9. Interesting. Been battling the middle age weight gain

but literally an exercise in futility. What's almost as irritating is that I had to get all new shorts this summer since almost nothing fits, and the next size up is a little too big, but comfortable. & I got them for $3 or 4 bucks each at a thrift store!

So I'm just trying to see the weight gain as just an inconvenience, and as long as I keep active and eat healthy, that is what matters. When I was a teen I had major control issues and starved myself into oblivion, but learned a lot about myself in the process.

I figure all those hours of therapy and writing shouldn't go to waste, and maybe was setting a foundation to prepare me for this next stage of life.

Thank you so much for this, I was struggling with my feelings after a friend just pointed out a few hours ago that I had gained weight. Like I was just oblivious to that fact.

Now I'm inspired to do some writing!
