Why Grapefruit?

Hello, my name is Cassie and I have hated grapefruit for all of my 30 something years on this planet.  Even more than I hate actual grapefruit, I hate grapefruit juice and anything that smells like grapefruit.  I don't understand why someone would want to wash their face in the morning with grapefruit scented face wash.  You'd have to smell it on yourself all day!  Gross!  Actual grapefruit smells like grapefruit too (hello captain obvious), which only adds to my dislike.

That said, I'm sitting here at my desk at work eating a grapefruit.  Sort of.  (The "sort of" part is that it's really difficult to eat a grapefruit with plastic utensils and I'm more mangling it than I am eating it, but that's a problem for another day).  Also, it's covered in Splenda, so I can't taste the grossness as much.  But every journey has to start somewhere, right?

And my journey towards enjoying grapefruit begins here.  With Splenda and a plastic spoon and knife (the fork was really useless).

Of course this isn't just about grapefruit.  This is about changing my life.  But grapefruit is a little less overwhelming.  So for this week, it's grapefruit.

**Disclaimer: I am not doing some crazy grapefruit diet.  Learning to like grapefruit is just one step in the journey I'm starting today.  And choosing to eat this grapefruit that I brought from home instead of a delicious cinnamon crumble bagel at work this morning was a pretty big first step.

TTFN,
