1.) The price of healthy food.
I know I'm not the only person to say this, but damn healthy food is expensive. That's ridiculous. I won't even tell you my grocery bill from doing my first week of Paleo shopping. I'm not gonna lie, I told my husband "I'd rather be fat and roll around in my money." (obviously I would rather not be fat, calm down)
It's sad that you can charge so much to eat the healthy stuff. How is that okay? No wonder we are all obese. A half gallon of ice cream is $4... same as a dozen of organic eggs. Tell me how that works. So I'll tell you the truth, I understand why people just buy the cheaper easier stuff. I don't blame you one bit.
Unfortunately, if I don't start eating the expensive, healthy stuff, I'll be on the next season of 'My 600-Pound Life'. I obviously can't handle my share of the cheap stuff.

2.) How uncomfortable I was shopping for the healthy stuff.
Here's the thing, I was a "take that Name Brand Lasagna out of the fridge and throw that delicious crap in the oven and talk to me in an hour" kinda girl. I, of course, have been in the produce section before. I just, have never been in it to buy something other than some onions or bananas. I was overwhelmed and actually felt tears in my throat when I was trying to find all these new items (persimmon? fennel? WTF. Gimme a picture or something.) I, then, felt so embarrassed when I had to ask where stuff was. I felt fat and out of place. Like, if I would venture out of a fast food burger once in a while I would know where this crap is. Does that make sense? DO YA FEEL ME, Y'ALL?
Anyways, I just wanted to share those two things with you guys and let you know you're not alone if you feel this way too.
On the plus side, I am so excited to blog and tell you how my first week went! (Weigh in on Tuesday!)
