This was a great thread! I wish I would have read it last year...but I had my head buried in the sand over the holidays. This is the first year I’ve tried to stay on plan. It seems I always take an unofficial “diet” vacation from mid November—my birthday, until mid January, when the carbage is cleaned out and my pants are tighter. That didn’t happen this year and I’m sure it’s in large part due to the friends I’ve made here, the articles I’ve read, and the members here who are living examples that this can work for me too, true success stories.

Wishing you all the very best for 2019. May you reach your goals, make new friends, and live peacefully with those around you. 💕
