Yes Barbara! I feel the same.

I think that's one of the major challenges of dietary transformation. Most people simply can't or won't commit to forever.
Best wishes to us!

I find that even here, my energy to help others was waned tremendously. I was so gung ho at first, I was ready to help everyone make this happen. Over time, it has become an effort for me, sorry to say.
Yes, most people either won't or can't commit to changing the way they eat forvever. It gets really old hearing all the whining and complaining and then no action is taken. I wanna scream "JUST DO IT!"
I know that I was one of those people for many, many years. Me? change the way I eat? Never! I just need to go on a diet'!
I also knew that if and when I did ever lose the weight, finally, that I'd work hard to never regain. So far, that is what has happened for me.
Yes, thanks Barbara, best wishes to us!!
