It is important that you write down the things you want to cover with him before you go in. Take some time to think about it and organize your thoughts on paper. I have to do that every time or I just blabber away with no direction. You will be fine. Look at it as the first day of the rest of your life in a positive direction toward wellness. You can do this. I admire you for taking this step. It is one of the most difficult. Hugs, Shelly

Say a prayer before you go in that this session will be for your higher purpose.

And then report back to us.

Caffine intake sugar drugs and alcohol.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
