The roadmap to a new & improved me

March 22, 2012

I mentioned that I had some homework from my therapist which I have diligently been progressing since my last appointment. Although not really.

Goals at any weight

March 20, 2012

I really enjoyed the session with my dietician/psychologist on Saturday, but have been struggling to write about it because we covered so much.
