Okay Judy now you really have to tell us the pea soup story, inquiring minds want to know!

If I am really craving something the two things I try are: first I tell myself I am allowed to have whatever, but I will do something else first. Sometimes that delaying tactic will do the trick. If I still find myself craving whatever 20 minutes or so later, I will allow myself I small portion of it. Very few foods are so unhealthy that they cannot be eaten, it is all in the portion and frequency. Whenever I make a statement like "I am giving up . . . it is all I can think about. All things in moderation is more successful for me.

Pam I don't envy you the moving, boy do I hate that. It does make you do a really deep cleaning though someone else gets to enjoy it!

I have been watching my salt intake, but I know I could do better. I will work on that this week. Working on positive thinking. Why is it negative thinking comes naturally, but we have to work at thinking positively?
