Shalini, I am so glad that you are already seeing a shift in your thoughts at week 3! I have noticed a difference in myself after week two.

I was able to go to the store down the street to pick up some refreshments even though I was extra anxious and sick to my stomach. I usually don't do ANYTHING when I feel like that. I ...
