You may have constantly ate, but at least you ate healthy! I have this monthly “issue” that I’m fighting where I want to eat my entire pantry and then some AND I don’t like working out that week either. This month, I tackled the working out. Next month, I’ll take on the working out AND control my eating!
Thanks for continuing to inspire those of us who want your kind of success, but have not gotten there yet!

I was like that yesterday too. I blamed it on the lousy weather we were having! I tried to limit myself to Core List foods but I wanted something to munch on ALL DAY! I can’t wait for nicer weather so I can get out of the house more and have some fresher food choices. I did find good looking strawberries this week and have been having them with yogurt and a sprinkling of bran cereal. Come on Spring!!!

Thanks for the comic and the food journal! I read Brevity every day and they are by far my favorite!
