Small Achievements.
I still weigh the same after nearly a week of diet and exercise. But I’m optimistic. I made it to the gym 4 days in a row, 3 times today and 3 days yesterday, and today, discovered an iPhone app called “Loose It!”
It’s a simple app, tell it how many calories go in, and how many you burn. If you do activities (like walking) that are hard to measure, you can guestimate with...

When I was 23 I was tired of feeling this way, so...
