I will be turning 40 yrs old in August....I feel miserable!! I hate the way I look, I have no self confidence...I have gained almost 50 pounds over the last 4 years, and altho I do have hypothyroidism I cant blame it all on that...I hate what I see when I look in the mirror...I just wanna cry all the time....im soooo depressed! I don't want something drastic (heart attack, stroke (i.e.) to happen to get me motivated to get up off my butt and do something about this!!! I have 2 children and a husband that need me!! Yet I try for a few days and just give up!! I need lots and lots of prayers to get me thru this and to help my motivation!! I know u guys will pray and tell me like it is!! Im glad im able to come here...love you all...

I have similiar feeling only with me about to be 35. Its frustrating that yo yo feeling! I tend to do well a few weeks see progress then screw it all up. I am thinking and praying for you. Dont give up many of us fall down but we got to get back up!

I too will be turning 40 soon with a lot of weight to lose as well but I can tell you that it does get better. I too have a thyroid issue and with determination, a lot of prayer and hard work have lost a lot of weight. So there is hope. You can make healthy and lasting change. Just remember it is a one day at a time thing and it takes time to get the weight off. Be good to yourself and love yourself where you are at because God loves you right there and He will help you through this struggle. You can do it! People believe in you!

I'm horrified! I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000. I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter. I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change. Now this! I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000. I guess I have to pay...

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
