I usually have a substantial mini-meal before my Wednesday bowling league. I have half a sandwich left over from my lunch. The roast beef was too salty when I ate the other half earlier in the day.

Eating Healthy
If you are overweight and unhappy, the solution is not in another diet book or celebrity trainer. If you find yourself always back at the same place every few years (or maybe months), you need to figure out what is holding you back. Weight control starts in your mind. You are at exactly where you need to be. You cannot move pass GO unless you figure out why you are holding on to your weight.

If we only ate when we are hungry and only enough food to ease our hunger, then chances are that we will not have a weight problem. If only it was that easy!

Sometimes I feel like the word moderation is thrown into the healthy eating arena to placate us into believing that it is ok to have cake once a week. But mostly I believe the main reason is to prevent a backlash from processed food manufacturers.

I am turning 31 this weekend. Birthdays are always an exciting time for me. All the free lunches and free dinners because people want to treat you.

My friend’s little girl offered me a fruit roll-up when our families went camping last weekend. It has been over a decade since I had a fruit roll-up, but I have fond memories of my younger brother and I taking turns whining at the grocery store until our mother tossed a box into the cart. Behind her back, barely able to conceal our grins, we winked at each other.
I did not care about the nutrition of my snacks when I was a little girl. But last week I felt compel to look at the nutrition labeling on the fruit roll-up box.

My friend, Ally, recently came over fuming about snack time at school. After three days of her son bringing home the nutritious snacks that she carefully packs for him, she called the teacher. Instead of eating the nutritious snacks, her son eats the chips and cookies that the teacher provides for the students without a snack. What 8 year old wants string cheese or fruit pieces when there are Goldfish and Doritos? Especially when junk food banned from the home?
