Heartburn anyone?
I've been getting heartburns for the past month or so. I haven't gotten heartburns since I was pregnant w/ my second and it sucks. Any home remedies? I don't like Rolaids, Malox or any of that stuff... they upset my stomach. Drinking milk does work but sometimes I feel sick afterwards.....:frown: ~Joanna:flowerforyou:

Mindless Eating
Has anyone here experienced this? This is my downfall. I hate licorice, it is SO not worth the calories. I found myself eating one right after the other. Ok, so they taste good, but I feel like CRAP after eating them. Why do I do this to myself? Licorice has SOO many calories too. NOT WORTH IT!!:sad:

Louisville Kentucky--a non-diet question
Completely random, I'm sorry! My husband and I are hoping to buy a house within the next year. Problem? We live in the most expensive part of the country, the northeast. We can't afford anything, and probably never will. Possible solution? Relocating to a new part of the country! (Crazy? Possibly!) We both have family in…

Just wanted to share a "must be getting older" moment. My older sister has been trying to get me to take a vacation with her this summer...
