2024-07-08 01:47:09 +0000 UTCThank you for your honesty, Vel, and thank you for your trust. You've been through so much that would have ground down just about anyone else to a pile of dust. This hard-won strength is astonishing, and so very rare. You shine so brightly. You are deeply respected and deeply admired by more than just myself, but I can only speak for me. You may not need defenders; but most, if not all, of us would wreak mayhem for you without a qualm.

2024-06-25 01:31:33 +0000 UTCSweet Vel!! Thank you so so much for being so giving and vulnerable with us to share your experience. I've had a similar experience of losing weight (unintentionally at the time, I was doing things I shouldn't and not sleeping for days) and was praised heartily for it by my peers. At the same time, I had folks worried about me and in the most fucked up way, I felt good that they were worried about me because that meant I was skinny. I gained the weight back plus more, lost it again and gained a large amount of muscle, and then lost muscle and gained weight back again once I stepped into a corporate professional role. I'm at the point now where I'm trying so fucking hard to embrace body neutrality and be thankful that I get to lift weights and do yoga and also eat ice cream and do all the things I want, but it is hard to not freak out when I see the number on the scale. I'm older than I was when I was at my skinniest, and even now seeing stretch marks appear when I feel like I've been so good and so active feels like a setback I can't get over, but I digress. It's a process and it'll always be a process, but your audios and your vulnerability helps more than you know. Hopefully sharing some part of me will help you as well. Sending big hugs ❤️

2024-06-23 22:51:00 +0000 UTCThank you so much for sharing, I really needed to hear this and it has massively motivated me to just "trust the process" like you said. I've started and stopped so many times because I haven't seen any progress but progress doesn't happen overnight. I now look forward to my gym days to see what new limits I can push my body to and it feels amazing. So I'll say it again, thank you, and I hope you achieve your goals someday because it sounds awesome!

2024-06-23 22:17:56 +0000 UTCVel I’m proud of you! Chronic illness has stolen many years of participation in life from me because of issues with weight. My own journey recently took a 180 due to a new treatment and while I hadn’t given up hope I just couldn’t believe the life I envisioned for myself being attainable when it came to the person I saw in the mirror. Maybe it’s partially spite but I know I feel a sense of pride in myself purely for being dragged through the trenches mentally and physically for 30 years and still being here lol Hopefully through the ups and downs that keeps you going too.

2024-06-23 21:28:25 +0000 UTCJust a couple minutes in and I already know this will hit me. I had an ED from ages 14-17 in the midst of some very bad unaddressed mental issues. Even despite being older now, I still weigh myself and frown at the number despite it being muscle as I'm VERY physically active at my job. This also stems from my struggles with chronic illness. It is so difficult to love your body in modern society when our societies standards of "attractiveness" are constantly changing definitions. And what they find "abnormal" is changing, too. This realization made me look within myself and see that there is no point in trying to appeal to others. That feeling hot as fuck feels better than tirelessly trying to conform to something unachievable. That being kind to myself was more rewarding than coming back home empty handed. Talking about these things is so incredibly difficult. You're awesome for sharing this, because with the direction I'm hearing I know someone else, whos currently at their lowest, will need to hear this right now. I know I certainly did.
