowl of chips and some pop.     If I was really lucky, I might be allowed another bowl of chips through the week as a very very special treat.  For desserts, I was often given chopped banana in milk, applesauce, or maybe even 2 oreo cookies if they happened to be on sale and again, if we were lucky enough.  Strangely enough, I was fine with that.  These days, cupboards are OVERFLOWING with junk food.  PURGE baby PURGE  the less junk you have surrounding you, the less likely you are to eat it!

2.  I have a hard time parting with my Mr. Noodles because it’s just so EASY (sub this with other instant crap you have in your cupboards) 

HELLO!!  How hard is it to put water and whole wheat/rice pasta into a pot, add some REAL spices and make a real noodle dish?  Ya, that’s what I thought….

3.  I just can’t THROW OUT food!! 

You’re not.  You’re giving it to someone that needs it more than you do.  PLUS, you’re changing your life, one step at a time.  This is a big step but, it is ABSOLUTELY necessary if you are going to succeed in your journey to health and wellness.

Any other excuses out there?  Throw them my way please and I’m sure I can help you overcome your excuse.

FEEL GOOD about doing this!!  KNOW that you’re helping someone out, including yourself, your kids, your boyfriend, your husband! 

Part 2

Refrain from consuming canned goods

Exceptions are legumes (aka beans like chick peas, kidney beans, lentils), canned tuna packed in water

So, you may as well pack up the canned stuff and donate that to the food bank as well!! 

I get that I may be upping the ante here but, you NEED to do both of these steps in order to see results!!

Don’t forget!  Have fun making room for healthy variations to your unhealthy junk food (this is where the FUN really begins!!)  Stay tuned this week for ideas for healthier variations to your junk food:-)
