We went to my sister-in-law’s house for dinner a couple of nights ago to hang out and exchange gifts between the kids. Chanukah had already ended, but this night happened to be the best night to get together. I had just got back from the therapist a few hours prior and had a bunch of [...]

We were supposed to go to a family Chanukah party today, but due to the snowstorm, it was cancelled. I was planning on blogging about how I made out out this party, which is notorious for having really delish desserts.

I thought I would change things up a bit and instead of writing about my daily struggles (and triumphs!), to instead talk about some books that I have read, and still refer to, that have been helpful as I try to wrap my arms around this crazy eating disorder. Before I went to my first [...]
