No pressure for success

Hello fellow health nut friends. I am totally new to not just MFP but of sharing my challenges and the mental exhaustion of "dieting" which I am convinced is not the right frame of thinking to me.

In a nutshell, I was extremely active about 2 years ago. Hiking, jogging, gym, kickboxing the whole works. Then I went through a drastic life change that left me emotionally paralyzed. At the same time my eating habits were, "lets say not healthy." I then lost a lot of weight. This past year I learned the reason for my lethargy and absolute exhaustion from even minimal physical activity. Wen to MD for a check up and was admitted to ER same time for being Critically Anemic.

So I have repaired myself emotionally and I am the happiest I have ever been as an adult because I control my life now. I proud and grateful to commend me for the hard work as well as the few people that directly went through the journey with me..

So I have the anemia under control but remain cautious.. Its time to leave the old style in the past.. This time Im not going to diet. I am focused on becoming and remaining HEALTHY, and in turn I am sure to lose the weight and this way, Ill enjoy the goal and not feel like a criminal as if there was a time line.

If this is your style, you are welcome to come and share. I can support anyone with positive feedback. Please only respond with truthful real life experience and present dignified help for others and yourself.

Thanks in advance. Look forward to chatting in the near future.

Summer Y (*)
