happy candy (ahh!) night

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone, Happy Halloween! I need to apologize because I have not kept up on reading the posts, nor have I responded, and most of all, I have not been eating intuitively. My birthday was yesterday, and my boyfriend's is today and we were with our families all weekend- eating out and birthday cakes and now hallowen candy and what not. Its been a week long of "the last supper." Tomorrow is simply going to be a new day for me, and I am hoping to get back on to the saddle.God Bless-KelleyCarol wrote: How about putting your WHOLE story and some pictures here for inspiration?
