You'll send lots of water and some good tea (once you find it) but meanwhile it might be soothing to thank your body for doing its best? Sometimes a little kindness helps everything. You're doing great. You deserve some self-care. :)

So with that in mind, how do I upload a picture?

So here I go again and going to shed the last two thirds of this weight! Whose with me?

You can give up and continue gaining weight each year, diet on and off and ultimately end up weighing more than you want to, or you can accept that this isn't fair, move on, and continue doing what you have to do to lose weight. Which option will leave you feeling the most content?

LOVE this quote! :)

Tripmama, Cadu, Wuv: Love all your new pictures! You are all looking great. Thanks for all being so positive and staying 100% OP. I have been struggling a little lately, but continue to stay true. Just need a little bit of stress to be lifted and then I think I'll be good to go for a while!
