I can't really say that this was my New Years resolution, because it was pretty far past New Years when I made it, but I've decided to try to eat healthier. I was looking at my main source of food consumption and discovered that junk food played a pretty large part in it.
Side tangent: Did you know that in Spanish, they say la comida basura for junk food, which literally translated means "trash food." Kind of fitting, don't you think?
Back to the topic now. So I've decided that I would try to eat food that's healthier and it's harder than I thought. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those picky eaters that actually like about 5 things total that can be found in the healthy prart of the food pyramid. But it's still annoying to grab the waterbottle from the fridge instead of the much more delicious-looking can of Mountain Dew. It was also a slight struggle to only take one slice of the extra cheesey, extra greasy pizza we had the other night rather than my usual two.
And then, there is the greatest sacrifice so far. I have been eating regular Cherrios (which are still delicious) rather than the ever-favorite Lucky Charms.
I'm not sure how long this little health stint will last, but hopefully longer than most New Years resloutions.

Junk food sucks. I suggest you try getting your parent(s) (or yourself) to get fresh (as fresh as possible) fruits + vegetables and cook them somehow. Fresh food tastes way better than junk food, is better, and soon enough you'll probably dislike the junk food.
Oh don't worry, junk food isn't my entire diet by any means. I've always been a huge fan of fresh fruits and veggies(raw and cooked). It's just that it seems so much easier sometimes to pop a hot-pocket in the microwave for lunch rather than actually making something with some sort of nutritional value.
