Eating Veggies First

Everything you read about being healthier says the same thing over and over.

EAT. MORE. VEGETABLES.

Truth is, I don't like most vegetables. I didn't grow up eating them that much so I never really "acquired" a taste for them. But they are so filling! And so good for you!

One of my July resolutions for my Happiness Project is to eat my veggies first at lunch. That's doable right? I've started blending spinach into my smoothies when I have those in the morning, but for now, lunch is my main focus. I've been eating my veggies first at lunch for about a week so far even though it's one of July's resolutions. It's easy and hard. I want to eat all the other yummy things I pack for lunch, but at the same time, I usually get SUPER full of veggies.

I read a book where a man has 2 servings of veggies with every meal before eating anything else. You can bet he's pretty darn healthy.

What do you think? Could you eat your veggies first at lunch? Do you LOVE veggies?
