Jammi - junk food

[Guest guest]

Hey, we all have our own goals and strategies that work for us, and if they

don't work, we can change them. I counted calories for a while, but got

bored. Now my goal is to only have dessert (I'm a serious chocolate

lover) on days that I go to aerobics -- but not until AFTER class! We

have to reward ourselves for our good behavior.
