Oh yeah, I DO wish someone would have told me about this. I didn't what the heck was going on. I was a bit frightened by it, in fact. I never get a good shave anymore. It's simply impossible to get in there. They need to develop a narrower head on the shaver. When I go to the beach, I actually have to ask one of my daughters help me to shave.
No one told me lots of stuff. Just a few that come to mind:
That I could actually gain control.
That just because there's food there (available) - doesn't mean that I HAVE to eat it.
That I could live without ice cream and nothing terrible would happen to me.
That exercise is not the devil.
That by elminating practically all added sugars, my tastes for them would greatly, GREATLY diminish.
That my tastes would change andI would actually
crave healthy foods.
That shopping would be so much fun.
That I would have so much extra room in my underwear drawer. Small sizes take up waaaay less space.
That being thin feels better then any of that "stuff" ever tasted.
And the biggest one of all:
That I had the ability to lose weight the whole time. The whole freakin' time. That I was CAPABLE of it.
