Great post Pamperdinny! What I loved about it was the insight you had. Those aha moments are like a gift to me. The next big thing is the whys. I have learned that doing the work is exhausting but that is when the change really happens. I know I have a total diet mentality that I have worked so hard to try and break, 61…

Great progess everyone! As we all know it is so much more than the number on the scale, it is negotiating around everything else in our lives being mindful that food is just food. We do have control over it,even if we dont always feel that way. It doesnt have to have control over us. And we are so much more than the number…

Will be thinking about you and your husband as you approach the surgery date and beyond. It must be extremely scary. Cancer is a very scary word and totally understand around the unknown. Take care .

So have been doing some thinking….I wrote a post a few months back about falling down and getting back up. It’s so true the strength really is in the getting back up. I am not sure exactly why I got off track but glad I am on my way up. I’ve spent too many years being so hard on myself about my weight, it has robbed me of…

Today you are my inspiration. @pameide welcome back and have followed your posts, most people don't have to go through some of the things you have also had to experience, the…

Welcome Lulabelle, I am similar to you about the mental and emotional connection to food. It is at times challenging to dig deep but so worth it. Congratulations on the loss on the scale too. Remember food is just food, it doesn't control you you control it, it may represent something for you like safety, comfort, etc but…

@uyister always good to see your posts. Good luck on your exams but am sure luck has nothing to do with it <3 You are a rock star B) <3

Don't think I will meet my goal this month of 195 as needed to readjust my weight and had a gain last Sunday and Monday. Hoping to get back down to 198 by July 31. For me so important to set and maintain realistic and healthy expectations. In some ways its harder than the actual weight loss if that makes sense. Still down…

Loved the pictures @girlinkaz congratulations on the 50 pound loss.You are amazing. Welcome to the new people joining , great to see your posts.Look forward to seeing more posts.

Loved your answer @goal06082021 So hard to remember sometimes . I just had a gain . I ate pasta on Sunday and then had a hard time with eating homemade cookies on Monday. I also realized that after 8 months and being super focused something else may be happening too. In all the years of unhealthy dieting I would lose and…

Hello welcome all the new people. Congratulations on the engagement @ZeldaHearts. There is a song I love about this man who walks around the outside of a monastery and as he looks inside at all the monks he thinks they must be so wise and strong. So he asks this question to a man he sees walking inside. "What is the key to…
