I have dealt with weight issues most of my life. Tried just about every diet imaginable. I finally came to the realization that I don't need a diet, I need a lifestyle change. I no longer think diet, but think better health. Betr has helped me immensely in making better choices. I love to see the numbers go down on the scale, but more than that, I know good things are happening on the inside. When the scale creeps up, I stop and tell myself "This is not just a weight thing, it's a life time of feeling better and being healthier. The weight loss is an added bonus.
