I think this is the best way to handle things... and I STRIVE to be that way.
Of course if you're not making progress... and you've crafted your OWN plan... then maybe it's time to CHOOSE one that has worked for a lot of people and stick with the rules and be patient with your loss.
I've seen sooooo many get frustrated because they want the weight off NOW although it took YEARS to put it on.
When something works well for you.. whether you're an ex-smoker, ex-addict, or a successful dieter... it's HARD not to glow so brightly that you burn the very posters you're trying to enlighten. In fact, those people can sometimes reach those that the tolerant supporters can't.
I think there is room for both... and room for tolerance too. What a boring world this would be if we were all the same.
Now.... can someone please explain to me what I just said?? It sure felt right while I was typing it!
