I am eating a lot healthier now than I ever did. The reason is because my cholesterol number had crept up. I now read the ingredients on everything that I buy, something I never bothered doing before. I have had to cut out a lot of things I love (ice cream!) but the reduction in my cholesterol has been worth it. Neither hubby nor I ever ate much junk food but did enjoy a good steak or **ahem** big bowl of ice cream. I have given that all up but have to say that watching him eat those things is hard but I have to remind myself that good health is more important.
