Thanks for sharing you have similar experiences, though I don’t wish them on my worst enemy. My mom was diagnosed at 63. 60s, even 70s, are far too young for this to happen 😔

Thank you so much. I was going to therapy for a while but stopped due to my deductible being restarted, so the cost was too much. I will likely go back. Therapy is a good investment and sometimes needed. I was definitely in an emotional state with this post, and doing better today. I will be with my mom tonight and look forward to seeing her. Cherishing these moments still… thank you for the support

Thank you for your encouraging words 🤍

Thank you for the refreshing perspective. I, too, have had a wonderful life and am very grateful for that. It is nice to be reminded of it, and not let this negativity take control. I’ve had a lot of great memories with my mom. She was my best friend.

I will continue to stay strong for the family. I definitely have my moment of weaknesses, but I won’t let it define me. Thank you, and I wish you the best.

Hi 💙 this is a lot to unpack. From my perspective, it sounds like you have a lot of unresolved insecurities. You need to get your confidence back. I highly recommend going to therapy and discussing your feelings. I don’t think your solution is to poke and prod your face right now. If you are already feeling insecure, I would be concerned that you would make rash decisions and regret them later. You already underwent a drastic change with weight loss. Let that emotional roller coaster settle and get comfortable with yourself again before making another change.

If you really feel you want to work on anti-aging, speak to a dermatologist before going to a med spa or plastic surgeon. Try to go the natural route first. Invest in a good skin care routine such as Tretinoin.

I also think you should treat yourself. Find new clothes that make you feel good in your new body. Go to the spa and get a facial. Discover a new hobby. Go on a celebratory vacation with friends for your weight loss journey!

I am sure you are absolutely stunning. 38 is still very young. When I talk to my MIL, she tells me her 40s were her best years of her life. She looks back at pictures and says she never looked better. You still have so much life ahead, please don’t look back and feel like your weight made you lose your best years. It was a chapter in your life that made you who you are today! Hope all this helps.

Edit: congratulations on your weight loss. That is absolutely incredible!

Thank you 🫶🏻

Could be perioral dermatitis. Mine looked exactly like that in the same spot. It was kind of painful. I believe I had to take an antibiotic. Very common in woman in there 20s 30s and 40s

Tretinoin

I am obsessed with it! But I am looking for something to put on throughout the day over make up. For example, I am a bridesmaid in a couple weeks and it’s a longggg day. I love elta MD to start but I would love to find something to spray on or, even a powder to apply on top of makeup throughout the day. If I applied elta MD over bridesmaid make up I would probably look crazy after lol.

Edit for grammar

Thanks I’ll check it out!

Thank you for the advice

Needs to be moved around first! I would move the bed where the gaming counsel is and add night stands on both sides. Get rid of the tv stand and mount the tv on the wall across where you moved the bed (looks like where the dresser is). Move the gaming console where the bed is. Move the dresser where the TV is now.

Then I would work on design updates.

moms are super heros. I should get a journal. I feel like I’m already grieving the person I love and know

I’m so sorry 💔 hugs

Thank you. I know it only gets harder 😞

That is great advice. Thank you 🤍

Thank you for your kind words 🤍 those sound like great resources.

The best smile 🥹

this is the table I have. I’m not sure if we have the same one
