    It’s a weird thing, aging. You feel exactly the same as you did 10,15,20 years ago but now your hair is throwing up gray streaks and your skin don’t lie

    Not me... I'm in my prime sugar sugar sugar... 😏

    I'm honestly in the best years of my life rn... But I've got kinda a unique story I suppose... 10yrs ago I could barely walk down the street and 15yrs ago I was probably worse off because I was high as a kite all the time 🤷🏽‍♂️...

    I'm only getting younger, my heart and head are in a better place as well... But I must remember the story of Job and realize at any moment all this could change 🤷🏽‍♂️

    It did change; 10-15 years ago.

    If I'm remembering Sunday school correctly, Job's life went through a series of nothing but deeper and deeper valleys and then he was restored - and, arguably, abundantly compensated for his tenacity - until the end of his days.

    Congratulations on the come up, my friend. I don't know all your details but what you just shared was touching.

    I mean.. ‘valleys’ is extremely euphemistic for having lost everything including his children while dealing with full-body boils and a wife who wished he would just die already 😬

    I feel so much better than I did 30+ years ago. Just wish I had thicker hair, and less wrinkles. :)

    I feel the story of Job is often misunderstood... I think the important take away is to remember that if God were take away his protection from any of us, we to may lose faith just as Job did...

    So I relate this to my weightloss... I was only able to do what I did because God protected me and gave me the strength and direction to do so... If he were to lift his protection from me, I too might lose my will and faith just as Job did...

    There is nothing that I can really take credit for, it's not that I have discipline, or self control, or found motivation... That's just a lot of self righteous ego talk...

    There are many that have way more discipline and all that than I have, who still struggle to lose weight...

    I just could never look at someone who was where I was and say they need discipline or self control... Everything is within or something 🤷🏽‍♂️

    When you get to menopause, you will feel completely betrayed by your body.

    😂 we were just talking about menopause last night.

    Maybe we need a private group/thread. So I know what to prepare for. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

    I'm just gonna say "potato" here instead of posting what I meant to post, then having to go back and edit it to just say "potato" but suffice to say this fantasy hits very close to home

    You do seem like a man who likes his guns

    Sorry, I just meant like some heavy emotion. Have you tried a weighted blanket?
