I think it is 10 weeks to Christmas (please:eek::eek::eek:) and in my very humble opinion can I just ask if you think 20 lbs is too much to lose the Old Style way? xI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0
