Those are great points!!! It's so true, because it's easy to get discouraged, especially when looking at others and thinking, I'll never be that thin. But we should only judge against ourselves, it's important that WE are improving. I feel so much better (finishing my second week) then I have in a long time. It can only get better, right??
