Sunday Smorgasbord

This will be your last smorgasbord for a few weeks, folks. I'm going to Europe to the AED conference and then to wander around Germany and Austria (without stressing too much over the food!) Considering that I don't know when/if I'll have internet access in some of these small towns, I don't know that I'll have the time to put together a smorgasbord. So enjoy this edition and I'll be back to my weekly posting when I return.

If you were to eat only foods advertised on TV, you would get more than 20 times the recommended fat and sugar, but less than half of the suggested amounts of vegetables.

Jackie,

I would love to discuss relapse prevention with you! Please send me an email at carrie@edbites.com (things are hectic with me leaving the country, and I know myself well enough to know that I need your help!) and I would love to discuss relapse prevention.

Good luck,
Carrie

About Me

My photo
I'm a science writer, a jewelry design artist, a bookworm, a complete geek, and mom to a wonderful kitty. I am also recovering from a decade-plus battle with anorexia nervosa. I believe that complete recovery is possible, and that the first step along that path is full nutrition.

Drop me a line!
