HEATHER’S SASSY NUTRITION TIP #6: ARRIVE PREPARED
Cupcakes and candy are always in abundance at kids social gatherings. Often times, moms are handed a slice of birthday cake as well and feel obligated to eat it. Ease temptation by arriving to gatherings having already eaten
OSD: But at those birthday parties, isn’t it your obligation to have some cake? Come on! It’s a birthday!
H: Nothing is absolute. Never say never in nutrition. However, arrive prepared so you’re not famished and turning to the cakes & chips to satisfy your hunger. You can still have a taste (come on, we’ve all dipped the finger in the icing!) yet you are less likely to want to eat dissatisfying sweets if you have something in your stomach.
OSD: Good one—and maybe bring along some healthy snacks like fruit if it’s a pot luck kind of party?
H: Exactly! Think ahead. In fact, that’s part of our tip for next week!
