Positive+Negative=Neutral????

Okay so a few things floating around in my head. I will start with the positive.

Positive: The mirrors in my bathroom at my apartment are ULTRA umm sensitive? showy? THEY SHOW EVERY DAMN LINE AND BUMP YOU COULD POSSIBLY FIND. That's what i was getting at. Anyways...when i was still battling my eating habits when i first moved in and up until about December, i was horrified at the sight of my umm saddle bag area shall we? It just grossed me out...because i KNEW that it wasn't like that before i started my little binge fest that lasted all too many months. I could just see a lot more cellulite then i ever wanted to. WELL, i am happy to report that lately..and tonight i checked very well....the cellulite has almost DISAPPEARED..like it is seriously not really there anymore. I couldn't believe it. THAT was my proof that this is REALLY paying off. SCREW the scale...SCREW my body fat percentage...in the end...i KNOW i am looking leaner, and i KNOW that my leg/butt area is looking SERIOUSLY BETTER. I am so excited.

OKAY...so here is the not-so-negative-more-like-a-question

This question is regarding FRUIT.

Okay I know everyone says "hey at least its fruit and not cookies" I even say that to myself....BUT...lately, i feel like it is seriously getting out of control.

I am eating like 10-11 apples A DAY. That is a ton of sugar and i know it is natural sugar, but still. I need to trade half of those in for more veggies or more complex carbs. This is going to be very difficult for me because i have recently become so used to my eating style....which has been only clean foods and im actually starting to love and prefer it. It's awesome. I don't want to eat anything other then clean foods that make me feel good. :)

But anyways, what are your thoughts on my ridiculous apple eating...I know it is a better alternative to cake, cookies, etc....but it isn't ideal and i am trying to find ways to minimize the fruit intake. I of course want to keep eating fruits, just not as much...suggestions?!

Thanks for listening guys! I know i sound really dumb sometimes, but im a nerdy lil dumb dumb. And i love it! :)

What if every time you had an apple, you had to add protein with it? I mean, I know that would cut me down since the protein is so filling. We love apples w/ natural peanut butter in our house, and it is a very lasting snack. Good bang for the buck!

Wow, that is a lot of apples!! I never thought you could get too much of a good thing, but I guess if other food groups are being displaced then it might be a good idea to cut back a bit ;) I think I need to eat more apples. Sounds like you have really fine-tuned your clean eating!
