December 30, 2009

Went to coffee with a coworker who gave me a belated Christmas gift. At first I wasn’t sure I wanted it.

So – Weight Loss Surgery Myth Number One:
If you have weight loss surgery, you’ll never eat again.
Uh…Wrong. You eat. In fact, eating is a must. It’s still enjoyable, pleasurable, and all that. You just get [...]

No Trash Zone

November 4, 2009

Weird food AHA moment recently.  My girlfriend organized a huge party to celebrate her daughter’s 4th birthday.  Think BPP – Big, Pink and Princess dress up party.  It was over the top and included one of those giant inflatable play structures, a piñata, and cake for days. NUTS and very fun.
