That's totally my problem. I hate to admit that the other day I got really frustrated with my kids and husband and drowned my worries in a piece of cheesecake. And you know what? It DIDN'T help! I was still just as frustrated, and now had added another 400 calories to the mix! I've watched a TV show to help sometimes, or go for a walk. I know which one is best. I will try harder now.<br /><br />But yes, sodium is the silent killer. It's crazy how much salt there is in things! A year ago I made a goal to cut my salt in half. The best way to reduce salt is to get rid of all processed and pre-packaged foods and make things from scratch. I'm not talking about cookies from scratch. I'm talking about steamed vegetables, grilled chicken, poached salmon, baked potatoes, etc. I have found I really don't need that much salt. And I love experimenting with lots of herbs and spices to make it delicious without the salt. Garlic, yes!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04294036726523853032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-62974481446113771722011-07-07T22:14:48.854-07:002011-07-07T22:14:48.854-07:00FluffyChicky- I probably should've elaborated...FluffyChicky- I probably should've elaborated. I'm not <i>just</i> an emotional eater. I'm also a bored eater and an overwhelmed with everything eater and a <i>That looks really great I think I'll bake that and eat it too!</i> eater.
