Growing up my mom didn’t have a mother to teach her how to take care of herself. I am talking about both femininity and eating/living healthy. Since she had no one to teach her, she couldn’t teach me. When I was little, a normal meal was hamburger helper. It makes me sick to even think about it now. My point is that I don’t know how to eat healthy or cook healthy. I know your supposed to eat plenty of fruits & vegetables. That’s all anyone ever tells me. But what I’m wanting to know is what kind of fruits and vegetables? How much is enough? How do I cook/prepare them? How do I store them properly. What are healthy recipes? Where do I find them on the internet? All i know how to cook is Chicken as far as meat goes. Would love to learn how to make my husband a pork chop or a steak or whatever else is out there. I know this is long & I’m asking a lot, but I am desperate for help. My husband & I are both overweight mainly b/c we get tired of eating the same things all the time because I/we don’t know how to cook a whole lot of things so we have gotten to where we eat out A LOT! When I go to the grocery store i look at all the fruit & veggies and its like I’m lost. I have no idea what I’m looking for & if I get something it usually goes to waste b/c i don’t know what to do with it or how to cook it. So i usually end up getting junk food, microwaveable lunches, sandwich stuff & cereal for us to eat. If you open my pantry & fridge/freezer right now that is what you will find. If you have gotten this far, thank you so much for your help. I am really wanting to make a change in our lives & especially when we have kids. I don’t want them to go through weight issues and things like I have. I want to start them out healthy so they end up healthy. In order for me to do that though, I have to learn how to be healthy. I am open to any & all suggestions. I’m very grateful to you! BTW if you need to know, my husband & I are both 23, got married at 19, & have been together since we were 15. So pretty much 9yrs of eating out all the time. I’m so tired of it & ready for a change. Thanks so much!
