Tips! How to make good choices at celebrations

May 25, 2010

One of my biggest triggers is eating poorly at celebration events.  And I define the word celebration with as much breadth as you could possibly allow.  Not just weddings and vacations, but “Oh hey!  It’s Friday!  I survived another week at work!

May 20, 2010

Started reading Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang on Wednesday and put away 100 pages on the train on my way to and from work.  [No, I'm not a speed reader.  It's just a very readable book.  Readable, if you're into inappropriate drug abuse, harassing the less fortunate and being an overall asshole.] I love Chelsea Handler [...]
