Today is my birthday! That means I get to have BIRTHDAY CAKE! Ever since I can remember I’ve requested the same cake for my birthday – angel food cake. As a kid I didn’t care that it was fat free and a low calorie dessert. I just liked its name and loved how it tasted.

Can’t live without your daily mocha latte? Order it with skim, soy or almond milk to reduce calories; ask for half the normal amount of the regular chocolate syrup instead of going for the sugar free stuff that doesn’t taste as good; and skip the whipped cream on top.

The people from the Eat This Not That series of books have compiled a list of the 10 worst sandwiches in America(only 10?). When they say the word “worst” they are not referring to how they taste because there’s some really good tasting sandwiches on their “hit list.”

Special K has added to their arsenal of products with strawberry and blueberry fruit crisps. They’re shaped like a cereal bar but have a crispy outer shell and fruity filling that’s similar to a pop tart. On the plus side; each foil wrapped packet of 2 crisps is 100 calories – an okay calorie count for a snack or for a light dessert.

Know anybody who can’t eat a bite when they are stressed? Unfortunately that’s not me. Food is my emotional crutch even when my stomach is rebelling. Yesterday I got sick from something I ate (won’t gross you out with the details but it wasn’t pretty) and even though my stomach was in no shape to take in any food I wanted to eat anyway.

I used to be one of those people that would order a salad for my meal whenever I went out, thinking that it was always the healthiest choice on the menu. Then I got educated and found out a salad can be one of the highest calorie and fat items on the entire menu and that I would have consumed less calories by ordering a steak or a burger (with potatoes!).

It’s been a month since I started getting acupuncture to help with my headaches and with my food cravings. I haven’t noticed any change for the better in the past week, but that might be due to the extreme stress I’ve been under (the big “C” for a family member). I feel like everything in my life is out of whack so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that it feels like the acupuncture hasn’t done anything this week.
