I’m the first to admit I have a food "problem." For as long as I can remember I’ve been an "eater". One of those people that feels compelled to eat. I can easily grab a bag of chips and mindlessly knock it off. I have no problem putting down 5-6 slices of pizza. If there’s [...]

I need to turn off anonymous commenting purely for the fact I can’t credit those that make great points on my posts. There were two comments on my BLOW OUT journal that really got me thinking.  The idea I took away from both were so simply inspired…
