Hi Char. You are in the right place, and you know how to start. That's great!
You are totally right, the brain healing is more important than weight. I was really thin when I started this program, but I was totally miserable. Being thin doesn't solve the problems. I just found other reasons to hate myself.

Happy holidays!
