Do calories make you happy? If people asked me that question before, my answer would be a direct and heartfelt, “Yes!” I mean, who doesn’t become happy by buying a box of doughnuts, seeing an elegant chocolate tiramisu, or merely thinking of ice cream? At least, that’s how I used to think. I thought that all of those treats were heavenly and to die for! I was so obsessed with food that if there was a rehab for foodies, just like an alcohol rehab for alcoholics, I certainly would have been admitted there. In the past, I was someone who didn’t care what she put in her mouth. I was born fat. I gr ..read more

It was 5 years ago when Earl (not his real name) showed up at my office a week after a workshop we had both attended. I was at the workshop on an invitation to talk about my experiences having worked as a counselor and social worker working with people struggling with drug addiction. Earl was there to get help with his addiction to alcohol. He had been a user for 8 years and had tried various rehabilitation programs with little success. In his account of the problems he was experiencing, rehab seemed to work, but fallible. Increasingly often, the medication did not help him much to beat withdr ..read more

Drinking milk has been part of our lives since we were born. We drank our mother’s breast milk to nourish our fragile, little bodies. Even when babies have transitioned to toddlerhood, some mothers continue to breastfeed as long as their “liquid gold” can be produced. In my case, I only got to breastfeed my daughter for a few months because I wasn’t able to produce enough milk. It didn’t matter how many supplements I took or breast milk-boosting foods I ate. That is why I alternately gave breast milk and formula milk to my baby and shifted permanently to the latter. Thankfully, my daughter has ..read more

I learned about the importance of eating healthy while camping during my first camping trip. I was jus ..read more

Hangovers range from just a tad bad to something for which you could end up needing medical treatment. Sadly, many of us can so easily forget how painful and embarrassing it was that we will end up with another hangover after a friend’s birthday celebration a month from now. My first hangover experience happened when I was in middle school. I was reviewing my notes for an exam when I got curious at the sight of a bottle of my uncle’s homemade fruit wine ..read more
