    You may need a one hour intervention, Dave. I suggest deep breathing & counting to 10.

    since everyone tells us "moderation" and its ok to "cheat" I think we can leave the laptops on and tomorrow will be another day

    "I have come to realize that moderation is a word that became popular when people didn't just want to eat normal portions! And choose wisely!!:laugh:

    I know I'll probably get kicked off this thread, if not MFP altogether - but we could use that hour to workout. In moderation, of course.

    I used to think this way too. I don't know why but the word "Moderation" is just bugging me lately.

    Not sure why!!
