Feel Frazzled?
Here’s a surefire way to boost your own spirits! Do a good deed. It will help you put things in perspective and give you an emotional buzz. Reach out a helping hand, whether that means committing a random act of kindness (like paying a stranger’s toll on the freeway), volunteering at a local soup kitchen or rescuing a homeless animal. 

Food Shopping No-Nos…
Don’t go to the grocery store hungry. You’re more likely to make unhealthy impulse pruchases just to justify your growling stomach. Also, don’t go to the grocery store without a shopping list. You’re more likely to cave in to temptations, especially those “buy one get one free” sales on chocolate chip cookies.

Pause for a second and ask yourself “How will this food affect my weight?” before you make an impulse purchase of a fattening, unhealthy snack or food.

 Did You Know?
A study from Tufts University in Boston suggests that too many food choices may be a contributing factor to the obesity trend in the United States. As Americans, we eat as much as 350 more calories per day on average than we did just 15 years ago. Researchers say that the increased variety of food available today - especially unhealthy foods - may spur overeating. So, keep it simple and keep it healthy!
