One of the best ways to lose weight is to bring home some boxes, and get rid of all the unhealthy stuff in your home. I bet you have some stashes of things that are just creating some real damage for you! Halloween candy, cookies you had to bake for the school fundraiser, those marshmallows for the fire, and that emergency ice cream pint in the freezer.
What is that doing in there? Are you crazy? I know you have the strength in you to find your new healthy lifestyle, let's find it!
First, you can really toss all of that food out. It is ok. I promise the world will not end. But, if you are really not sure that is the best option, get all the food that does not need the fridge in your box, and take it somewhere. The homeless shelter down the street from work would be very grateful. And, while you are at it, you can sign up for a volunteer time on Thanksgiving to bring your new world into the brave open world. You are really going places!
Or, take it to a food drive at your church, the women's shelter, your local YMCA, or a youth hostel. If you live in the country, drop it off at your local clothing store in gift bags, where everyone can take a can or bag of chips home.
It is kind of sad that you are passing on all of that corn syrup and sugar, but you are doing it for a good reason. And, if you have time, put a list of healthy food options in each bag, and why you are doing it.
Food should come from the garden, not from the store. We have been given a gift of just having to go to the store for our food, but what that has done is made us all very unhealthy. We need to get back to the one ingredient items, and find ourselves there soon. Your health depends on it!
