Val88-I have gained six pounds since last week! I understand how you feel, and I am going through the same thing. I know what Dale is saying is very true about eating right. Nutritional knowledge is always good to have. Cardio exercise is a great way to take off and/or maintain weight. I have an elliptical in one of the tv rooms, and I enjoy getting on it when there is something enjoyable to watch. Time flies on the elliptical if I can find something I enjoy watching. You can also walk with someone you like/love. It makes it enjoyable. People tend to “open” up when they walk.
Focus on what is beautiful about you now, e.g., your skin color, your hair, your nails, your personality. We are Goddesses. We hold such beauty within and without. Set the intention that you are beautiful right now in this moment.
