That’s right, I really don’t like gravy.

I’m a healthy eater. I eat at least three servings of veggies and two servings of fruit almost every day and avoid things that are considered “bad.” I don’t eat very much fast food. If I go to a fast food joint, I’ll typically order a salad or a veggie burger.

Caleb claims my dislike/avoidance of gravy, mayonnaise, any white or cream based sauces, salad dressing, sour cream, and french fries is due to their unhealthiness. I’ll agree that I almost always go with the healthier option but I also like these healthier options. Some times I’m motivated by the calorie content of an item and sometimes I just prefer not to eat certain things. For example, I really don’t like gravy, not a fan of plain mashed potatoes, don’t like mayonnaise - you can ask my mom if you’d like, I don’t think I’ve ever been an eater of this items. I specifically remember cleaning the mayonnaise off the Chicken Little sandwiches we used to get from KFC when I was a kid; I also remember not eating the gravy from KFC. I’ve tried biscuits and gravy and I don’t like ‘em. I also don’t drink pop, don’t eat potato chips often, I typically don’t eat candy, and I avoid caffeine at all costs (unless it’s before a road race).

Sure I forgo tasty “bad” foods but I typically like the choices I make. Plus, I prefer to “save” my calories for something more worthwhile — strawberry shortcake, a homemade chocolate chip cookie, ice cream, a rice crispy treat, etc.

Maybe I’m too conscious, but I’ve got to keep my girlish figure.

Apparently, one of Caleb’s goals is to get me to eat more unhealthy foods…I wonder if he’ll have any luck.
