Food, activity, sleep, and mindset. These are the four pillars of WW’s approach to weight loss.

Carol, I changed teachers because although I liked my teacher, he would sometimes use my teaching time to share some of his problems with me because I am a licensed counselor. I didn’t know how to tell him it wasn’t appropriate. It stopped for a while after he got a therapist as I suggested but it happened again and I just felt I couldn’t deal with it. It really is too bad because I did like him.
I signed up with another school for 4 lessons but the thing I don’t like is that you have to pay for a whole semester and if you need to miss one, they don’t offer makeups no matter what the reason is. I’ll see how it goes.
