drained.
Working / Worked
I kept a food and exercise diary on my Pocket PC and used it for a year...this worked great!! I went from 243 lbs to 164 lbs in a little less than a year! Unfortunately, I "fell off the wagon" over this past year due emotional stress - I am most definately an emotional over-eater. I'm trying to do this again, though it's a bit over-whelming to "start over".
