Hi everyone:

Sorry for interrupting your Brad and Angelina newsfeed I am seriously not trying to be melodramatic nor overstate (nor assume) my own importance here at YLF , but out of courtesy and friendship to the many women I've come to know here.....

It's time for me to move on from the forum and I won't be a participant any longer. About 6 weeks ago I launched into a 12 week "total fitness/diet" program and wanted not to be talking about bodies and clothes while I worked on this....so thought I would take a hiatus. It's going really well and I'm fully immersed in it. It's also made me realize that I need to feed brain with things that are good for me. Talking clothes and body types and sizes and buying stuff are not those things. I lose sight of who I am , what I look like, and what I want to be thinking about. I am just that nutty , impulsive, lacking-in-self-esteem person who needs to step away in order to maintain her sanity.

I have met so many great women here, and have loved interacting with all of you - whether we personally connected or not. I am active on Facebook (for my work but also personally) and if anyone wants to connect with me there, I'd love to. ( Lisa Pearce) My personal email address is pearce.lisa1@gmail.com and I would also love to keep in touch that way should anyone wish to. lpearce2 on instagram as well.
Don't even with Snapchat - I can barely figure out how to use it.

Anyways - should a meet up in Toronto or Vancouver or Calgary or Minneapolis pop up, remember to shoot me a note! Have a great fall and holiday season everyone - and thanks for all of your support and fun comments over the past two years!

Always,
Lisa
