I get hungry a lot even though I do eat throughout the day. Sometimes I just need a “little something” to satisfy that gnawing I feel in my tummy. Being as busy as I am, I needed to find a treat that would satisfy that sweet and salty and creamy and crunchy taste that I craved. So instead of having some chips and cookies and ice cream, I’ve come up with a solution that I call “Spoon Situation”, because if I don’t immediately shove something in my mouth I’m going to have a real bad situation by eating everything in sight.

CRUSTLESS PIZZA BITES
I absolutely love pizza. I could eat it everyday and not get tired of it. The problem is all the carbs from the crust. Even gluten free pizza is carb heavy.

I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT
How many times have you said that? Too many, I’m sure. Probably have said that almost every day – we women over fifty are obsessed! It’s always about the number. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t strive to look good (because let’s be honest here, we’re not thinking about our hearts when our jeans don’t zip up). I’m saying that we should strive for an attainable, maintainable middle-aged weight.

Let’s face it: there are going to be FAT days regardless of how hard you try because some days are just like that.
