Actually, I cared about calories and sodium…now I care more about sugar than either of those things! It’s incredible to see how many grams of sugar is in supposedly “healthy” things!! I can see why my midwife only wants me eating Kashi, seeing as it has 5g of sugar/serving, compared with 20-30 in normal cereal (prob 40-50 if it’s Fruit Loops or something!).

By the way, the first thing one of my new piano moms said to me when I walked in the door today?? “You look so healthy!”. I died a little bit inside. It’s a nice way of saying you’re fat, but not bloated.
