I realized I have not posted in a while. I teach school and have three in elementary school, so the past few weeks have been busier than usual. It is hard to give up the lazy days of summer.

Still doling well. Yesterday I ate all the appropriate foods, but I worry I am eating too much. So today I am going to really focus on eating, and get a good sense of satisfied without being stuffed.

I guess that is silly, all beginnings are new! But I am really excited about this. I lost 50 lbs on WW years ago, and slowly managed to gain back 30 of it. I haven't been feeling well for months, nothing big, general lack of energy. I read an article about the SBD, and it sounded like it targets all of my issues.
