Amy's 2017 Check-In
Happy New Year, everyone! So nice to have a fresh start - and on an S-day to boot! I decided to ask to join in on the one year challenge for this year. One year of committing to sticking with No-S and not being swayed by other fleeting fads or diet techniques. My main goal is sanity around food but ...

Oolala, thank you for your thoughts. You're right - every tough moment is a chance to re-route the brain and build a different default response, and so we actually need these experiences to crop up to make it possible to do that. It does help to reframe it that way, I will try to keep it in mind, be...
