Steph- yeah, I know it's an oral fixation. I just don't understand what causes it or how to control it. I mean, at the base level it's just the dumbest thing....am I really gonna die if I dont' have something in my mouth? No, of course not.

See my biggest problem with "too much at once" is that my recent bloodwork showed my HbA1c at .03% above a non-diabetic level. Since there's no history of diabetes in my family, it has to be how overweight I am. that really scared me. So I don't think I have much choice. Gotta change things now. Of course, don't get me started on how sure I am that I can't get PG bc of my weight.....

Viki- Thanks! How exciting to meet with your trainer....I'm willing to bet you'll hate him before you're done-but that's his job, right? And yes to keeping the bad food out of the house. DH is dieting with me, and he asked me to get more peanut butter at the store (i dont' really eat it much) but bc he'll make two PB&J sandwiches after dinner, I just didn't buy it.....I'm sure he'll figure it out when he runs out.....*giggles*
