Starting over in my 40s
I was a big gym rat in my 30s and in decent shape. Derailed by brain surgery and busy with teens and now in my early 40s I have at least 20 lbs to lose and want to get my strength back. Anyone else hit middle age and suddenly find it a lot harder to stay in shape? Willing to dish out some motivation (or solidarity)?…

Life after thyroidectomy
Hi all, I had a total thyroidectomy five days ago because of suspected thyroid cancer. I'm taking a very low dose of levothyroxine (only 75mcg for 172m/63kg) that will be adjusted in mid-June and am not sure how to make it through the next six weeks. I heard that weight gain is common so worry about that as well as…

Bucket List Trip
After beating breast cancer, my bucket list item has literally fallen in my lap. A trip to Europe. Unfortunately, because of the hormone blocker I'm on to keep the cancer at bay, also causes weight gain and swelling. It's a battle to be sure. The trip isn't until July, so I am doing what I can right now. Tracking my foods.…

Bleh, maintaining isn't maintaining anymore

I secretly wish I could develop Anorexia sometimes. I can't live such a fat life.
Title. I know this is a sign of crippling mental health, but this is what i think very often. I sometimes wish i could develop an Eating Disorder so that I can lose all my weight and start again. This is horrible and I am not able to stop thinking like this. I know this mindset is absolutely bonkers but I wish i could…
