Thanks guys for your thoughts and input...
Stevie, I really identify with the thoughts of "I had one and threw it out and needed one; I'd better not toss this one" - I've been working on that. I've had the experience of tossing something then 'pining' for it the next day, but within a couple of days it's completely forgotten and I could care less, so I'm trying to remain conscious of that fact...
And Citrine, thanks for your comment, which made me laugh! I've always been pretty slim, but just this year a bit of a belly started to appear , so I'm working on getting rid of it by.... drumroll please... eating less!
