I have spent the last 7 months working on myself. Decades of unhappiness took a toll on me...including adding lots of weight. I started going to the gym, counting calories, etc. I've lost 140 pounds and feel awesome! No dating prospects...but it felt good to work on me. I feel like I shed weight - but with those pounds came shedding of sadness that I buried. Instead of dealing with my feelings, I ate. Instead of food, I turn to the gym now...but the need (due to sadness) is far less frequent. I workout because I love it. I am SO happy now, and half my size Dating is next...that should be interesting!

That must have taken a huge amount of self discipline and planning and focus Sister tiredofbeinglonely - well done. These exact same traits should be a huge asset to you when you apply them to "the next chapter" too.

An amazing accomplishment. Congratulations!
I just wish exercise would work for me. I am stronger and fitter than I was at any other age (I’m 64). I can do burpees, jump squats, step aerobics, HIIT, lift weights, and carry heavy shopping bags upstairs like it’s nothing at all, but darn it, for all that work (which I enjoy immensely), it makes no difference to how I look, and I eat healthy too. You have done really, really well. 🤗

I know what I want, what I deserve, and what I will not settle for again. I really do look forward to my tomorrows
