It pisses me off every October when I see the Yoplait Yogurt ads for their “Pink Ribbon/Lids Breast Cancer” marketing ploy. My biggest problem with Yoplait’s Pink Lid promotion, besides the obvious trick to gain more sales, is that highly processed, highly sugary food products like Yoplait Yogurt could possibly be one of the factors [...]

Confessions of a Compulsive Eater – 141.8
Okay, confession time. This summer was brutal. While on our vacations, I ate a lot lot lot of sugary foods, & it seems like it made my “compulsive” eating issues come alive a little bit. It was getting harder and harder to say “no” to foods that I shouldn’t be eating. This weekend, I didn’t [...]
Dastardly Donut
Ugh, the dastardly donut got me today at lunch. I was visiting DH and we ate lunch together in his work lunchroom, and there was a box of Dunkin Donuts that another co-worker brought in that morning. Of course, DH had to open it, and there were just a few left, all jelly filled. I [...]
Whole Wheat Bread is Full of Sugar!
No wonder people on “diets” give up bread! Commercial whole wheat bread is loaded with refined sugar! I only baked two very small loaves of bread for our vacation, so I figured I’d pick up a loaf if needed at the local store while we were away. Stopping at a little local grocery/convenience store, I [...]
Pretzels
This is why I don’t buy pretzels and other non nutritious snacks. I can’t stop eating them! We’ve been on vacation this week, and we stopped for a snack after ATVing and against my better judgement, I was coerced into buying a 1 lb bag of pretzel sticks. Let me tell you these things are [...]
No, Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread Is NOT a Health or Healthy Food!
Those TV commercials for Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread drive me crazy! They try to convey that it’s the greatest health food since brown rice! And that it’s such a good choice for your kids! Well it’s not! Here is the commercial I’ve been seeing over and over: Ingredients and Nutritional Data from the Nutella USA [...]
Tyson Anytizers – Processed Chicken Appetizers Are Not Healthy!
I keep seeing the commercials for Tyson Anytizers – so of course, I had to find out exactly what they’re about, knowing perfectly well, that it’s not going to be a healthy outcome. From their web site: Any time is right for Tyson Any’tizers®. They are the hot, substantial snacks that are always perfectly delicious. [...]
Food Network Rewards Obese Duff Goldman with New Sugar High Show
I just watched a promo for the new Food Network show “Sugar High” starring Duff Goldman, the guy from “Ace of Cakes” (a show I don’t think I’ve watched once) Anyway, the promo commercial made me sick! They showed him gorging on cakes, pastries, cookies, and puddings. Every scene was him shoveling huge desserts into [...]
Back from Vacation – 137.2
On Wednesday, we came back from an extended 4th of July holiday and I’m happy that I’ve maintained my weight. Weighed myself this AM @ 137.2 (gave myself a couple of days for sodium water retention to dissipate.) We ate a lot of sugary snacks – ice cream and dessert cakes, but we walked a [...]
