It must be super tough to not have anyone there to help you make the healthy decisions. Would it help you to make a grocery list before you go to make sure you won't be tempted to buy junky stuff?

Thanks for the welcome, Audrey. I always do make a list before I go shopping, but I find that when I get there, I get the "kid in a candy store" syndrome, and I wind up throwing a few "extras" in to the cart when the cravings kick in! I'm sure my will-power is deep down inside somewhere - I just need to figure out how to get it to come back out!
