8. Once again....
Wed Jan 1, 2020, 02:11 PM
Jan 2020

I’ve been losing and gaining back the same 20 lbs (and need to lose about 50 more) for the last 7 years. I do great for 6 months and then I start feeling sorry for myself and the dam breaks and I eat whatever I damn well please. Over and over. I’m 63, maybe I’m just too old to change.
I’ve had luck with Weight Watchers before but hated the new “Freestyle” program (which took away the foods I like!) and quit. Now they’re giving you the choice to go back to the old way and I’m going to try again.
