Red Velvet Cream Cheese Heaven

A friend gave me a gift of a red velvet cream cheese covered bundlet today.

It was the nicest gift I've received in a long time.

I was overjoyed and I ate every bite.

Then, I paused.

And looked up the calories.

It was 376 calories for the entire thing.

Okay... splurge!  That was my lunch.  It was really thoughtful.

It also made me realize I'm a little obsessed with calorie counts.  It's fine to be aware, count it and move on.  But I don't want calories to rule my life.

In the world of weight loss and maintenance, calories do count.  So, while we have to be careful, we also have to live life and not fear having something different now and then.  It's all about balance.

What was the alternative?  To stare at this little bundlet for a few days or slice it into tiny slices?

Nope.  It's very happy in my tummy.  Now... counting and moving on.  Tomorrow is a new day!
