Newbies-please-read-me-2nd-edition.
Just read this through for the third time and always find something that I did not take in the last time :wink: . (Suppose our brains only absorb what they need at the time).

What is love to you?
Love is not being too hard on myself when I overeat. Love is realizing that I am imperfect and that I won't do everything right. Love is being forgiving. Love is being patient.
