Sugar Sugar
I've started worrying if I'm not eating too much sugar in my diet. When I started this low-sodium lifestyle, I didn't even think that that could be a problem. But most of my desserts are super-sugary now (though pretty low-cal). I really eat a lot of fat-free whipped cream (my ice cream). Today I was really enjoying a snack of Craisins. They have 0 mg of sodium, but are sweetened dried cranberries. If I'd known sugar was added, I wouldn't have bought them. Hopefully I can find plain dried cranberries, because they're so great. I'm worried that this will affect my weight loss progress. Right now, though, I'm just going to focus on sodium. If the scale continues to stay in the same place, I'll reevaluate my plan.

I'm putting salt on everything! I never really understood why it's so bad for you...now I'm afraid to find out.
I've had a hard time finding unsweetened dried cranberries. I'll keep my eyes peeled and let you know if I see any.
I'm doing Weight Watchers and it works so well for me. I didn't join or anything, I calculated how many points I should have and look up points on my own. You don't need that calculator. I've memorized most of the foods I eat regularly.
