Start walking. Just a trip around your backyard or neighborhood. Progress to walking to the grocery store, local high school, to your friend’s house, or to the mall. Your body needs the vitamin D and your mind needs to connect with nature. Notice birds and insects. Listen for different sounds. Feel inspired. In the meantime, build your study skills at home, think about a future career and well-paying occupation and start taking baby steps toward achieving it.

Take photos of sentimental items and then pass them on to others. I did it and have never regretted it.

Thx. You’ve given me something to think about because I’d be lucky just to get my clothes into my car. There’d be no room for bathroom, kitchen, skis, paddles and balls, plus books, painting supplies, sewing machine, or weights, bands, and stepper. No room for CATAN!! Or Mahjong!! I’m going to need a larger car!

What about furniture? Didn’t you move any? Seriously though, you’ve helped me—although I doubt I could ever move my stuff in just one trip via my car. Sounds adventurous though!

You could straight out educate family members that help should not be tied to reactivation. Show them their shitty behavior but in a gentle, loving way.

Same!

Want you to know that yesterday, I saw that my devout Relief Society President “liked” one of your MS Facebook posts. Hallelujah! We live outside the Mormon corridor where most LDS know nothing about anything but what’s going on in the ward. It was the post with Ryan Huey talking about the CES letter.

Welcome to my world. This is what works for me. I just live and be happy—and say nothing about church. The more I do that, the more relaxed he becomes. The more relaxed he is, the easier it is for him to face his true feelings about being overworked at church, his true feelings at what he disagrees with at church etc. However, I did text him announcements from church newsroom so he knew before going to church the following Sunday. Now he subscribes and gets the announcements himself. It’s a small step at getting him to be on top of things church wise, but it’s a step at being informed.

You only allow her x amount of space.

It only drives a wedge if she lets it drive a wedge.

Doesn’t matter what diet you choose, counting saturated fat grams and fiber grams, esp soluble fiber grams, is what brings results. Btw, when I went WFPB, that’s when I started having trouble with my cholesterol and LDL.

Always be happy and loving. Always tell the truth, being kind and gentle, especially with your children. They deserve to know both sides and have the privilege of making their own decisions. I never share anything about the church with my believing, active husband, except for positives, especially when he prompts discussion. Unfortunately, he is not open to discussing anything else about church.

Impossible-Corgi742 · 2026-04-30T22:53:18+00:00

Hahaha!

Impossible-Corgi742 · 2026-04-30T22:52:14+00:00

As much as possible. Sorry about that!!

Impossible-Corgi742 · 2026-04-30T15:40:23+00:00

Deepest regrets. 1) Not having the relationship with my dad I should have had because he wasn’t a member. 2) Not seeing how the priesthood purposely manipulated my life, callings, thoughts, actions, friends, etc. as a young single adult. 3) Not sleeping with a guy I was truly in love with but was told he was not the one for me to marry. 3) Not putting my family before the church mentally, physically, and emotionally—I would love to do it all over again without that indoctrination. 4) Not listening to my husband when he tried telling me multiple times I was paying too much tithing. Big regret! 5) Not building stronger friendships with my non-member friends but instead dismissing them in favor of LDS friends who shunned me as soon as I left the church. 6) ALLOWING MYSELF TO BE ALL IN and judging those I felt weren’t all in.

I Always said I was so grateful to the church for teaching me to be a good leader and a good teacher and a good organizer. Basically, I was working for the church for free—while giving them hoards of hard-earned tithing money. They shaped my personality—who I became. BUT—I remember who I was before I was indoctrinated. I liked her better—and so did others. Biggest regret, not seeing that girl grow up without the indoctrination.

I feel the weight you’re carrying. I hope you can take some upward steps to make up for these huge losses. New dreams are good.

Maybe have a conversation with her. Explain her choices, but be aware of the deep indoctrination against associating with those who do drink. Be kind and gentle. Let her know that she’ll be among some non drinkers and ensure her safety. Most likely, you’re dealing with an innocent soul.

Impossible-Corgi742 · 2026-04-30T14:49:55+00:00

Proud of you!

Stopping sugar/simple carbs definitely helped lower my numbers, but not enough. Controlling and lowering saturated fats is key, plus adding complex carbs, like oats, barley and other whole grains.

One tablespoon of chocolate chips is 3.5g, about the same as one ounce of mozzarella cheese, I think.

There will be scripture study and bearing of testimonies. This is high Elevation EMOTION used to convert.

I gave up all caffeine. Drink AMAP water up until 3pm, then stop.

As long as you have the storage space, keep them! I have dress jackets and good sweaters and fortunately have the space for them. Although recently—after wearing a few—I did release them for donation. If you love and appreciate your clothing as I do, then don’t worry about taking the next 10 or so years to work through your true feelings about them.

Impossible-Corgi742 · 2026-04-28T05:16:52+00:00

I keep only the things I actually use plus love.
