After dinner - went to play board games with some friends. Completely succumbed to a sleeve of Ritz crackers - oh how I love them! Bad bad ritz crackers had a ton of crackers, a plate of microwave popcorn, a no sugar added cocoa and 1/2 granola bar. Le sigh. Even knowing the triggers isn't enough to save me sometimes!!! At least I was able to STOP EATING the crackers before I ate the whole sleeve.
