Almost 4 weeks on Reta now, and one pleasant unintended result has been dropping 18 pounds or a little more. Honestly, though, that number matters least to me in all of this. Last autumn brought some awful traumas my way, and I truly felt my grip on eating slipping away… The only comfort that seemed to touch the grief was Hallmark movies alongside vanilla ice cream. The grief is still with me, but now I wake up each day with fresh hope for my life. Delighted to be part of this space, and I can't wait to read and learn—thank you.
