Thanks for the head-bonking, Emily. I probably deserved that. Where do you draw the line though between encouraging and just sharing understanding? Sometimes it is good just to be understood and to know that someone else has similar thoughts, feelings, and even behaviors. My Health Psychology professor even admits to eating cookies for breakfast sometimes. She even joined my vegetarian chocolate addicts club. Anyone else want to join up? So far I have two members, counting myself. She said chocolate tastes better than prozac.

My kids ate oatmeal for breakfast today. We ran out of the packets so they had to make it from scratch. They're pretty good about that, and oatmeal is a good, nutritious hot breakfast. We homeschool, and I have my 12-year-old daughter working on a Nutrition unit study. But you can go ahead and sign me up for the "do-as-I-say-and-not-as-I-do" award.

This morning I am finding out (again) why it is not a good idea to not eat and take diet supplements at the same time. I drank some dieter's tea yesterday. The stuff doesn't usually bother me, but now it's got my digestive system tied up in knots. Ouch! The stuff has Senna in it - a laxative. If I serve no other purpose in life, I can always serve as a bad example.
