  • Y'all! We don't ever keep pop tarts in the house, but my SIL sent us a care package today with red velvet pop tarts! After all the pop tart talk on this thread, I couldn't help myself and I ate a pack for dessert after I was already in the red, so now I'm a total of 600 over my goal. Sigh.

I know how scary it can be to admit your disorder to anyone, but if you don't deal with it head on, it will haunt you for the rest of your life. You're ill, and you need help recovering. Your family wants you to be healthy. Be brave and talk to someone.…
