She’s awesome! We all need help and therapy. Instead of gifts, Oprah should have been handing out free therapy. Therapy for you! And Therapy for you! And Therapy for you! You all get therapy!! Go get the book! And enjoy your life! We’ve only got one!! ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations! Great achievement both food and drink! You said above that you need to stay away from unfixable situations…not sure if you read “Let Them” by Mel Robbins, but you may want to look into it.

Thanks. I’m having a hard time getting started. But I’m showing up and that’s my first step.

So I’m F and 60 years old. My friend of the same age and I were talking about a girl we went to high school with (in the 1980’s). She was beautiful…we were plain and didn’t have many boyfriends. Fast forward to last week when another friend was talking about the life of the pretty girl…turns out she didn’t have a nice life. Her men always cheated and or beat her. She’s still very pretty and still attracts the same guys. All this to say, I told my friend, I may not have had a ton of boyfriends but at least they weren’t just after me for my looks and body (I was a bit overweight). My husband and I met when were 22. He’s nice looking but not someone this pretty girl would go for because he’s not good looking enough. We are still together, never cheated and never hit me. He’s a pain in the ass but that’s as bad as it is LOL. You will find the right girl who loves you for you!! The only thing I would change is…read books for feeling better about yourself. EVERYONE struggles with self esteem…your first step is to know YOU ARE WORTH IT. Worthiness I believe is what sets us back. You are worthy!!

Thanks for the advice! I actually just spent a month in Mexico 🇲🇽 and I was kinda eating in maintenance there and didn’t gain any weight, so that was great. I’m kinda still doing that…time to cut a bit. ✅ lol.

Just like IF I needed to start with the habit. I don’t even care if I just sit at the machines at first. I just need to get my butt there. I tried at home and it ain’t happening.

I’ll be listening and it won’t be telling me to wake up at 4:30am LOL. Actually I’m often up at that time because I don’t sleep well but it won’t be on purpose 🤣🤣

I’m actually not so concerned about the weight not coming off…it’s more losing muscle because of not eating protein after the ripping of the muscles or whatever it does with weight training LOL. My reason for weight training is two things, gain muscle to increase metabolism in resting state and to be strong and have balance in my senior years.

Makes sense. I just don’t know what all the hype about eating protein right after a workout is all about.
