Yesterday was Valentines Day – a day that is totally devoted to indulgence that is supposed to signify LOVE. A day when chocolate sales go through the roof and restaurant reservations are only surpassed by those made on Mother’s Day (another food Yom Tov). So the message we get is very clear – food is [...]

Today is January 25. Studies have shown that by this date (actually January 21) those New Years resolutions have been long forgotten. Those folks who “swore” they’d lose weight, stop smoking and exercise (the top 3 resolutions) are eating out of control (again), smoking like they did before anbd lying around on the couch. Why? [...]

Happy NewYear!!  Hard to believe we are in 2012, back from a month of holidays, waking up to frigid temps (in New York), and trying to get back to some kind of normal reality (if there were ever such a thing). This is the time of New Years Resolutions and the top ones? Not surprising [...]

Unbelievable that the holidaysare upon us, and the season brings us much joy, and merriment. The Chanukah parties being planned, gifts to buy, menorahs to shine, children singing and …the food. Latkes and donuts, what to make for the guests? Isn’t it amazing that food is always in the mix? But it is what it [...]

Thanksgiving – another eating day. But for many of us, we dont need a Thanksgiving or a Rosh Hashannah to overeat – any old day will do.

We havent even caught our breath yet  from Yom Tov, but there they all are – the turkeys, the Thanksgiving cards, and (gasp) Chanukah is just around the corner. And all the eating around [...]

Here it is – the “after the holidays” that we have been talking about for weeks. You know, whenever anyone asked something or said something or wanted something or a task we wanted to put off, it was “after the holidays”. So here we are. What’s the excuse now? Cause there will always be one. [...]

Hope you all had a great Rosh Hashannah – and now on to Yom Kippur and beyond. I am sure that I have blogged “The Fastng Tips”, but they are worth noting again.  For me, fasting is really hard. I always end up with a headache (my whole family does), so if there is any [...]

I cant believe I am making Rosh Hashannah plans already. The time really flies. As usual, I am having a crowd at my house for this holiday and deciding on the menu is a bit challenging. Certain factors are crucial. First, the commitment to stay on my program no matter what.  Rosh Hashannah is not [...]

So – has anyone recognized him/herself as being down the road of relapse? The road has many more twists and turns. I promised the next warning signs – here they are: -NEGLECTING TO READ LABELS – up until this point while you were doing well, you read every single word on everylabel. Now it’s just [...]
