Oh my goodness, it is so windy here in Spain today. We do the whole windswept, like, thing in a totally new dimension. The gales are howling.

Did you watch the Repay or Tend Live, the workshop last week, which was Letting Go of the Stress and Struggle of Weight Loss? If you haven't seen it or listened to it, you can Listen to it, you can still watch the replay.

And in that workshop, we talked about, oh, the so dire, dire, dire statistics that are weight loss statistics, which basically say it's difficult to lose weight and out of the people who do lose weight, a big whopping 80 percent of people put that weight back on within five years.

Which means only 20 percent of people keep it off for 5 years. Isn't that kind of a scary and demoralizing thought? But, I think it's also interesting because if we examine why that is, it's going to give us the road map to,...
