House Buying
Agghhhh! I swear it's such a stressful process that I caught myself emotionally eating yesterday. Not too badly and I caught myself before it upped my calories too much but boy I had no idea that it would be so much up and down stuff!

NSV
Before I started all this weight loss stuff, I'd lie about my weight. It didn't come up much that I had to state a number, especially publicly, but there you have it.

So weight has always been an issue for me but more so after my mother's death about 5 years ago......I'm a single mom myself and I think between the stress of my mom's illness and death and grieving her loss, I ended up feeling that the only time that I could take time for myself was by eating. So I did. More recently,…
