I think it’s fairly obvious that I have a problem, but I thought I was hiding it from my family, friends and all of you – Apparently not. Ben sent me this link today. He figured it out… I can’t take it any more – the glazed look in your eyes, the constant need for new shoes… you’re an addict….

I was very excited for Cookie Friday 🙂 After lunch I went to the grocery store next door to my work. I headed straight to the bakery and was ready to grab a chocolate chip cookie…but this Chocolate Chip Muffin caught my eye instead!

IE – Make Peace With Food
So, I focused on Honoring My Hunger this week and it was a learning experience. I don’t expect to be able to read my hunger perfectly at this point, but I’m trying to be more aware. The third principle of Intuitive Eating is Make Peace With Food. From the Intuitive Eating website: Call a truce, stop the food fight! Give…
