This morning I sorted through my wardrobe, storing lovely garments that I hope won't suit me anymore. A couple of them are unused. I haven't decided to give anything away so far. Being 63, I've done this before. Maintaining the weight will take several years before I feel confident. Commitment to keeping it off must match what I put into shedding it. Once I do pass them on, might there still be bigger folks around who'll want them at the secondhand place? 😉
Anybody still doubting their success long term?

Two decades from now most folks should carry healthy body weights again. My forecast is that tumor cases will increase yet remedies will multiply even quicker and bring stronger recovery odds. What sort of medical system troubles might surface after that? No need to fret though another concern will surface eventually since they always seem to.

Your comment really got me reflecting deeply. Dealing with PMOS, the updated term for what used to be called PCOS or Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, even after learning it's genuine and brings actual issues such as permanent hair removal needs and how dropping extra pounds proved challenging while adding them happens without effort, I kept absorbing silly ideas about body size reflecting character instead of resulting from biology. I'm continuing to address that. I'm no better than the version of me before these treatments, merely on medication now. That earlier person managed with whatever limited resources she had available at the time. Accepting ongoing treatment feels right to me. Beyond the scale changes, this has greatly improved my emotional well-being by reducing repetitive thoughts and behaviors, making daily tasks simpler even without my usual focus medication, and cutting back on alcohol consumption almost entirely. These compounds rank as my favorite type of treatment by far, aside from my fixation on them!
