Welcome, Jessie! Thank you so much for sharing your story...

...for many reasons. Not only so that we have the opportunity to know you better, but also because of the lessons it contained--essentially that if we stop LCing and fall back into old, familiar and unhealthy patterns of eating, WE GET FAT AGAIN REALLY, REALLY FAST!

And what's more (I speak from experience), I believe we gain additional pounds even faster than before because our bodies are so confused.

When I tried CAD 3 years ago, I lost 60-65 pounds. When I fell off the wagon, I packed it all back on plus 30+ more in the blink of an eye.

So, now when I think I'm geting ready to fall of the wagon, I remind myself of how fast pounds pile back on. It might not always keep me secure on the wagon, but it tends to snap me back into reality pretty darn quick.

Good luck to you!

Donald
