Hey, you are spending too much time bashing the men! Forget them- concentrate all that energy on YOU! You are doing this for yourselves, no one else . So enjoy your successes, meet your bad days head-on and be POSITIVE. don't listen to naysayers. read my previous post. I think that having a positive mind frame is part of this working. Think of all the people who cured themselves with their mind. I get down too and frustrated if I don't see a change on the scale. Change up your diet and eat something else on the list that you not had in a while, It worked for me. everyone is different- just keep the faith.
