    Reducing my back pain!! :s

    I highly recommend the book “Healing Back Pain” by Dr. John Sarno. I had debilitating back pain for years and this helped me fix it. Here’s an article about the book:

    and the GoodReads page, with gazillions of reviews:

    This message is from 2015. Can you confirm if you made it into a size 8 as well? Were you able to maintain the size 8? I've been struggling with ups and downs in sizes. It's a battle to maintain one size.

    @stegeem and @NotGvnUp_EJ (and anyone else who wants more accountability): check out the Ultimate Accountability Challenge, and if you like what you see, come join us! (The group is set to private for the month, but you can still join.) We're a friendly and supportive group working on three daily goals together. I think this could be just what you need.

    I second the Sarno recommendation. When I read it, I thought, "Um... yeah. Right." I happened to be on vacation visiting family. I had suffered back pain that was at time debilitating for decades. At some point I got up from the sofa and was pain free. I remained pain-free for many years, and only recently has a TINY bit come back. It's not very often. It's not debilitating. It doesn't last.

    I went back to my physical therapist after I got back from vacation that time. I told her about my experience. She said, "Well, you've graduated then. You're free to go." She didn't even charge me for the visit. She didn't take my insurance, and they only reimbursed me for a part of her work, but she was good. She asked about the book, and I bought a copy for her.

    I haven't read "The Divided Mind," but I have a copy around here somewhere.
