Making Good Food Choices

I have blogged many times about making sure you try to make good food choices but also try to achieve balance. Saying that, some of you may choose to not treat yourself while you are on a weight loss plan because you feel it may just lead you to more & more treats or whatever food is your downfall.

For me, I have learned that "treating" myself every so often helps me actually stick to my program because I am not craving it all the time.

Hungry Girl, one of my fav websites, shows you how to fit normal foods in to your lifestyle & she has lots of recipe makeovers too. If you click the link below, you will see the recipe for the chocolate cupcake in the picture above. She also has a book on sale which you can find out about from her site. Some of her recipes & suggestions have more sugar grams than you may prefer, so check that. She also follows Weight Watchers (WW) so if that is your program, she always offers up the WW point value. For this cupcake, it is a 2 point value. The link for the cupcake is: http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chewdetails.php?isid=1402
