And if you're sweetie brought you healthy treats, they may offend. As if to say, "I've noticed you're still carrying some Holiday weight, so no sweets for you." After all, we're only 6 weeks into our New Year's resolution to lose those pesky pounds.
It's almost absurd to think of purchasing healthy alternatives to the popular gifts wrapped in the pretty red heart shaped boxes. I saw (food) Valentine's gifts in the gas station yesterday. It's all over the place and relatively easy to find.
If you do a simple google search for Valentine's Day gifts this is what pops up:
It's all sunshine and jelly beans until you realize you've become a type II diabetic!!! Thanks a lot, Valentine. Our society is so freaking obsessed with gifting sugar! Does your Valentine also offer to help you with your monthly gym membership fee? Now that's a thoughtful gift!
Here are some savvy alternative to the norm:
All you need is a cookie cutter and some fruits and veggies. Sure, fruits have their fair share of fructose. Ok, but at least you are offering vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals (sexy isn't it!!) instead of just processed sugar!!
Your sweetie won't feel like an over-indulgded fat cow afterwards. Fruits and veggies have a positive effect on moods, too. So it's a win-win situation!! Say you love them with a savvy gift!
