If I lose weight, I will be happy. I've been saying this to myself since I was a teenager. I'm 56 with a great marriage and 2 beautiful and kind children. I have much to be happy about but, in my head, life will be perfect if I could "just lose those extra 10, 15, 20 pounds". I need to stop this message but I don't know how. I do need to lose weight....to fit back into my clothes and for health but I don't want to spend the next chunk of my life with this mindset. I'm not a social media person, posting on this site is a first for me. I hope to share and receive positive messages. Thanks.
