Thanks, dear ladies!
Tyler, I already feel so much better - just being in control a little more each day, and at the same time not so obsessed with food and weight anymore. Just knowing that I am capable of turning this thing around has given me peace of mind. Now, even if my weight is stuck at 160 again for a couple of months, I will be fine with that.
Mel, I got the book yesterday and have started reading avidly (when I really should be studying for my upcoming teacher certification exam, ahem). Can't wait to start!
sh3l5: thank you! And good luck to you too!
