Diet Tip: Is It Sponge Worthy? (a bit of wisdom borrowed from Seinfeld sitcom)

Do you remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine’s preferred birth control method “the sponge” was being discontinued? Elaine ran around New York buying all she could find to stockpile them. Then as she was dating she had to think long and hard about whether the guy was “sponge worthy” or not before she decided whether he could spend the night.

While we were watching the Seinfeld reruns we got to thinking that this approach can be very useful when it comes to making decisions about whether to eat something or not eat it. You only have so many calories (“sponges”) allotted each day – once they are used up that’s it, there are no more for the day. So before you put something in your mouth — ask yourself “is it sponge worthy.” If it is, enjoy a small portion, take your time to savor it and delight in all its pleasures. If it is not, then put it down and walk away.
