Hi Linda,

Just wanted to send some positive vibes! Hopefully some distance and a few days away from the "perfection" will get you back in your normal, positive, mental state. Perfection is so boring anyway!

Hi Octavia, Boy, have I been where you are before... itâ€™s not a fun place.

During these breaks, sometimes I tried other diet...

I hear you (all) on the scale â€œdilemmaâ€ of to weigh or not to weigh. While I currently donâ€™t, Iâ€™ll admit itâ€™s still nerve-racking sometimes not to weigh myself.

Octavia,

I LOVE what you said about No S being a training program! It truly is.

Just wanted to empathize with you- it is so hard not to get discouraged when we donâ€™t see that number go down. However, I really believe you will experience positive results soon.

Fingers crossed ðŸ¤ž
