My boyfriend and his mother are serial dieters; and have just announced that yet again they are going to Weight Watchers. This will be their umpteenth time there as they can’t stick to it.

Although I had little faith in them I had to show my support, and said that I would get rid of all their cookie, candy and the like. Now I suffer from being underweight so a heap of it went home with me, and I still threw stacks away. No wonder they needed to go to Weight Watchers!

I really want them to succeed so offered to help them decide on what they were going to buy to have as snacks. I knew my boyfriend would be open to any suggestions but his mother is notoriously picky, but without any problems or arguments they both happily agreed to have fruit.

Fruit tastes great and is so good for you. Junk food is convenient and readily available and even at work there are vending machines full of the stuff. Well keep your money in your purse and take a banana or apple with you for those snacks.

To make sure that you always take fruit with you when you go out, keep a bowl by the door so you can’t get out without seeing it.

It’s always a worry that food might spoil before you get it eaten. There are two things you can do here; either buy it in smaller quantities or do what I do, always keep in frozen fruit juice and dried and frozen fruits.

As there are so many varieties of fruit and different ways to eat it that there should never come a time when you are bored with it. Do as my boyfriend and his mother did, ditch the candy bars for fruits.

Ditching your candy for fruit will be tough at first, but you’ll get there. It’s just like breaking any bad habit, except this one will have a great effect on your health.
