Activity

Thank you, Allison!! One thing I’m finally experiencing is that the food noise is really lessening. I had a small wave about an hour or 2 ago, had some coffee, and I realized just now that I completely forgot about wanting to eat. This is huge for me.

What a wonderful update!!!!  So glad to hear your ideas and thought process.

Sending lots of good thoughts, Elizabeth.

Great question, Elizabeth! I enjoy Michael’s story also.

I hope things are going great Ava! I come here often, even if there is no one active. The video chats help get me through cravings, and to remind me why I am doing this.

🥳🥂🎉
