Hi Mary Ellen, I lost my mum nearly seven years ago now, although the pain and shock stays with me, over time I have come to see that losing a parent is part of life’s journey, and this experience is aligned with nature, and that it should be my task to grieve her, and I am thankful it was not the other way round. Not sure if that resonates with you but thought I would share as it brings me some peace. You will move through this time ❤️Emily x

Hi Nicole, I had a lot of thoughts like this when it started taking off in the UK. Especially as I am getting older now. I started to just focus on wanting to be smaller in this quite obsessive, narrow way - which is a difficult (impossible?) task aged 46 and nearly 5 foot eight. From having friends who are using it though - while I would say it has been the right choice for them and I fully respect everyone making their own choices - it is not a route that doesn't have downsides, side effects and other things - so that if it is not something you need to do then trying to exercise and eat heathily will always be the best option if that is open to you - which from your profile picture it most certainly is!!!!!! I am sure you know all this. I am finding - over here at least - that things are calming down a bit in my world at least and fingers crossed you will find the same.
