I am a 75-year-old Jewish grandma who has heard a lot about you. 50 years ago I weighed 110 pounds. I was on Weight Watchers at age 14.I wish I could get back every minute I ever spent thinking about my weight. What a waste of brain cells! My body has done an incredible job of keeping up with my body dysmorphia. But since the pandemic, my sugar craving exploded. And so did my weight. I am now over 165 pounds and only 4’11”. Since January first, I rejoined Weight Watchers AND started Herbalife again. (Oh, yeah, Herbalife worked for me once, but surprise—gained it all back plus.) I am not a dude, but please count me in. I do not want to die thinking about how fat I am. I just spent an amazing day with my grandchildren. I need THAT to nourish me. Help!
Hi Susan. Welcome to The Unscripted Journey. I hope as you to read past and future articles you can see how we can unlearn all the lies and BS that diet culture has taught us. No matter what age, we can all unlearn our own internalized fear and hatred we have over our bodies. If you are looking for support outside of this substack, let me known and we can discuss 1:1 sessions.
Thank you, Aaron. Starting to watch “The Golden Globes” and find myself again assaulted by images of women who look like recent victims of a concentration camp in shimmering dresses that reveal their gaunt, bony skeletal bodies.

I like your listed of suggested intentions. I personally abhor resolutions.
