Yes, I have this. I have addressed it various ways through the decades. Hugs to you.

Being kind to yourself is good advice. I would love to join you in your journey.

Nothing wrong with seeking help. Help is always here. You are living a life and life is not easy. You are not alone. Help is around you.

You are not alone! I also feel some stress around the food of the holidays. Some good advice here. I just wanted to offer some support!

Great advice here. I just wanted to respond with some support. I hear your story and can relate.

Oh, Naomi, this speaks to me and, I know, to many. Coming into self compassion and love has been a journey spanning years, decades. The work is not done...it just shifts. Keep reminding yourself that you are worthy, and showing yourself this. It may take a lot of practice. Hold yourself, comfort yourself, inspire yourself.…

Feel free to add me!

My journey to understand my food addiction began when I was 18 and now I am 41. I have overcome a lot just through understanding the emotional components and addressing those. I realized that sheer willpower was not ever going to work. I had to pop the hood and look deep within at my traumas in order to understand my…

Food addiction is more common than some may think. For me, there is an emotional component to it, and this needs to be addressed and healed before I can change my food habits. When the emotions are acknowledged and seen, then the healing can begin.

I was vegan for a couple years and I found that subscribing to vegan recipe blogs helped me stay upbeat about my diet. I used a recipe app to import recipes from blogs that looked good, and then just fished in my app when I felt like I needed inspiration. I also read a lot about veganism and how to get enough vitamin B12,…

Hi! I just began OMAD fasting again (I am on day 5). I did OMAD and also 5/2 fasting for two years, about five years ago. But, I have a need to return to fasting for a time again.

I love to cook...really to eat, but then good cooking goes with that for me. It's delightful to find something that is easy, tasty, and healthy that you made yourself. I loved to read about your new-found passion here!

I am not in Snapchat but am on Instagram. I post my workouts and some other fitness and health-related things. @metaphysicalstudio

Hi! My goal is less about losing weight and more about feeling well in my body. I like to enjoy exercise and have community around wellness. Please add me!

Welcome!

Nothing wrong with continuing your workouts at home if it suits you! No need to be who you were before. Go with what feels right in the moment.

I am studying for my personal training certificate now, but I have been a fitness and yoga instructor since 2006. I love moving into personal training. It is very motivational for me!

I take 1-2 rest days per week, depending on my needs.

Motivation is a fickle friend. Developing a routine or a lifestyle is a better approach. It can time awhile to develop, but it has more staying power than willpower or motivation.

I wish MFP had a bit of a more inviting and intuitive way to connect with people!

I find friends on here by doing a keyword search in the search bar for the discussion boards. The keyword is based on my interests or needs. Get those friends! 👍🏽

There is much to know when weightlifting and it can feel overwhelming and perhaps make one feel self conscious when just beginning. The gym, too, can bring feelings of anxiety. Speak well of yourself to yourself when you're there! Lift yourself up. You can do hard things. Be kind to yourself. Take each day in the gym as a…

I practice yoga. I teach classes and take them. I prefer gentle/restorative classes and Hatha.

I am consistent!

I think that most fast food is tasteless and gross.

Great work!

Get it!

Good luck to you on your journey!

I came from SP, which I used back in 2006 until they sold out. Welcome!
