I didn't talk to my doctor. I am in good health and very good form, having gone into remission in April. I did a lot of reading and thought it was both safe and beneficial to do so. We'll see how it all comes out!

I reread this today, just because I loved how aware you became of food and how it influences our behavior and lives.

Do you feel like generally you are able to delay gratification? I am very impulsive so I feel like as soon as those kids got the pop corn I would be secretly squirreling it away embarrassingly.

I do have pretty good willpower once I decide to do something. After a day my willpower got stronger because if I ate something, it would undo all of the work, all that not eating would be for nothing! That was a good motivator.
