I meant to do a long post about how my eating “urges” and not just habits, have changed along with some before and after pics, but this morning was one long technical difficulty.

I’m actually writing this on my phone, which is limiting, but good practice for blogging from Anaheim. I figure it’s easier than dictating blog posts to the housesitter over the phone.
