👏👏 

Thanks moopie! I always appreciate a good shot of a great back, and you put up three! Besides avoiding the kitchen, I bet it’s hard to open your mouth while on your head 🤔 

Thanks everyone who supported me❣️ Erq, rosio and acomandr... you guys are the epitome of hitting goal and staying there. There maybe many food temptations along the way but having self control is crucial to maintenance. If one cannot control what goes in the mouth, how can one expect to control what comes out? Thank you southernace, it’s my first time trying this. Gibjig, thank you❣️ You are very kind 💞💞💞 Fickchic, 🙏 thanks❣️ Radar 🥸🥸🥸 Irafn, I took screengrabs from a video. You can see the video on my Instagram @sexy_carb_licker. Nutricali, I’m really surprised because I haven’t been to a gym since March and I ate my 59 lb bag of rice.... so using baby weights at home. Anne, it’s the pants. 😉😉😉 Jenny, also Zumba. I find dances on YouTube and dance so I’m not stuffing my face. 🐻, thank you so so much❣️ it as harder but I did do yoga even when I was obese. Draglist, thank you sir❣️ John, you’re a consistent member too❣️ Janus, thank you. I do feel powerful. The last 2 weeks was a tough one, but I didn’t eat mindlessly. Feels good❣️ Br_e_co, surprising doesnt take a lot of strength 🙂🙂🙂 .  

Katherine, I agree. This I think is why weekends are so troublesome for dieters. Godschild, thanks💗💗💗 Diane, I’m so happy they are still there❣️❣️❣️ Sk, 🥰🥰🥰 Tom, haha 😆 truth❣️Eating upside can cause queasiness  

Wow... 😻😍 

Laughingchevre, In the real world triggers are all around. Instead of adding padding to the walls and putting the members in straight jackets, the therapists could teach them how to handle the triggers. I just woke up, sorry if comment is inappropriate. 

Thank you, irafn 

We agree, moopie. Anyone who has dealt with trauma knows that triggers are everywhere, unpredictable, unexpected (it's not so simple as avoiding representations of violence if you were a victim of violence. something as simple as a sound or color or smell can be a trigger) and that safe spaces are not a solution. What I particularly dislike is the appropriation of the language of trauma when the problem is not trauma - it's insecurity, which is different. No one needs a safe space from other people's fit bodies. 

Laughingchevre, I think sometimes people don’t understand why they feel the way they do when they face their triggers. Practicing mindfulness is a way I was able to deal with them. Distinguishing between recreational eating and listening to my hunger cues is how I dealt with not overeating. Distracting myself with movement instead of wandering into the kitchen to stuff my face is how I dealt with my food triggers. 💞💞💞 thank you so much for sharing your experience❣️
