Listened to your show just now, and would like to let you know how insightful it was for me.

I just realized I "comfort shop" with food. I have always had a very large pantry. It doesn't get wasted, but it is a walkin pantry that I keep completely stocked, even though it is just my husband and me.  It occurred to me it could be a "comfort" issue, because my mother was alcoholic, and there was very little food in the house, even less on the weekends she'd take off. My two sisters and I were often left from friday to monday with condiments in the refrigerator, some basic staples like flour, and not much else. I was the "cook" for my two sisters. Your show helped me see the psychological aspect of why I feel a strong urge to shop again, when the pantry has only been reduced by about one fourth. Great eye-opening show!

I've subscribed to your newsletters since 98, and am glad to finally hear you. Thanks for the work you do on your website, it's an amazing resource.
