Fruit

I don’t know about other people but for most of my life I’ve had a bit of an issue with fruit – I see other people eating it all the time but it just don’t cut the mustard for me.

I know that you are meant to eat like a zillion pieces of fruit a day but I just don’t know if I can do it. I was ok previously because I didn’t mind bananas but at the moment buying a banana is like making a major life decision… will I fill the car up with overpriced petrol this week or will I buy a banana. Due to my fruit issues we have been buying bananas, just not as many as previously.

I was quite happy for awhile chowing down on tinned fruit till I read that while it’s better than a chocolate bar or something tinned fruit isn’t a substitute for fresh fruit – why did I have to go and read that.

Anyway, this has led me to my new challenge, the eating fruit challenge, my aim is to start easy and eat a fresh piece of fruit everyday. Yep, you might sit back in your seat and gasp at my daring new challenge but believe me this one might be tuff. I am now in day two. My fruit eating experiences so far have included:
Ä Monday, a great day to start any challenge as you know for sure that the rest of the day is going to be shit anyway, I ate a banana, thought I should start off easy.
Ä Tuesday (today) I ate an apple, first thing I ate all day, I even ate it as I was walking to work – must be a total double whammy of health benefits!

Who knows what tomorrow might bring, maybe even a pear – who can tell… Anyway, please send me your best wishes as I continue on my arduous journey… So long!

hmmm, interesting.I think I'm in the same boat as far as the dislike of fruit is concerned. All I can say is good luck. Also I would like to recommend a fruit called "mangotine" or something like that. I tried it a few weeks back, and it was pretty damn good. Though a little tricky to eat on the way to work. Kinda fiddly to be walking and eating at the same time. Anyhow, best of luck with your fruit a day challenge.
