EATING IS NOT A RECREATIONAL SPORT

Eating when bored or to relax in the evening? Probably NOT a good idea. We all know the purpose of food is to nourish our bodies so we can accomplish our tasks and enable us to enjoy the highlights life offers. Eating is not a recreational sport.

​Making delicious, healthy meals doesn't go against this idea- but OVER eating and sitting down to "relax" in the evening with a bunch of goodies (after a filling dinner) are not good practices if you want to stay healthy (or slimmer).  

I'm giving a book review talk this week and there will be NO refreshments served. What? A talk where there is no food or drink- radical! I think there should be MORE get-togethers and classes that don't serve food. Be a radical rebel- suggest it when you have an opportunity. Why do we need snacks at classes and clubs if they aren't held at meal times? Be bold! Take a stand.

Our society boasts plentiful food and it is everywhere you look. There are candy bars at Sports Authority. There is food at most gas stations. There is food almost everywhere you go and most of it is not the healthiest choices. You are in charge- as a parent, a grandparent and for yourself. Don't focus on food for fun or an activity. Find other venues for fun and entertainment. They are out there! And if you need help, ask a friend or email me. Because: Nothing changes unless something changes.
