The Storm Before the Calm?
The creek in our backyard
After months of “stormy” misery, struggling with chewing and spitting and midnight eating and then quitting those habits but still emotionally-eating, over-eating and making bad choices, I feel like I can see the horizon now.

Though today pretty much any food you can imagine comes in a 100-cal pack, a couple years ago, I gave up on the phenomenon cold turkey.
I realized they were mostly just smaller versions of processed crap. Plus, they weren’t cheap, and if I really wanted a treat, I could make my own single-serve baggie of said treat.
However, at Target yesterday, I found these 100-cal pack gems by Emerald Nuts in my most favorite almond flavor: Cocoa Roast, and I couldn’t resist.
Having previously tried them in the canister before (and fallen in love with them) I picked up two boxes: one to keep at my desk, and one to keep at home. I also might stash a few in my car for road trips! (more…)
