Yes, <3 unsweetened cran juice. My favorite "soda" these days is seltzer water (or pellegrino if youre fancy) with a couple splashes of cran juice and fresh-squeezed lime or meyer lemon juice. Super refreshing.

so question.. do ya'll juice it yourself or what?

not cranberry juice, I get that at the store. Make sure you're getting plain, unsweetened juice (its usually in a glass bottle). I juice the lemons and limes though, it tastes so much better than the stuff in bottles. I recommend getting them from Mexican or Asian grocery stores, so much cheaper.

I can't STAND cranberry juice. Ughhh *shivers horribly*

But, when I'm putting lemon juice on my hair in the shower, I always lick the measuring spoon. Mmmm.

Not really funny, but a really huge "ARGHGGHHDGHSDGJKSDFJKFJLJK" moment. Like I don't even see CW seeing this as healthy.

Was at the gym in the stretching area. Saw this rail thin Chinese girl signing up for membership and possibly training sessions. She looked at least 5'7" or 5'8" sitting down. Overheard the trainer signing her up say, "Oh you're 129lbs and want to lose 10lbs? Let's set your goal weight at 119lbs then." NO. nononononono

Ugh, god this stuff is such a pet peeve of mine. At 5'5'' and 135 pounds I'm a whale and I must need to lose 25 pounds! Ultra skinny media ideals warping everyone's (mine included) ideas of how skinny they need to be. And then people call Kate Upton fat, she's a freaking swimsuit model with a 25 inch waist. Having big boobs does not make her "fat".

I just started seeing this ad on Hulu for a new "deal" at Pizza Hut. They're calling it the $10 Dinner Box. It includes a medium pizza, cheezy breadsticks, and cinnamon-sugar breadsticks with icing.

So....A large crappy bread, with a side of crappy bread, and sugary crappy bread for dessert.

Even when I was on a SAD diet, I wouldnt have considered that "dinner," by ANY stretch of the imagination. Even when I was in grad school!

I couldnt find a link to the official commercial, but i found a video "review" of the product on youtube, which is even worse cause it shows it in all its greasy, sad, SAD glory:

The little girl next door, I think she's 8 years old, likes to come into our backyard and play with our dogs. My husband and I were snacking on a bowl of cherries. She asked us what they were, we said "cherries". She then proceeded to try to tell us they weren't REAL cherries. I asked her a few questions to see what she meant, turns out the only cherries she's ever had or seen are the maraschino cherries in her drinks from Sonic Drive-In.

My 10 year old cousin is even worse. This kid is already obese, and it's entirely because of his parents. When they were visiting last summer, he couldn't find the turkey on the stove. He had no idea what real cut-up turkey looked like. (This is the same kid that, on Thanksgiving when he didn't like anything my mom had cooked for the family dinner, his mom told him to go get an orange out of the car. Turns out in their household, "an orange" is a can of orange flavored soda!)

I used to be that little girl. I seriously never ate cherries (aside from the maraschino cherries in fruit cups, which I mostly avoided) until like a year or two ago. I had to look online to see how to eat them (what with the pit and all).. I'd never had most fruits/vegetables (eg: plums, cucumber, squash, raspberries, cherries, oranges, mango, whole peaches, etc) until I moved out of my mom's house at 22. And the vegetables I was given as a child were all canned mush. My mom was a terrible cook and didn't bother exposing me to different things. Honestly, she didn't really give a shit.

The point is that there may yet be hope for her! I'm here and eating primal and she might end up here someday too. I hope so.

My mom (who tends to be a bit paranoid and is happiest when she's worried) was having dinner out with us when my kids were little. She was freaking out because they put a cherry in my youngest's drink. "Grab that! It could have a pit in it and he could choke!"

Seriously, they never have pits in bar cherries.

Except this one time.

I hate it when paranoid people are right.
