all makes sense, Joanna. One thing that has changed for me (for the better) is that I allow each day to be new. I didn't beat myself up too long about the cookies, and yes, I need to have a recovery plan for quick retrieval in the future. Today I feel better. I was able to get into some smaller pants..as I have put on some weight with my sugar binges, and I guess with cutting back on sugary substances the past week or so have been able to lose a little weight. I am not restricting, so don't think that. I am just trying to eat better.
