That comment alone was enough to shut down my entire day, and I'm convinced it was the reason I wandered up to the counter at panera and ordered a brownie without even thinking about what I was doing. I've been doing MFP for a while and…

I can't blame it on jenny craig, its my fault. I can't stick to the program anymore, I'm so tired of the food and I've learned how to…
