[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1220142, member: 88961"] We all have our own views on those emotive words; cured, reversed, and resolved. For me, resolved feels a decent description. "We" discovered how to keep our health in the healthy window, and we understand what could well help us back-track to the less favourable numbers. I’m a visualiser, so if I apply my rationale to something simple, I’ll go for feet and blisters. I have small feet. I’m a small person. If I wear size 3 shoes, unless I get lucky, the shoes are a bit wider fit, and my feet stay very cool, I’ll likely develop rubbing, blisters and discomfort. Those could be on my heel or on my little toe perhaps. If I keep wearing those shoes, they may stretch a bit, or I’ll develop blisters on blisters, which could get nasty, in terms of infection or scarring. If I’m much more sensible and wear size 3.5 shoes, I rarely see blisters, rubbing or discomfort. OK, first time worn, the shoes might be stiff, but both shoes and feet will usually adapt easily. Isn’t this a variation on what we are doing when we re-calibrate our diets? By modifying, testing and reviewing, it’s a bit akin to having our feet measured. When we realise a 3.5 is better than a 3, are we curing the blisters, reversing the problem or resolving the root cause of our blisters? When we talk about “going back to how we were”, surely that’s just the same as being seduced by a very cute pair of shoes in a sale that we’ll never really wear as they hurt us, but we just can’t resist "at that price"?
