I'm also at my all-time high weight after maintaining a healthy weight for years. It's so discouraging and as you say, easier to be kind and understanding to others than to yourself.
My dad used to say, "What would you tell a friend?" I try to think about that when I get into the negative self-talk.

That's sound dad advice!
It really was! I think of it a lot.
Lisa, this column is beautiful but also so important. This quote is everything:
"Reaching out for help in itself was an expression of self-love."
Thank you so much. It was a real eye opener to have that realization. ❤️
I am 100% in the same boat with you!
It's tough, and it's exhausting. There's a clear light at the end of the tunnel; I just wish it shone a little more brightly.
