Not only is January a slow, slow month - it is the Diet Month of The Year. It's cold, not much to look forward to and somewhere along the way, we grew out of our underwear. Everything feels tight. Our clothes just don't feel right, our December credit card bills have put us into a space that makes the walls close in and the only thing we have to look forward to are our W-2's.
One of the new shows had a segment about what 100 calories look like. These days, food companies have made it much easier for us to count calories and it seems that you can get Anything in a 100 calorie pack. If nothing else, we truly are a simple people and this one little thing makes most of us, very happy and it is all wrapped up in a nice neat little package.
But for those foods that DON'T come all ready pre-packaged, this show showed us what 100 calories can buy you.
10 whole pickles ( you have GOT to be kidding)
8-10 french fries ( you have GOT to be kidding)
1/2 of a small baked potato
4 slices of chicken breasts
1/2 cup of plain yogurt with a handful of berries
2 Tablespoons of flavored yogurt
6 ounces of orange juice
2 cups of salsa
1 Tablespoon of mayonnaise
7 Tablespoons of ketchup
8 potato chips
18 carrots
Seems to me, it is feast or famine. How in the world are we suppose to remember all this? 10 whole pickles - are you nuts? Two cups of salsa would put me in a permanent acid reflux coma. 8 French fries just primes my eating pump. Doesn't seem to help January's image too much and it has only made me hungry. Thank God, I love black and white or the whole month would be a complete wash...
