try to gradually implement changes, too many changes at once can be stressful as i'm sure you're aware. i'd have plenty of weeks where i'd be good for a few days in a row and then completely ruin myself for several days and feel like i lost all my progress. try to remember it's an iterative process and what's important is continuing to make the effort.

U Can Do It

Hey--thanks for the response! I've actually been taking quite a few small steps as of late trying to work out my situation! I've actually seen quite a change in myself this past month or 6 weeks or so. (Not necessarily in terms of weight, although since the beginning of the new year I've lost about 10 pounds?) But...this past month has been on a sort of upward trend. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to me ^.^

Hey, Mahou! I do! I don't use it so much anymore, but it still exists and I can log in to the actual program if that's a good place to hit you up! I've been using the web browser version, additionally, I left all of my servers, so...Yeah! Anyway, let me know if you send me a message on there so I can make sure I get it!, I'm eva#8427 ^.~
