Balance of Food

Flowers are calorie-free. So are pink and red hearts, at least the candy-free version. And even if you are cooking dinner, make it healthy -- for your heart. OK, I'm not really trying to ruin Valentine's Day. And I am the king of obsessively eating for holidays. I just think that we work way too hard to show our love through food on one particular day. Romance is having someone cook for you on a day when you are really tired. Waiting for a day where everyone is also obsessed with lobster and steak isn't always romantic. And if chocolate is involved these days, just don't eat it all in one day. Share some with your co-workers who are Valentine-challenged. It's a day about love -- for yourself and for others, not necessarily food.
