Wow, it's really easy to go WAAAAAY off track when you're not logging and blogging, isn't it?Two things are on my mind this morning.
First, I had an interesting conversation yesterday with a friend who is a card-carrying member of Overeaters Anonymous. I asked her how someone knows if he or she needs to go to OA, and she said that they have an online questionnaire. I took a look and was surprised by one of the questions in particular -- the one about whether you spend an inordinat...
Nothing exciting to report...should that make me happy?

Today was a straightforward day with no food- or drink-related challenges. I even ate out at lunch, but at a place where I go so often that I already know exactly what to order to stay within my CK targets.

I then still cooked a healthy dinner, but a much simpler menu that was ready faster. My only r...Independence Day -- independence from emotional eating, that is

Happy 4th of July!Had several successes today. Had already carefully budgeted my calories, fat grams, sugar grams, etc. to allow for one planned indulgence at the ballpark -- a soft pretzel, no sauce. The game was from 1-5, so I planned to eat lunch before going to the ballpark (I had to leave at 11h15 to get there on time) and then have my beloved pretzel around 2 so I wouldn't be starving by the time I got home (dinner was just me at home).
My healthy bfast went as planned, and ...
