dwilliams, congrats on your progress!

wildchildflower, I'm glad to read that you found an eating approach that not only works, but excites you. The latter is so crucial to success!

I'm hoping that everyone here feels (or will feel) better, physically, or finds success in pursuits to do so.

I'm OK, physically. I wouldn't say I'm exactly dieting, but I haven't been really overeating that much. I have splurged on certain desserts, but they have been "lightened" versions of them. I guess that's some progress. I haven't weighed myself yet this week, but I'm still fitting into the smaller size jeans. In fact, they even feel a little less tight.
