when your scale breaks...get a new one... I stopped weighing myself because my scale broke and I thought I would be fine without one. Big mistake... I am struggling to get rid of the excess weight gain.

Great video - reminds me of some the stretches I did with Pilates exercise with Bands today...

Let's get one thing straight it is not a mental problem but a soul problem. It is funny how when people bring up dealing with real issues in life that suddenly it is compared to being crazy...and someone needs professional help. Calling people crazy for struggling with issues will not motivate them to heal or get out of…

The food pushers wish they could eat what they tell us to eat... it is a form of control...then they end up looking better than us, when they exercised restraint and we did not. 🤔

In my teens and 20s my body felt like that whenever I tried to diet - like your body goes into red alert mode, thinking it is going to starve and that there will be an extreme LACK of something... so it has to preserve itself and resources. It is a huge mental thing... you against your body and mind🤔

I realized I tended to grab at anything sweet when frustrated with work or family drama...which felt out of my control...at least I had control over the snack I am eating & devouring in that moment of panic🤣😋

Why should something be clinically diagnosed for it to be considered a valid problem... is there something wrong with self-diagnosis or introspection?🤔

I am looking for OTHER things to make me feel full or content... healthy goals...even something like a "cheat day" free treat once a week like a salon visit for a facial...some self-care regimen.

cold determination

Yes the brain is always asking for what it is doing anything or WHY IT LOST WEIGHT... for what? 😁😁

find out what your demons are feeding on then starve them😉

Going for a Xmas run with the family...maybe that will work😁

What if at times the emotional drive behind weight gain is stronger than the biological drive to be healthy... mmm.. all about balance... body & mind.. it is funny what the mind may subject the body to.. until the body screams for the mind to pay attention.

Narcissists are threatened by any person who is bettering themselves...instead of getting healthy with them they seek to drag their partners down to their toxic level & keep them there.

Sounds like an abusive partner...recommend reading up on Narcissism. A Narcissist called me fat when I weighed my goal weight...20 kg lighter than I am now.😡

Not exercising is not an option for me... I have tried eating less with no exercise to lose weight...I can eat under the calorie limit and somehow still gain weight. It could be about not moving enough, and if you have to sit at a desk for 8 to 10 hours a day then how can the calories really get burned in the most…

I try to squeeze in 30 min of exercise any time during the day... if I cannot go to the gym, heavy dance routine at home or at least 30 min jogging in the neighbourhood around the block.

I think I gained more than I lost previously... feel like kicking myself. But I believe my soul is trying to tell me something... weight gain is deeper than skin deep... it is an opportunity or some spiritual challenge to want to self-transform.

Does a row machine count as an elliptical work out?

I am realizing that being involved with toxic and abusive people is the main reason why I gained so much weight... If you can know the reason why you gained weight, you can lose it.😥
