More hungry than normal
Hello MFPers! What is everyone doing to deal with hunger cravings? I need some new ideas. I have been more hungry than normal the last few days, for some unknown reason. I feel like at any moment I could lose it and go on a food binge, and I have been doing a good job of NOT allowing that to happen up to this point. I do…
