What the heck are those triggers for me? Diet soda is now one that will stop me dead. Boredom, looking for something to eat, is dangerous, too, because after a while, you start to rationalize. After getting bored with cheese and jerky, you'll think a piece of uncle Harry's birthday cake won't hurt, and then you're back in its grip.
Started a journal today! I think it's helping to focus my mind on what I need to do.
