Dear Bettina,

Hang in there. I know it's really hard to get going on things we don't like to do. My own taxes are sitting here on the table and going nowhere! It sounds like all the things you've had to do for the week have been 'work' and no 'play'. Maybe you need to do something fun for yourself and relax some. For myself, when taxes hang over my head, everything seems harder since I dislike red tape and paper work so much. Thank you for being so honest about your lethargy. It is an important symptom, especially if it continues.

I think putting the scale away is a healthy thing to do. So I think you're making progress with your emotional state. As for the physical, weight thing, it's normal for weight to vary and sometimes plateau on a diet. Don't think so much about losing weight as about being as healthy as possible. That will help you to keep eating right even if the weight doesn't change for a week or so.

Thanks for your update.
