My new secret weapon = sweet potato!
I have been eating them with many dinners & there are so tasty & so good for you too!
As a main dish or prepared as a dessert, the sweet potato is a nutritious and economical food. One baked sweet potato (3 1/2 ounce serving) provides over 8,800 IU of vitamin A or about twice the recommended daily allowance, yet it contains only 141 calories making it valuable for the weight watcher. This nutritious vegetable provides 42 percent of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamin C, 6 percent of the RDA for calcium, 10 percent of the RDA for iron, and 8 percent of the RDA for thiamine for healthy adults. It is low in sodium and is a good source of fiber and other important vitamins and minerals. A complex carbohydrate food source, it provides beta carotene which may be a factor in reducing the risk of certain cancers.
For the most food value, choose sweet potatoes of a deep orange color.

I'm not waiting until I have to make a resolution. I want to feel fantastic now. NUMBERS BE DAMNED - I am fantastic now.
Put your rally caps on girls. Let's leave 2006 in style.
The Rally Cap is the act of wearing one's baseball cap turned inside-out while trying to will your team into a rally late in the game. The Rally Cap is a superstition used in baseball. Players usually only do this at a young age, while fans do it at an older age while attending Major League Baseball games.
The possible start for the belief in the Rally cap may have been during the 1986 World Series when the New York Mets were playing the Boston Red Sox. The Mets were losing Game Six and already down 3 games to 2 in the series; it seemed almost certain that the Red Sox were going to be the 1986 World Series Champs. In the 7th Inning of that game, something amazing happened; the Mets all started wearing their caps inside out while sitting in the dugout. Catching on, the fans also started to sport their caps inside out and called it the "Rally Cap". After that, the Mets rallied back and went on to win Game Six in the Tenth Inning-forcing a Game Seven. Then, in Game Seven, the Mets found themselves falling behind again by a score of 3-0 and in need of a little more magic. Once again, the players and the fans put on their Rally Cap. The rest is Baseball History; the Mets rallied back to win Game Seven by a score of 8-5 and became the 1986 World Series Champs.
The belief behind the rally cap is generally to sacrifice a small amount of one's dignity in exchange for a little luck for one's team. It is widely understood that the baseball cap must be one depicting the logo of the team in order to be used as a Rally Cap.

I have not been on here in the longest time...but I have a serious problem and I've even researched it! I am in college and have a tendency to get stressed out, leading me to become an emotional eater. I literally eat and eat until my stomache is upset. How do I break this aweful habit? It's making me sad...<3 britt
