Eating better and "starving" my husband (or so he claims)

I had an a-ha moment this week.  As each year creeps by and reminds me that I'm not a teenager anymore, I'm also reminded that I can't eat whatever I want, whenever I want.  There's nasty words like heartburn, cholesterol, carbs, blood sugar, and many more.  What's the first thing I do, when something happens to remind me?!  I get out the Diabetes cookbook to flip through for good recipes.  Yeah, that was dumb.  They don't have very many pictures and nothing sounds enticing.  Next, I go to Pinterest; thank you to the wonderful inventors of this app!!  I type in a few words and poof, I have a whole list of wonderful looking recipes to try and again my faith is restored that I can eat healthy without having to get rid of all the food in my pantry right now.  Yes, I will have to add a lot more fresh fruits and vegetables, but for the most part I can start right now.

Dave covering the homemade chili because he had picked out all the tomatoes and kidney beans.
This is why he tells everyone I "starve" him, because he is so picky I can't remember what he doesn't like anymore. 

My toddler may have to make some adjustments for this too and I'm sure my husband will continue telling people I'm "starving" him because I put tomatoes in recipes like chili or spaghetti sauce, but this is a good thing.  I will one day look back and be grateful I started thinking and eating more healthy and not focusing on all the desserts and goodies.  Oh don't think those will go away!!  I will have to put more moderation into it.

How can you not give her whatever she wants...yikes.
How am I going to do this? Some anxiety, a few panic attacks, a lot of hard work and a lot of breathing in, breathing out in order to stay on track.  :)  This will be worth it.  My future children will be so thankful and the main point....there will be future children one day!!
