Lesson learnt
The first step to losing weight: Avoid everything Starbucks. Honestly, cakes and coffees there are just over-the-top in calorie and sugar count.The Bucks County Co. Coffee place just around the corner sells way more calorie-tame beverages and snacks.
Actually, the first step would be to avoid everything sweet. But if you must treat yourself, DON'T go ... you know where. Buy your own snacks, like a hot chocolate mix has 150 calories, compared to 560 at St. Arbucks.
*Disclaimer so you don't sue me: You're probably in for sugar-overload anytime you step into a cafe of any brand anyway. It's just that, down here I'm surrounded by Starbucks so the name is basically a replacement for cafe.
