Thanks for the welcome.
And, thanks for the tip about the Jello Instant Pudding. We eat pudding *all* the time in our house, but in the past have bought Regular or Sugar Free pretty much indiscriminately. If I wanted Butterscotch and it came in SF, that's what I got. If I wanted Cookie's and Cream and it came in Regular, that's what I got. I know the selection with Regular is actually bigger overall (though not always in stores, thanks to the low carb phenomena) so I will have no problem sticking to that from now on. So many yummy flavors! (They just came out with cheesecake flavor, but I haven't seen it in my town yet...can't wait to see if it's good. If so, could make it as a pie filling and have "cheescake"!) 
And yes, I certainly understand about bad eating habits. It's a serious concern. I've never been one to eat or not because of body image or whatever, but I've had some pretty bad habits in the past. Skip breakfast because I was in a hurry, then be "too busy" for lunch. Then come home and eat and eat and eat.  Also, if I'm PMSing, I eat like I'm starving, as if I'll never eat again. But the next week, I have no appetite, and often truly forget to eat. Mercifully, whether I was binging on chocolate, being a workaholic, or having unending D, my weight has been almost constant. Amazing really. (Well, I suppose I wouldn't feel that way if I were trying to lose it!--But since that's not the case, I'm set.) Unfortuantely, now those habits lead to much pain, cramping, bloating, etc. So no more!
Oh, I do have a question about coffe. I honestly love the flavor (not the caffine fix or anything, I never needed one to get myself up in the morning, just the flavor). Are there coffee flavored things that are safe (because they don't actually have coffee)? What about those cappucino jelly beans? The website confirms they are dairy-free, so that's a start. Also, what about chai tea? I think I could be happy subing that for hot coffee in the evenings. But does it have too much caffine? I quit drinking black tea and switched to herbal, and that's alright. (Although I can't find a vanilla flavored herbal tea, and that was my other love.) Any words of wisdom on that?
Yes, accountability is so important. If I can be accountable for how I'm living now, and maybe even proud soon, I think I'm doing pretty well. 
And thanks so much. For the record, I think nosy is a good thing. I might need that right now.
