My issue comes into play when Noah thinks I am his sibling not his MOM! lol<br /><br />Blessings on your wellness quest. I still go for food impulsively every now and again. I have made some changes though, instead of candy bars, I reach for steamed edamame. Instead of the Doritos, I grab a handful of cashews, almonds, and dried cranberries. I tell myself, "baby steps, Gerri, baby steps"...peace :)Gerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355005063119095095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911067505461648404.post-45022386852176280952009-08-28T11:56:02.601-04:002009-08-28T11:56:02.601-04:00Boy you hit the nail on the head.
