    Funny you should start this thread, cause last night I had my OMG moment. We had pancakes for dinner last night. I was victorious at eating only 2 pancakes with maple syrup. The syrup alone was 200 cal per 1/4 cup! I made the switch to real maple syrup a few months back cause of all the chemicals found in other syrups. I am seriously considering going back to the sugary chemicals.

    I had an OMG moment when I was shopping yesterday. I picked up a box of coconut crunch mini donuts (one of my old favorites):love: A serving (3 donuts) is 250 calories!!:noway: For three bites of food!:grumble: Needless to say, I didn't buy them. If I'm going to eat 250 calories, I want more bang for my buck.

    I use 1 TBSP of pure maple syrup per pancake at 50 calories! I try to use applesauce, or fruit to make up the difference. Don't give up!
