I believe one of the reasons why only 5% of people who lose over 10% of their body fat keep it off is because those of us who have done it know it is not a quick fix and we accept that we will need to focus on our weight for the rest of our lives.

The world doesn’t want perfect! The world wants real! That’s what I tell myself and I know it’s true. They want to know it's not only their lives that are messy.

What fun things totally freak you out? Is it just me or does anyone out there also hate the camera that's whipped out at parties? Does anyone else have the?censorship rule with their friends about Facebook or Tweeted pics? Who else avoids full body shots?? It's been long awaited and very much anticipated but one […]
