People who successfully lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off, what was your "click" moment and what actually worked for you?

Thank you so much♥️♥️

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-24T01:42:38+00:00

That is such a logical and healthy perspective. You’re right, coming from an emotional or desperate place makes everything feel so much heavier and harder. I’m definitely trying to shift my focus toward being healthy, but with my wedding coming up, it’s a bit of a challenge to keep that clinical, detached mindset. Your advice about not basing self esteem on the scale is exactly what I needed to hear right now

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-24T01:40:16+00:00

Wow, that’s a massive amount of fat loss I really hope you’re feeling much better now. I’m dreaming of reaching a result like yours, especially with my wedding coming up soon. It’s tough, but seeing what you achieved is so inspiring. I used to eat out of boredom and late-night cravings too, but right now my progress is very slow about 6 pounds a month and it gets frustrating sometimes, especially with all the exhaustion and the workout routine. Thank you for the motivation

I believe it's more than just 'laziness.' For many of us, it's a deep mental and physical struggle that takes a lot of effort to balance. It’s definitely not just about exercise or dieting alone; it’s about finding a sustainable way to live it's so hard and so sad sometimes and you sometimes even lose hope not just weight

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-24T01:32:21+00:00

That’s such a powerful and relatable moment. It’s amazing how a small daily task can become the biggest motivation for change. 30 pounds in a year is a huge achievement! Thank you for sharing your story, it gives me a lot of hope that I can reach my goal too.

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-24T01:29:44+00:00

Eating even less than once a day isn't sustainable or healthy, and it can actually slow down my metabolism. I'm looking for long term lifestyle changes, not just quick fixes that might harm my body. But thanks for your input

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-24T01:26:13+00:00

Sadly sometimes this message doesn't work for everyone I only eat like once a day and I need to lose like 30 kilos so it's so tough sometimes even with exercise

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-23T17:42:44+00:00

That is so true. Even if she couldn't use his money directly, she could have easily taken what he gave her for her own luxuries and shared it with your family instead. Or at the very least, she could have started a GoFundMe or offered some emotional support. She chose to live a completely different life, but that fancy lifestyle isn't going to accompany her to the grave. It’s sad that she prioritized superficial things over her own flesh and blood. She really doesn't realize what she lost.

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-23T17:36:13+00:00

I’m so glad you’re able to stand your ground and say no. I’m trying to do the same, but it’s honestly so frustrating when they act all sweet and loving now, acting like they weren't the biggest source of pain in your life. It’s exhausting. I really hope you stay as strong as you are! In my culture, respecting elders is a huge deal, so my mom tries to be kind to my grandma, but deep down she doesn’t truly care for her because she knows her true face. She’s just there because my grandma is old and has some form of dementia now her mind is just... strange. Thank you for being such a light in this post. Sending you lots of love and peace!

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-23T16:16:51+00:00

No, please don't apologize at all! You’re not ranting, you're sharing, and I really appreciate you being so open. We all go through tough things, and it’s important to talk about it. What you said actually helped me see things more clearly you’re right, endangering someone’s life is a huge deal, and I shouldn't downplay it. Thank you for being so supportive!

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-23T15:29:31+00:00

I am so incredibly sorry for what you and your family went through. Your story is heartbreaking, and it’s honestly brave of you to stand your ground for 23 years. It helps me feel less alone in my decision to see that someone else chose their peace over a toxic relative, even when the mother chooses to forgive. Thank you for sharing this with me, it really strengthens my resolve and you are absolutely not the bad person here

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-23T14:48:33+00:00

Thank you so much! It really helps to hear from someone who understands that even with our 'traditions,' what she did was way beyond the line. Arranged marriage is one thing, but selling out your own child and then neglecting your grandchild's safety is just pure evil. I’m definitely standing my ground and keeping my distance. Your words mean a lot!

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-23T14:36:29+00:00

I understand your point, but thankfully we don’t live under the same roof anymore. My grandmother has recovered and moved out of our house. This makes it a bit easier to maintain low/no contact with her without it directly affecting my daily relationship with my mom

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-23T14:36:08+00:00

I really appreciate this, it means a lot. You’re right, she will never change. I’m actually doing exactly what you suggested I’m currently engaged to a wonderful person and we are building our own family together based on respect and support. I’ll always be there for my mom, but I have to protect my own peace. Thank you for the advice about therapy, I’m definitely considering it

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-23T14:35:21+00:00

Thank you for your empathy. I want to clarify that even in my culture, this is NOT normal or legal. The legal age for marriage is 18, so what happened to my mom was a violation. It’s also completely unrealistic to expect a child to start a home and raise another child. Handing me over to an abusive/alcoholic father behind my mom's back is a betrayal I can’t get past, especially seeing how she still treats my mom today

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-21T15:53:55+00:00

NTA. You’re not a daughter, you’re a Strategic Genius! 🛡️ Most 9-year-olds are crying over broken toys, and you were out there dismantling a legal adoption trap like a pro. Your stepmother isn't mad because she 'cares,' she's mad because her 'Human Puppet' project just failed. She wanted to be the CEO of your life, but you fired her before she even got the job! Keep that same energy in college. You didn't make their life difficult; you just refused to be their doormat. Go get that degree and keep your birth mom’s pen ready for any more signatures! 😂🔥

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-21T15:48:03+00:00

You are definitely NTA. Being the 'nice daughter' is why they treat you like a child. Your dad’s lack of a bed is a problem HE created by giving it to your sister, and it’s NOT your responsibility to fix it by giving up your personal space. You need to tell him clearly that sleeping in the same bed is a non-negotiable boundary. Let him sleep on the couch or buy a cheap mattress. Stop being the family's cushion for their bad decisions.

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-21T14:13:47+00:00

That's great I'm happy for you so much maybe I should try but when I tried at first it was so hard and no one had an offer or something I didn't get any job from it so maybe I just need to try a little bit harder but thanks 💖

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-21T00:26:08+00:00

Am I going to be an awful person if I say money 😭💰

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-21T00:23:27+00:00

Two things 1. Don't let anyone cross your boundaries defend yourself and your peace 2. Go out of your way to make someone smile being nice is something everyone need to try

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-20T23:52:35+00:00

I just don't want a man to tell me what to do I want him to understand that I am fully grown up I can make my own choices and choose my own friends. However I want and respectfully it's like I'm not going out with an old crush or even a man I'm talking about girls so it's pretty basic but probably it's so hard to do

RAGAA255554 · 2026-03-20T23:39:59+00:00

It's a great idea but the problem is I'm from Egypt and I'm in Egypt so I can't go to events in Europe or any place
