I'm all cookied out

At least I hope I am all cookied out. I am so mad at myself, I had to buy new, larger pants to wear to work. Time to knuckle down and get some weight off. Dan wants to lose a few pounds before his ski trip at the end of January, so we will attempt to count calories. I really need to lose for health reasons these days. My blood pressure has been up, and I can no longer blame it on "white coat hypertension". I eat a healthy diet most days, with fresh food I cook myself. Portion control is my problem -- I am a classic "volume eater". If I don't have a huge mound of food in front of me I am not happy. I wonder if I starved to death in a former life?
