Ok, so DH takes the family to the mall and he returns with Godiva truffles. No reason, I suppose. He's being sweet. Have I allocated points for this divine treat? no. Do I have points in reserve that I could use? yes. Now the battle begins. A sweet, innocent angel sits on one shoulder. "Jennifer, do you really need this truffle. Sweetie, you are doing so well today and staying OP. It's not worth the points." On my other shoulder sits a vampy, pin-up bombshell. "Jen-Jen, you don't need… Continue

I thought I would put it out there how far I've come so I can cheer myself up after my late night cookie fest last night. In December of '06, I weighed 225 pounds.
