Repeated yoyoing -- Need diet buddy?
Every time I lose weight and start feeling "thin," I think that I'm free to eat whatever I want. Then I gain and return to a point of feeling "fat," and I start counting calories again, until I feel "thin" and the cycle repeats. How do I get off this roller coaster of weight gain and loss? I'm only talking about 5 or 10…
