QuiltE, this is great!

NYC - I love how you said that choc knows your name - it definitely feels like that!
I'm not overweight either just getting older and don't want to have to be on pills for anything if I can help it. I wonder if it's related more to discipline because everything is emotional anyway. Like, if I'm having a bad moment and I run for a kiss, I'm emotionally dependent on the comfort I think that kiss will bring. But if I have the discipline to not actually eat one, maybe I will have more control over how I react to the situation that made me feel like the kiss would resolve it.
