It is the afternoon of day 3 and I am feeling better than earlier in the day. This morning I was barely awake and so, so, soooooooo lethargic. I have pepped up somewhat since then and am feeling pretty good. In fact, I am feeling a surge of energy coming on and it's very exciting.

So I thought I'd share by stats so far, and will continue to do so on a weekly basis in order to keep me honest.

I have started going to a Weight Watchers meeting on a Wednesday to support...

This is something I've felt for many, many years. In order to be successful with this woe, we have to learn to love ourselves.

It's so easy to slip into self-loathing - I'm too fat, I fall off the wagon too often, I'm out of control, my clothes don't fit anymore, so I must be a worthless person.

Well,
I underestimated how tough LCE is.
