READ THE GOOD CARBS V. BAD CARBS ARTICLE BELOW THIS POST.
My other word to the healthwise-- always pack healthy snacks for the day. Eat all day throughout the day with planned purpose in your eating so you're not eating a bunch of sugar all day or just processed garbo or you're not getting enough fiber, etc. It may sound like a lot of work, and for the first month or two... IT IS! But once you start realizing what's in the food you're choosing and what it is or isn't doing for you... you look at it a whole lot differently. You still have your candy bar once in a while (I do) or your processed food once in a while, but you eat a lot healthier and make better choices and it's a whole new perspective. I'm thinking of that Disney song "A Whole New World". I'm against fad diets. You just need to know what you're eating and what you want to do with your body. Do you want to make it fatter? YOU make it fatter. Reality check.
Sorry, sometimes I just get irritated when people act like it's some "fat" fairy that mysteriously adds pounds to their body at night. Likewise, I get irritated when people act like your body is "just luck" or "good genes" when it takes discipline to get it healthy and looking good. Okay... I'll stop.

Well I became a statistic this summer. Eating out too much has made me gain back some weight. The husband has spoiled me way too much and we've been eating out too much. I have done some things well this summer though. I have reconnected with cousins and other family members, spent time with friends, and made some trips that were enjoyable and relaxing. I have taken the time to smell the roses and see the sunrises. Now if I can just cut back on the sweets during all this happiness! :D
