And I LIKE canned peaches. But I feel like I 'shouldn't' like canned peaches, that I should only want fresh, and organic if possible, peaches. Why canned anything? There is a whole produce section of fresh things right over there. And what are you going to have with those canned peaches? Cottage cheese? Well that's just fat! (even though I buy low or no fat). Sometimes I can't even reach for what I want.

Thanks for this. I have to laugh with you!
You know?
I was raised by a very restrictive aunt---health nut!
I have a critical voice inside my head, too.
the antidote to that?
"Billi, what do you think? Not what they think!"
anyway, I was selecting lettuce today and I had to almost say to myself, "Billi, you are buying this because you want to eat better. Bruce bought this the other night. It's okay."
You bring up a great point---why do we have to JUSTIFY?
None of anyone's business!
thanks,
Billi
