I admit, I'm a picky eater!

I don't know if you are a picky eater - but I am.  At the drop of a hat I can start naming off what I don't like.  However, if you ask me what I do like I ramble off the most unhealthy food possible.  With the changes I am trying to implement, you have to be the opposite of picky.  Sometimes you have to eat what you aren't familiar with or find a way to make what you don't like yummy.

One of my biggest struggles is with figuring out what I want for lunch.  Since I work at home I have the great luxury of being able to cook anything out of the kitchen.  The problem is I never know what to do.  So the answer is get inventive.  Yesterday, I approached the refrigerator and had the same dilemma.  However, this was one fight I was going to win.  After looking through what I had going on, I settled on re-purposing some leftovers from a couple nights before.  My dad had made yummy, cheesey, saucey enchiladas.  However, I decided to measure out some meat, cheese and was pretty generous with some chopped up veggies and made myself a filling and delicious meal of tacos!  All of the below picture was under 400 calories!


So now instead of tackling making lunch as something I don't want to do - I see it as an opportunity to do something different, push myself to make something yummy and healthy.  I know that when I take a look at the refrigerator today at lunch time I won't see an obstacle, but a chance for some healthy food fun.
