Thanks, this is a good reframe for me- I am AT goal weight now. It is reasonable. I've been skinnier but I don't have to be, especially since I'd prefer to gain muscle. Thanks.

Yes, used to be called "getting in shape" lol yes that's my goal! I need to remind myself I can get in shape now without the calorie deficit. Thanks for that link! Easy, happy habits! Love that! Definitely helped during weight loss too. And I like the idea of focusing on my new goals. I have been very focused on the scale…

I'll look into hypertrophy focused, thanks! And thanks for sharing your experience. I'd be fine with a super slow loss if I was still seeing good performance in exercising. I'm ready to not feel like I'm on a calorie deficit anymore so whatever feels right and doesn't make me gain I'll go with.

That is so motivating! Nice to see I can still make the changes I want without a calorie deficit at this point. Thanks.

This is a late reply but here goes: The book Atomic Habits was helpful to me. I looked at my emotional eating habits and adjusted them. The biggest one was as soon as my kids went down for naps or down at bedtime I would immediately want to eat a large amount of ice cream, etc. to relax. I switched it for new habits-…

Hi! I relate to this a lot. My main coping was emotional eating and tv for a long time. If it's helpful here are the coping skills I use now. (I personally still use tv, I just recognize it as "neutral" as long as it's for a shorter time period) Movement- going on a walk outside helps a ton. House walking works too…

Thank you @NewLIFEstyle4ME !! It does feel amazing to learn to trust yourself, trust your process or trust you can keep striving towards finding a process. I'm grateful for your positivity and I'm happy for your inspirational success! <3

Hi friend! After having a challenging winter I am emerging from my personal crisis and doing better (despite the global challenges we are facing now). Since the pandemic was announced my goal has been to do meditation everyday to help relieve anxiety and give me focus. It has helped so much and I've seen some other…

I agree with others saying it is probably your uterus, and also looking into anterior pelvic tilt. This YouTuber has videos on posture correction exercises. https://youtube.com/watch?v=2NZMaI-HeNU&list=PLFBizIyYw93eg07IPpRQYgoNtQ9W6ECtV&index=2 Anterior pelvic tilt is very common. Nothing to feel bad about!

I started seeing a therapist for postpartum last year. I asked her for help with emotional eating and she said- just practice compassion for yourself- have compassion when you want to overeat and don't, have compassion when you do. So basically she wouldn't really help with the issue? Maybe she thought I wasn't in a place…

It's relaxing and fun, similar to coloring books for adults, except you get to use it like a planner after coloring in it. Creative expression and organization in one- great coping for stress/anxiety.
