  • I am living proof of this. Once upon a time, I was a sweet person, who freely gave love to everybody, but always at the expense of myself.

    in “Self Compassion” Could Be The Key to Weight Loss Comment by starace March 2011
  • Nah, you are doing well. :) This has happened to me and a friend of mine, and I am sure to many, many others! As some of you mentioned, people just don't get used to our new self.

I see your achievements as amazing and…

  • For better or worse, I have always known that show by name, but never watched it. :P However, it is a source of inspiration for many, for better or worse as well I am now slim, actually skinny (:P), from being really overweight, but I did it naturally over the span of two years, going on until now. I certainly don't…

  • Yep! Of course, make it up with exercise and careful calorie counting the next day. Chocolate is never a bad thing. ;) Just don't make it a habit. :) No need to feel guilty.
