. . . Oh HEATHER . . . wouldn't it be wonderful if something like "Fat B Gone" really existed. Afraid all the things currently on the market are probably better named "Money B Gone".
Anyway, Chickie, you are definitely headed in the right direction and with the right attitude as well. Every journey begins with the first step and then we just have to keep on putting one foot in front of the other. The big picture can be so very traumatizing. The 'ten pounds at a time' outlook is so much more realistic.
Good luck to you.
