My Type 1 Pre-Teen is Sneaking Candy and Snacks?

Posted on March 21, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

My daughter is making me crazy. She is type 1 and her father and I are very careful about her care. But she has reached the age where she thinks she knows better than anyone else, and she is sneaking candy and snacks behind our backs and her blood sugar is through the roof. I mentioned this to her doctor in front of her, hoping he would back me up, and he was just kind of like yah, you know you really shouldn’t do that – like it was no big deal. Food without insulin is like poison to her system….I’m just worried sick for her. We have told her all the horror stories of what can happen to diabetics that don’t have any control, and it just doesn’t phase her. Oh, and she’s not on a pump yet so she can’t just punch in a dosage whenever she eats. I’d really love some suggestions!

Over Weight Dog-Border Collie/lab mix?

Posted on March 17, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

My dog needs to lose about 50 lbs. she just weight in at 99.5 way too much weight. I know the sensible answer is to cut back on her food and snacks, but is it necessary to buy a Vet prescribed food such as OM made by Purina. I have purchased a bag costing 31.00 for 20 lbs. Way to expensive but if necessary will continue to buy. Is there a cheaper “good” food out there I can start her on? Thank you.

Korean Convenience Store Raid Part 1: Bagged Snacks

Posted on July 21, 2011 by admin| 50 Comments

We went to the local GS25 and grabbed all the new stuff we could find, bought it all, ate and drank it, then recorded our reactions. Here’s the result: a four-part miniseries on Korean Convenience Store food. The song at the intro is: Bike (Vocal. Westwind) by 페퍼톤스. Please note: we have opinions! If we don’t like the food it does not mean that we are disrespecting Korea (as some people have told us before). We have a right to say whether we like something or not!

A storyboard for my assignment for class. We had to write a story and put images to it (It’s not real). Hope you guys like this cause i usually get pretty lame marks in video class lol. They’re not meant to be good drawings, these are just the storyboard. Just thought i’d share it with you guys because i seem to enjoy the storyboard more lol. Sorry it’s a bit random

I work in the airline industry and it is VERY difficult to eat healthy while on trips. Any suggestions?

Posted on April 26, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

I am an airline crew member and it is very difficult to eat healthy while on trips considering all that is available at the airports are McDonald’s, Burger King’s, etc and there are very limited cooking facilities for us. What can I do to ensure that I am getting all of the nutrients that my body needs when I have to eat fast food and airline snacks as my regular diet due to the fact that I am hardly ever home and can’t really bring anything and preserve it?
