" Jokey,
thanks for this post, I still have some goodies in the house but since I wrote my goal 2 days ago I have not bought new ones. Of course I have avoided going to the store. I can't believe that someone else OD on double stuffed oreaos last week that is exactly what I did. 2 Packages!!!! Hmmm this is intersting that we are all drawn to sweet stuff. Also for the past 2 weeks it seems my heartburn is worse so even though I take meds I think the doc is goin gto have me take a test to find out more what's going on. Anyway thanks J I think at least talking about this might help reduce the temptation.....mctrjt "
