Hi,

I posted recently asking for encouragement, and instead I ended up having to explain and defend the program I'm following. That was my fault for bringing up my program when really all I wanted was someone to tell me I can do this and to not give up. I made the mistake of thinking people would be familiar with my program and that they would support a non-mainstream program. I did get a few good tips, but mostly I ended up more frustrated than before that the conversation turned from its original intent.

So, I'm going to try again, and I'm going to try to be more direct about what I need and what I'm asking for. I do not want to discuss my specific program. I want to discuss what has helped you to keep going when the journey seems so long. I would appreciate encouragement to continue when the changes I need to make seem insurmoutable. I would love to hear what types of things have helped you when you feel alone in your journey and struggling to maintain what you have accomplished when you still have so far to go.

Thank you!
