Re: I think it is working!

I love the part about not moving like an old lady and thinking you looked just

fine in the hairdresser's chair.

For me, the excitement about how my clothes fit and what the scale says would be

something of a red flag...Maybe a pale red, but still, something to consider.

It begins the seductive track toward weight loss obsession. " If these clothes

fit now, just think what just a tiny smidgen of dieting could do. " " Uh oh, I'd

better weigh myself after THAT kind of weekend. "

Not saying this is you or your path, of course, just sharing my response.

Best to you all,
