Resuming, returning, hello

Good morning all. I’m a restarter – same name and profile picture, because, well, however much things may have changed, I’m still the same person.

I’m about to turn up at the weigh in, with no progress to report - yet.

I’ve spent the morning lurking, and I see a few names I recognise – it’s so good to not feel a complete stranger. How wonderful to see @bridgegirl, @moreless, @wa2un7, @RG07, @elliebath , @salcheq, @motherofboys – hello to you all, and to anyone I’ve not stumbled across yet! (Who have I missed???!!!) You are my role models ☺️

So despite the ‘same,’ since I first joined in 2018 my life has changed beyond what I would have imagined – I guess all of yours have as well. I hope most of the changes have been for the better.

And the forum looks different, but it looks like the encouragement and support are still there, even stronger.

I remain vegan ‘for the animals,’ and my interest right now is in moving away from ultra-processed foods. I don’t know if I can eliminate them completely, but I’m beginning to recognise the danger of UPFs, and I believe we all agree on the healing power of plants. I’d love to hear from anyone who has explored this. I’m just beginning to learn about it, and it feels like a big but transformative step, however much of it I can achieve.

In any case I’m looking forward to getting to know you again, and making new friends, and perhaps joining your book club? Thank you for having me back.
