healthyhallelujah:

sometimes it truly baffles me how unhealthy some people can manage to eat on a regular basis.

I am the same way. My boyfriend and I started eating clean a few months ago and really haven’t looked back. Our two other roommates fill their cupboard with hamburger helpers, oreos, cocoa puffs, and go through an alarming amount of canola oil with everything they fry. Sometimes it makes me nauseous to think about, but most of the time it just makes me even more dedicated to eating clean.
