There are certain states and regions in the U.S. that are more prone to tornadoes. Our state (Wisconsin) has them occasionally but not frequently.

I totally agree with this! I try to phrase my goals with 'I will' instead. Recently I have been snacking on a salty sweet (which I love & crave) and tell myself "I will not eat more than one portion". Of course, I eat more than one portion. Maybe if I rephrase to "I will eat one portion & stop." I'll see if that helps.

Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
