So much easier said than done. One of those things that you have to be careful with but not too careful or else it comes across as fake or manipulating. Hard to do it without making yourself too vulnerable.

We shall see. I've been up and down in weight all my life and really know what I need to do. It's about commitment and lifestyle change. You can be "all in" one minute and then "off the wagon" the next. Hoping for a good week. Heading to the beach in over 3 weeks so wanting to make a go at a solid couple weeks of healthy eating.
