Aloha, all. I can second Andrew's comments about eating healthy, and share some tips that might help with making it convenient -- probably the biggest reason many folks don't eat right. If you need quick snacks during the day because your job keeps you hopping, plan ahead when you're grocery shopping: pick up baby carrots or other veggies you like, and pair with things like salsa or hummus. Grab fresh fruit for when those sugar cravings strike. Mix a handful of nuts into a cup of yogurt. For breakfast trade the doughnut for a bowl of oatmeal mixed with fruit and nuts (my favorite is apples, cinnamon, and pecans). Make places like Fresh n' Easy or Trader Joe's your friend -- if you haven't shopped there, they have lots of healthy convenience foods that won't break your budget. I keep an insulated lunchbag in my desk each day with an assortment of healthy options (yogurt, fruit, veggies, homemade smoothies, etc.) and a couple of icepacks to keep it fresh. Once you change your eating habits for the better you'll find you probably don't even want to go back to the junk. :) Hang in there and keep up the great work!
