one on....one off......sorta
Hello everyone! Just wanted to get some feedback on a “diet” trick my Dr and I have agreed on. I said something about it on a personal space recently and had a certain person really jump on me about it (told me I was stupid and would never loose any weight – that even a ten year old was smart enough to know better –…
