I think it was the holidays, but there were a few times I would have
to "hold my gut" as I would say, because I just ate one too many
bites. I haven't measured my food for awhile. Maybe that is
something we can all work on to get back into the habit.

Who's with me?!
~~crickets chirp~~

LOL

Maybe it's time to get the BIG Binder out again, sigh.

problems with no sugar added ice cream, but it seems random. I'm
trying to figure out why it will bother me sometimes but not other
times. I can eat a regular ginger snap or oatmeal cookie and be
okay. I think because those type of cookies don't have as much sugar
and what it does have is the brown sugar. I can eat the splenda
brown sugar blend on my oatmeal every day and it doesn't bother me at
all.
