Comfort Food
Whenever I get stressed out, I crave comfort foods, like velveeta macaroni and cheese, pasta, sometimes Thai food, anything with a LOT of carbs and salt. I want to plan ahead so when the craving hits, I'll have a plan in place. Any suggestions for healthier comfort foods? Thanks!

eat this not that
Let's start a thread like the "eat this not that" book. I'll start. Anyone know of any post them here! Eat a 1/2 box of Junior Mints ( 170 calories), instead of 1 bag of M&M's (240 calories). More satisfying!
