So tomorrow Brittany and I are starting the No Junk Food Challenge. This one should be interesting…here’s what it entails, along with my notes on each thing:
No chocolate (going to be hard for me)
No candy (regular candy will be easier, the chocolate part sucks…does gum count as candy)
No biscuits or cookies (not a big deal, don’t eat a lot of them)
No cake, donuts, or muffins (shouldn’t be too hard)
No pastries (don’t really eat them, so not a big deal)
No white bread (going to have to find different bagels I think)
No chips (this won’t hurt a lot but will stink at cookouts)
No fast food (no big deal, I haven’t eaten it a lot recently anyway)
No nutella or peanut butter (again, not a big deal. I don’t eat a lot of it)
No ice cream (I LOVE ice cream! This one is going to be hard for me)
The only thing not on the list is soda and though I don’t drink regular soda, diet and zero soda’s are just as bad for you. Do I cut those out? That might be harder for me than ice cream or chocolate…I might try but if I succumb to the lure of yummy, yummy soda, I can’t be looked down upon as it is not on the list. 
I don’t understand how peanut butter fits in here….I guess I just really like it and love a peanut butter half sandwich for breakfast. We use the reduced fat. On the soda note, I would bet if you guys cut out all carbonated waters that are not just straight water and cut out soda, you could eat more things on this list. I love me some fountain soda and it would be really hard to give up but honestly, most nutritionists would argue it’s one of the biggest things that hinder weight loss.
I’m not sure where peanut butter really fits in to it either but thankfully I’m not a huge peanut butter person. I can take it or not. No big deal. The soda thing is hard, as I’ve already had one today and am glad that is not listed as a definite no-no. Oh well. Still working. It’s going to get expensive if they eat whole bags of fruit in one sitting like they do…
