Raw cacao powder has tons of magnesium in it!

I have been trying to avoid desserts, too. While I get the whole "everything in moderation" thing (and agree), at this stage of the game, I am just not able to be moderate. I really feel like there are certain foods that trigger overeating for me, so I'd rather just avoid them altogether. One thing that I have been LOVING…

I have had limited success with chewing gum, brushing teeth (so my mind thinks it's bed-time), or turning the lights off in the kitchen and "closing" it for the night. Good luck!

Before my oldest was born, I was successful in getting down to a healthy weight with Weight Watchers... but with each kid, I have held on to a bit more of the baby weight. And so I find myself exactly where I started (but more fit, I think...I…

Wow, thanks SO much for all the great suggestions!!

Happens to me often! I did get a different pair of running shoes, and that seems to help some.
