A little insight into the mind of a somewhat resistant, but still hopeful, shopper.

Hi Colleen,

I think that's a great "tip" when discipline is waning, as you said!

I've been much worse... I tend to just give in to temptation! (Yesterday, I bought a whole bunch of cheese crackers while grocery shopping, which frankly speaking, are probably not good for me given the amount I eventually ate yesterday... However, it was a half-price special, how could I resist?)

What you shared is also a good and interesting comment on psychology...

Thanks Colleen for sharing that!

Best wishes,

Dien
