I can’t believe how out of control I have been. After three and a half months of tracking what I eat on Daily Plate, I completely stopped ….. and my eating went WAY out of control. I have had a week long binge. That’s the only way to describe it.  Honestly, I probably ate between [...]

I ate so bad yesterday … I can’t even talk about it!!!! Yuck!!!

Still eating too much this week. Today will be better. Lately, days off have actually been better than work days, and I have a stretch of days off right now.
