I wish I'd caught the whole thing. During the part I saw, they talked about how the processed foods were so much cheaper than the food that is good for you. That's my biggest problem. Right now I really can't *afford* to eat healthy. A lot of people have the same problem. It's sad. I think there would be a great deal of positive change if healthy food was more affordable. More people would be healthier, and as a result feel better both physically and emotionally. My family is also one of those that celebrates everything with food, and lots of it. It's a real challange for me to think of ways to celebrate anything without food, because I've been so conditioned to connect celebration with food. I watched part of that show, too.

Food Inc.. it really does make you think about what you're eating! Of course it doesn't stop me from eating it very often, but I try. ha. My body does the same thing... if I've been eating healthy and then eat things that aren't, I get soo bloated and my tummy starts talking to anyone who will listen! BBQ in the snow sounds fun.. hope that it went okay! I'm sitting here eating apple slices, so I definitely know those sugar cravings.. don't worry, we'll push through! Also wanted to say that I LOVE the rewards you have for -25 lbs and -50 lbs... I really like that yellow/goldish color! Is that the color you're getting them in? -Carissa I just watched that movie a couple of nights ago.. Food Inc.. it really does make you think about what you’re eating!

It really is unfortunate that food=love. I think most families celebrate with food like that. It really is unfortunate that food=love.
