Questioning the Question

Make sure the questions are right. If the questions aren't right, the answers will be all wrong.

Today's Observations
I've really been watching myself when I'm feeling called to eat. Most of the time, it's not when I'm hungry. Today I only ate when I was hungry. Weird! What's funny is that Mo and I were getting a little peckish while shopping and chose the candy. Why we didn't choose a piece of fruit or something is (almost) beyond me. About 30 minutes after eating it, I got really flushed and felt nauseous. Then... it passed. Good lessen for me: eating something that has a strong emotional tie (candy = fun times! ; ) may not always bode well physically. It also helped me redefine "convenience foods."
