I gave up all dieting for 2 years and focused completely…

Jades, thank you for sharing this! I am at a point where I am so discouraged and ready to give up. It seems that as soon as I make serious progress, life happens and I can't keep going for one reason or another. I needed to see this today. THANK YOU!
