The Super Bowl

The Super Bowl...it is a time to get together with family and friends. It is an event that most of us ladies would probably rather sit around and socialize while waiting for the commercials to come on between the plays not to mention the half time show. It is also a time to eat things that you normally do not which gives you a chance to justify why it is ok to eat the chips, wings or pizza sitting conveniently in front of you.

You see everyone else around you taking their bites enjoying the game without a second thought to what they are consuming. Meanwhile, you are sitting there wondering if you should even bother thinking about what you are eating.

The solution: do not put anything on your plate that is tempting and drink lots of water during the meal to feel more full so you do not snack and overeat.

I am not going to lie, I miss the nachos, the brownies and yummy french onion dip as much as Christina Aguilera missed singing the right words to our Star Spangled Banner at tonight's Super Bowl. However, in time, I know it will get that much easier to skip out on such guilty pleasures.
