The Top 15 Worst Foods in America

15: Worst kids' meal - Macaroni Grill Double Macaroni 'n' Cheese. 1,210 calories, 62 g fat, 3,450 mg sodium. It's  like feeding your kid 1-1/2 boxes of Kraft mac 'n' cheese.

14: Worst sandwich - Quiznos Classic Italian (large). 1,528 calories, 92 g fat, 4,604 mg sodium, 110 g carbs. A  large homemade sandwich would more likely provided about 500 calories.

13: Worst salad - On the Border Grande Taco Salad with Taco Beef. 1,450 calories, 102 g fat, 78 g carbs, 2,410 mg  sodium. This isn't an anomaly: Five different On the Border salads on the menu  contain more than 1, 100 calories each.

12: Worst burger - Carl's Jr. (Hardee's  on East Coast) Double Six Dollar Burger. 1,520 calories! , 111g fat. Carl's  Jr. brags it's home to this enormous sandwich, but the restaurant chain also  provides convenient nutrition info on its Web site -- so ignorance is no  excuse for eating it.

11: Worst  steak - Lonestar 20 oz  T-bone. 1,540 calories, 124g fat. Add a baked potato and Lonestar's Signature  Lettuce Wedge, and this is a 2,700 calorie blowout.

10: Worst breakfast - Bob Evans Caramel Banana Pecan Cream Stacked and Stuffed hotcakes. 1,540 calories, 77 g fat (9 g  trans fat), 198 g carbs, 109 g sugar. Five Egg McMuffins yield the same caloric cost as this stack of sugar-stuffed flapjacks, which is truly a heavy  breakfast, weighing in at a hefty pound and a half.

9: Worst dessert - Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. 1,600 calories, 78 g fat, 215 g  carbs. Would you eat a Big Mac for dessert? How about three? That's the  calorie equivalent of this decadent dish. Clearly, Chili's customers get their money's worth.

8: Worst Chinese entree - P.F. Chang's Pork Lo Mein. 1,820 calories, 127 g fat,! 95 g carbs. The fat content in this dish alone provides more than 1,100 calories. And you'd have to eat almost five servings of pasta to match the number of carbs it contains.  Now, do you really need five servings of pasta?

7: Worst chicken entree - Chili's Honey Chipotle Crispers with Chipotle Sauce. 2,040 calories, 99 g fat, 240 g carbs.  'Crispers' refers to an extra thick layer of break crumbs that soak up oil and adds unnecessary calories and carbs to these glorified chicken strips.

6: Worst fish entree - On the Border Dos XX Fish Tacos with Rice and Beans. 2,100 calories, 130 g fat, 169 g carbs, 4,700 mg sodium.   Perhaps the most misleadingly named dish in America : A dozen crunchy tacos from Taco Bell will saddle you with fewer calories.

5: Worst pizza - Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish Pizza. 2,310 calories, 162 g fat, 123 g carbs, 4,470  mg sodium.  Downing this 'personal' pizza is equivalent to eating 18 slices of Domino's Crunchy Thin Crust cheese pizza.

4: Worst pasta - Macaroni Grill Spaghetti and Meatballs with Meat Sauce. 2,430 calories, 128 g fat, 207 g  carbs, 5,290 mg sodium. This meal satisfied your calorie requirements for an entire day.

3: Worst nachos - On the Border Stacked Border Nachos. 2,740 calories, 166 g fat, 191 g carbs, 5,280 sodium.

2: Worst appetizer - Chili's Awesome Blossom. 2,710 calories, 203 g fat, 194 g carbs, 6,360 mg sodium.

1: The worst food in America - Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing. 2,900 calories, 182g fat, 240g carbs.  Even if you split these 'starters' with three friends, you'll have downed a dinner's worth of calories before you entree  arrives.

September 2000/Ladies’ Home Journal

September 11th will live on for all of us........

Good morning to everyone on this Historical Day.

September 11th will always be one of those moments in time when we  will all remember where we were. DO you remember where you were when this tragedy unfolded? My husband and I were in El Paso where his father had just passed away after a long illness. We had been to his services the day before and were mourning with his fmaily. I was fortunate to still have both my aprents at the time and was counting my blessings when we were told to turn on the television. We had gotten up to return to Dallas and our friend who was house and pet sitting (and picking us up at the airport later that day) called to say she could not pick us up. In just a matter of moments the secound airplane hit the towers and the rest is history.

Take a moment today to tell the people you love that they are important to you. I plan to make calls and leave messages for not only my family members but my friends. Please do the same in honor of those who lost their lives on September 11th. Lets make this a GOOD Day for all of us now and every year. I am hugginh my Greyhounds because they bring such joy to our lives! God Bless America and each of you!

Fears & Phobias

        The unnatural fear of simple things can become a phobia.  While some without phobias believe overcoming fears is easy, those who suffer from them find it affecting their daily living to the point that they can no longer function.  

           It does not matter what you are afraid of. What matters is that you want to STOP being afraid.  It is all the same thing in your subconscious mind.  We will use the Cold Laser to strengthen the chemistry between your body and mind and then add supplements if things are still not where we need them to be.

           When we begin the hypnosis it is very much like flipping a switch.  You can interrupt the fear or end it and make it go away in less than 30 seconds! Yes even you can get to the point where you turn fear off before it begins.  

           There are many things that people are afraid of.  In my 20+ years using hypnosis to help people, I have seen them all.  The most common is ,"fear of public speaking."  There are more people afraid of speaking than there are people afraid to die.  The one I have only seen once is fear of roller coasters, but I have seen them all: fear of snakes, spiders,  iguanas, mice, roaches(or bugs), horses, driving, flying, bridges, water, escalators, crowds, being alone, small spaces, open space, doctors/hospitals, police, judges, and more.  

           If you find yourself overly worried about any one thing, or are having panic attacks, please give us a call so we can get rid of your phobia and help you enjoy life.

Anxiety

       Anxiety is commonly a buildup of stress from tense work situations, death, relationship troubles, or empty nest syndrome. It can be lessened through a better understanding of yourself, your co-workers and your family members. Diminish the need for medication and reinforce positive emotions through hypnosis and cold laser therapy.

        Anxiety is not the actual experience, but rather your individual reaction to it. Stress may be the result of any change in life's situations. Those changes can be negative or positive. Because change is a fact of life, you are reacting to change that creates stress in a new way. I can teach you to recognize your own stress signals and take positive steps to alleviate that stress. Taking definite actions to enrich your life will create satisfaction with yourself and other around you.

        Start your anxiety free life today. Call now to make your free consultation appointment. (972) 934-7066.
