A Simple Healthy Eating Tip

The Tip: choose the healthy foods you WILL eat, not the healthy foods you SHOULD eat.
I've been trying to improve my diet, both for my own health, and so I can be a better role-model for Baby Girl. I tried buying the fresh fruits and veggies that were most appealing at the store each week, and had mixed success. We've had tasty steamed asparagus, and we've fed broccoli to the bunny (healthy for the bunny, though). There have been days when I ate an apple in my lunch at work, and days when I brought the same apple in again in hopes I would eat it this time.
Finally, I realized that there are certain healthy foods that I eat more readily and reliably than others, and healthy as it is to "eat a rainbow" and get lots of variation in your fruits and vegetables, for me it isn't currently an issue of eating this fruit vs. that one, but of dishing up this fruit which I will eat, vs. that one which I only might. Therefore, I have turned my larger goal of "eat a plentiful variety of fruits and veggies" to the two, more easily achieved goals of "get in the habit of eating more fruits and veggies", and then "get more variety in my fruits and veggies." Now my standard sack lunch has baby carrots and guacamole and apple sauce; all healthy foods that I like to eat (and bonus: they say having a little fat- such as in non-reduced fat dressings or in guacamole- with your veggies can help you absorb the nutrients). Would it be healthier to switch off each day's fruit and alternate the colors of my veggie? Sure, if I would always eat them, but right now I'm cultivating the habit of eating those things rather than crackers or cookies or the like, so I'm ok with it.
