I’ve Been Struggling With my Weight for Years and Feel so Discouraged When i see the Number on the Scale. why Can’t i Just Lose Weight Like Other People Seem to?

Dear friend, I hear the pain and frustration in your words, and I want you to know that your struggles are valid and understood. Weight is such a complex and personal journey – it’s never as simple as ‘just losing weight.’ Your body is unique, and comparing it to others’ journeys will only bring more pain. Remember that the number on the scale doesn’t define your worth or your progress. True health includes so much more: how you feel, your energy levels, your relationship with food and your body. Instead of focusing on the scale, perhaps we could explore small, loving changes that make you feel nourished and joyful? Every step you take towards self-care is a victory. You are so much more than a number, and you deserve compassion – especially from yourself.
