Congratulations on wanting to make positive changes in your life! As Rav Isaac Luria once stated: “Change is what happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changing.” Limiting sugars and taking steps to get proper nutrition is always a wonderful thing!

I used to run after happiness as if I thought it was some magical box hidden away somewhere and all I needed to do was find it and open it up. That is, until I realized that happiness is a state of being in which, we must make a conscious effort moment by moment in order to remain there. Of course, sadness and unhappiness have benefits for their fleeting moments...but happiness is something we much continuous reach for. I'm sure you know these things.

Yes, you certainly do deserve all good things!

I wish you well on your journey and know you have my full support, just as you have supported me in so many ways!
