for your words of wisdom and encouragement. I can see from your starting/current/goal weights that you all know what you are doing. I did NOT weigh myself this morning and am trying to hold out until Saturday morning, a full week after I began Induction.

As an Italian who grew up with pasta and bread as dietary staples, this is a very alien way of eating for me. I was hoping that I could count on the scale as a motivator to keep going. Since isn't possible yet, I very much appreciate all of your support.
