This could be a long post that details all of the woes in my life and the discoveries I've made about how I cope but it won't be. I'm just writing it "out loud" so my eyes can see it and my brain can digest it.

I've gained 16 pounds in 4 months without ever reaching my goal.

Time to do what is right. I can figure out the why's while or later but I can't wait to figure them out first.

Ok.

This is the approach that I am using in the Maintenance mode.

It does help to be honest with ourselves. Good for you in writing about what you are feeling. It really does help.

You got off track, you have enough self awareness to realize you need to go in a different direction... Good luck

Just a caveat on the essential oils. Fennel smells like black licorice, and so will your skin.
