I found it funny that Roni posted about resolutions. Just this morning in my spin class I was thinking the exact same thing. Just a few days ago I commited to 25 days of healthy eating and no scale weighing. I wasnt going to wait until January. My spin instructor also reminded me about all the New Years chaos that will be coming to the gym. She told all of us "regulars" to start coming early in January so we can get a bike.

They said to not read that part until youve completely understood all the other principles of the book. Im not quite there yet, so I didnt continue. I have an appt with my councelor today and… Continue
