Reading is driving me to EAT!
I have been reading a book called Intuitive Eating. It is talking about learning which foods you like and consciously slowing down to think of the flavor, texture, scent and breaking it down from there...

Exercise Balls
Hey... I need advice. I thought about getting an exercise ball for a reward for becoming normal vs over weight on Wii Fit. Do they come in different sizes? I'm short and need my feet to touch the ground while sitting on it... Are they worth the $$$ or do you think it will collect dust? How much do they cost??

Yea! Wahoo!
My Wii Fit finally announced today "that's Normal" instead of "thats over weight! Yay!!!! 24.9 BMI 135.8 lbs.

Dangerous siren call of my old eating habits
So I decided I would eat what I want for Christmas and just try to keep my portion sizes down. The problem was I had a lot of little portions.
