I’ve only lost ~5 pounds, but I’ve been working out daily for 4 months and getting much stronger and healthier (started working out intermittently for about a year before that). Yesterday I fit into a pair of shorts that haven’t fit in 4 years 🥳🥳

Thank you!! It’s felt so slow to me, but I shifted my mindset recently to committing to a year of daily working out and deciding if it’s worth it then. Yesterday was a good push to keep going!

Weight is only a number. Body composition is much more important!

I don’t have a body composition scale, so I’m not sure. I’ve been curious recently how it’s changed!

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
