Hi KristinMarie, great to hear the positive progress! It must be really hard having an athletic background and not being able to jump right back where you were!

I have a couple by Jim Rohn (don't know who he is but like his quotes) "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan.

Hi guys, I'm trying to quit bingeing too! Had an awful 5 day binge last week but been ok this week so far. Not counting calories at the moment as sometimes I find this triggers bingeing, just trying to eat healthy and cut out refined sugar and alcohol (I like wine far too much!)
