Weird...but sort of a victory...I guess
I work in an office...had a big lunch about 20 minutes ago (big in volume, but only 300 calories), and I'm stuffed. Not at all hungry. At all. But, as I was reading an email, I looked down and realized that somewhere in the last 5 minutes, I had just gone to my snack drawer, pulled out a snack, and eaten it, without even…
