But the past is the past! Nothing can be done to change it, so I learn and progress and move on.
I'll have to try the warm lemon water - thanks for the tip! 
I actually JUST ordered a GWF. I'm a bit worried about number obsession too, but my hope is that the numbers might actually prompt me to eat MORE. I guess I've always had this fear that I burn virtually nothing all day, and I'd like to think this isn't the case! Maybe if the numbers are higher than I suspect, I will be more willing to up my intake....here's hoping!  |
LMAO I feel the same way about my adolescent self. I wish I had the patience (or confidence) at that time to just ride it out without trying to change myself in some drastic way. Maybe then I'd know what I'm "supposed" to weigh and not have to deal with so much joint pain or massive water weight swings.
You mean there are two of us?!? I thought I was the only one in this world without a functional resting metabolism! I'm hoping right along with you that you are pleasantly surprised by the GWF's readout. I'm SO tempted at the moment to order one. Did you get the wristband as well?
Thank you for the warm welcome!
