Aristotle Assignment

Over break I have decided to keep up with being healthy. I realized that being heart healthy has kind of become apart of me. Without thinking about I completely ignored the cabinet with the potato chips and cookies; I went straight to the healthy food, which is limited in my household. My mom is someone who likes to be healthy, but she sees it as fat free chips and reduced fat snack foods. My step-dad enjoys eating frozen pizza all by himself for lunch; as you can see these are two conflicting eating habits. You would think that since my mom eats healthier than my step-dad then there would be more healthy food in my household, but for some reason its very sparse. We have a lot of frozen food which doesn't always sound appealing and isn't always the best for you. I ended up talking to my mom about it and telling her that if she were to buy fruit and fresh veggies I would be more likely to snack on those instead of the oreos she buys for my step dad. She told me that she will try to do it and that if i really wanted to I could do the grocery shopping and get the healthy foods that I wanted. I then replied telling her I don't think Monty, my step-dad, and brother would enjoy that because I wouldn't get them any hot pockets, frozen pizzas, chips, or cookies. Monty then tells me I can do the healthy shopping and he would get the foods that he really wants. But anyway I am now going to have healthier foods to snack on, which is good since I work in an ice cream shop and that's not going to help my healthy habits. I need to be strong and keep up my good work.
