I read some of the posts where people are struggling with so many things, the major one is their progress and "trying" to eat healthier. I think of you all and wish I could give you all a hug to comfort you. I will give you a little bit of this grandma's point of view.
I had open heart surgery and wouldn't have been here without it. I'm 65 and I want to live a lot longer. I've neglected to behave with eating till very recently. Now I ask you.......do you want to live a long life and feel good.....Love your heart!.....consider nutrition not just low calories although I know they're important. When your body feels good and healthy..you mind will too and you'll gradually love yourself. Every attempt even teeny tiny attempts show that you are truly trying and will help you to learn to be proud of yourself.

Youre very right:) thank you for sharing that. When we experience a near death encounter it changes the way we think and for me, it made me want to take better care of my body and do things I may not have had the chance to, enjoy sports and pushing my body to new limits:) I enjoy food but also make way better choices than I did:) I try to encourage others to do the same, so thank you for the reminder! And Im very happy for you:) Heres to enjoying life!0
