Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I am a firm believer in managing expectations. I have been kicking my own @$$ in the gym for a year and a half but I know that I will never "see" results until I eat better or get lipo. However, I feel better and my knee hurts way less, which are more gratifying results than any measly weight loss could ever be.
