I fear she is setting herself up for failure. Me im gonna done my suit anyway... . I like the sun and im not going to let a few extra pounds scare me off from doing what i love to do regardless of what it is.

I cant help someone who chooses not to listen to good healthy advice.

Believe me, people with any type of food disorder struggle with this and for me it's SO hard to get that eating more food, or ANY food to lose weight is healthy advice. i STILL 20 years later struggle with not feeling like food is the enemy.
