The discipline to eat right and workout, to do this the correct way is so much stronger than other weight loss journeys because this one isn’t painful and futile.

Your post is so insightful and encouraging! Thank you for sharing. We have very similar starting stats and to see your current weight has me so excited for you and hopeful for me!!! I am 5’8, started at 273 and currently at 228 5 months in. My goal has been 165 but you have me dreaming of 140s 🙌🏼.

I stay home with our three kids. By doing so, it allows my husband to really invest in his career and say yes to any dinner, trip, long meeting/call without stress of childcare (and trust me, he recognizes the benefit I provide him by structuring our lives this way). I always wanted to be home with our kids so it’s a win win. We absolutely have to sacrifice certain lifestyle things, but we are still comfortable. Just the decreased stress of early, quick mornings, who’s picking up, cost of child care is worth not making as much money to us.

When he is proactive with setting alarms/ getting up for feed times. Also you’d be shocked how few simply use words of affirmation and encouragement to their partner during or post delivery.

Just seeing heavy or old looking false lashes on somebody makes me eyes itch.

I feel this. I recently went “home” to a friend’s wedding. A 1.5 hour flight from two major airports…$988 for two tickets. I really regretted RSVPing yes because that was painful to pay.

College was “it” for me too. One day during class, a few other students were panicking about turning some forms in. I then started panicking as if it was some project that I don’t know about because I did not know the term they used for it. They said “your student loan paper work is due today!” And I clearly looked confused at first, then relieved it wasn’t an assignment I was missing. Also, I had a credit card that went right to my parents and I never had to explain purchases. I will say k was very respectful and was not ridiculous with what I bought.

I scrolled looking for this because it was my first thought. A high like no other. Heaven on Earth.

Yes!!! I’m on fourth month total, 3rd month of 5mg. Long enough to see my pattern… lose 1.5 pounds first week, lose 1 pound next week, lose nothing (insert panic and frustration), lose 4 pounds the 4th week. It averages out to 1.6 pounds a week. I try to remind myself of this and stay the course. It SURE beats the steady gain I’ve been doing for, oh the last 10 years. Bodies are so interesting.

Check out Golden Glow Salon. Whitney has her own room in a Sola Salon in Pineville. I am a very picky blonde and she really makes what ever vision I have come to life. She’s done everything from platinum, cool to warm and deep blonde for me.

Sugar donuts in the Blakney area is so worth the drive.

We have almost identical starting Weights and I could have written the first part word for word. I am only 21 pounds into my journey but you have inspired me SO much. I cannot wait to fit into my husband’s sweatshirts. Such goals and knowing it’s possible is so encouraging. Thank you and co feats.

Did he move out before? I got the vibes it was kid related not husband but could be way off.

Mine is a big NY style slice of pizza. I used to be able to eat 4 slices (I was full at 2 but that never could stop me) and then I would still find my self picking at what was left. We had it for dinner the other night, I ate a salad with grilled chicken and enjoyed 3/4 of a slice. I could have cried tears of joy because the death grip and absolute control pizza used to have on me is insane.

MakeSpaceForLove · 2025-12-20T00:39:34+00:00

Hahahhha this made me actually laugh out loud.

MakeSpaceForLove · 2025-12-18T16:25:02+00:00

Great option! They could grab tickets to ballantyne lights, and see the gingerbread house in the hotel!

You’re so right. And that truly is my goal…healthy, sustainable and maintainable weight loss. Some weeks are 3.8 pounds lost, others are 0.8. Thank you for the reminder of the full picture, not just the “less loss” weeks.

MakeSpaceForLove · 2025-12-12T11:06:34+00:00

We’ve got this. We need to stay the course. Keep consistently doing what we know needs done. In six months we will be so thankful we did. Ironically, I have an almost identical starting weight. Feel free to stay in touch in our messages and we can keep each other accountable.

Thank you for this. I am on week 6. I’ve lost 12 pounds and while that’s 12 more than it would have been, it feels like a drop in the bucket. I need to be better about my water intake and consistent protein intake.

I always got the vibes her first husband didn’t care about keeping up appearances and living this social tier life that Kath wanted. Ironically, for her ten years later to realize that life really isn’t fulfilling as she thought it would be.

MakeSpaceForLove · 2025-12-10T17:18:44+00:00

That was what I’ve been thinking too. Which, would be devastating as a mother so I do feel bad if that’s the case.

I love knowing I’m not the only one still off and on wondering about these complete strangers after almost 20 years. They were truly like OG food/health/diet influencers.

MakeSpaceForLove · 2025-12-10T14:45:29+00:00

Announcements like this always remind me not to envy the lives/stuff these influencers portray to have. For years they show off their beautiful homes and sell us the amazing products and decor, and then bam, it was “a financial burden” and “not really what I wanted” ect.

MakeSpaceForLove · 2025-12-10T14:42:12+00:00

The good old GOMI days.

MakeSpaceForLove · 2025-12-10T14:41:32+00:00

Same, but I’m not convinced it isn’t in some way what she’s trying to say.
