    How to cook my own healthy meals at home with what I have. I spent my 20s living on junk and lots of snacking and never gained a pound. Now, I feel like eating is always this whole thing – trying to get the right nutrients so that I feel okay, counting calories so I don’t gain too much weight, etc. while having very limited knowledge of what a healthy, balanced diet actually looks like.

    The power in working out for my own mental health instead of for aesthetics. I would always quit and indulge in an ED because I wasn’t losing weight fast enough. I’m now 15lbs more than I was before and 2 dress sizes down because I stopped fantasizing about weighing a certain amount and started working out to feel strong

    It gets better. It gets SO much better.

    Everyone acts like your 20s are the prime of your life and everything after that is old age and misery. Honestly you couldn’t pay me to go back to my 20s. My 30s are lit, and the best decade of my life by far.

    Fat cells never go away, they just shrink
    Which is why it’s sooo easy to gain back fat, and so hard to lose it.

    So basically, the key to being goal weight is to never put on the weight to begin with.
