I just got back today. I've been away for awhile and there were probably more than a dozen reasons why but I am not going to over analyze it lest I get frustrated and disappear again. Sooo I am hitting the "reset button" today! ... Read more

I've been away for awhile. My last blog entry was March 9. On March 13, I lost my best friend...my mom. I will say that I have shut down in many ways and the emotional eating has been taking over. Initially, I had been able to maintain, but th... Read more
