Thank you Merlanda for calling. I've been overweight my whole life too. I'm 44 now, and I'm from one of the fittest states in the country, so I was really picked on, ignored and left out. Guys would only date me in secret... it was so messed up... I finally moved to a different city & state where people aren't as caught up with looks. I realized during the call, that I still see a lot of my value in what I can do for other people. It's gotten a little better as I've gotten older, deeper faith... at 1st I didn't value myself, but I knew God valued me, so I started keeping values & boundaries because I didn't want God to see me get hurt or taken advantage of... it too a long time for me to start to see myself that way too. I also like to remind myself that I would never say or think negative things about another person or child, so I also, shouldn't say that about myself either. The one amazing thing I've also found is the low carb Keto & carnivor diets. I'm a carb addicte. I'm also insulin resistant. And through food elimination, I discovered I had food allergies. It never upset my belly, but it made me swell up. Until these discoveries, I couldn't loose weight beyond the initial 20 lbs, and then I'd have to be so crazy calories restricted, it wasn't sustainable. But, cutting out foods I'm sensitive to, and controlling my insulin levels by severely reduced carbs, I've been able to loose weight. I'm down from 240 lbs to 183 lbs (I'm 5'-3")... I still have a ways to go, but it's so easy now. I'm not hungry and I'm still loosing weight. It feels good, but it hasn't changed who I am as a person. It's not magic, but like Dr John said, I make a conscious effort to override negative thoughts and replace them with positive truths about myself. Also, I keep buying cute clothes in my current size, because I'm worth it. (Sometimes from good will or thrift stores, discount stores, clothes donated to churches)... It's been helpful to dress nice even at my biggest and now as I move along. It's motivating. Praying for you and all those who've been there too.

That's awesome you figured out those issues your body has with food. A lot of people don't realize just certain foods are hurting them more than the overall calories. I removed sugar completely from my diet (with exception to the natural stuff found in whole foods) and just doing that I noticed a huge difference. I didn't even change the number of calories in my diet

Listening to Merlanda, being a fraternal twin, this hits hard. I've always been the thin twin and my sister was always the topic and the constant joking. Once I gained some weight and people started comparing us more I felt scared and started dieting. Now I'm working with a treatment team after being diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. It's a constant battle but worth fighting. Stay strong Merlanda. You got this and you are so loved.❤️💐

I think it’s hard to love yourself when you struggle with weight because all you ever hear is how much people hate it and don’t want to be fat. There is like a preoccupation with it in our society that trying to love yourself when your less than perfect is very hard because you get no external validation that you have value. It’s actually quite the opposite. In fact, when I compliment someone I try not to make it about their looks and more about their character. Or “wow you look great” instead of “have you lost weight?” It’s almost like our society would prefer you to be anything else but overweight. You can be a raging narcissist but you will seem to have more value to the world than that sweetheart over there that’s heavy. It’s jus soo 3 dimensional. Opt for love peace and health. Not hate shame and arrogance. Skinny people have problems too they aren’t the holy grail of man kind

Merlanda, please look into a low-carb way of eating. (Don't do a "dirty" version. You want to eat real, whole foods that fuel your body!) Don't DIET, change your diet....meaning change the way you eat! You are "yo yoing" because you have the wrong idea of healthy eating. Healthy eating can be rich and delicious food! Simply changing the way you eat will get the ball rolling, and once you drop some major weight, you will want to dive into exercise. Trying to exercise your way to health while you're 150 lbs overweight just isn't going to help. You truly have to change the way you eat. Best wishes to you!

I think it would have been cool if John would have went just a tiny bit deeper with the first caller. I experienced this myself! I don't really struggle with weight but with loving my body and e.g. exercising on a regular basis. So the older i got and the more i loved myself , the easier it was to exercise, eat healthy etc. As part of a lifestyle bec i started seeing it as caring for myself. Doing sports is much harder when you want to lose a certain amount of weight. If the goal is to support your body longterm, taking care of it, releasing stress, feeling enrgized in the morning , living a healthy Lifestyle and so on , the motivation comes to you :)

Merlander I have lost 30 lbs now it's taken about a year and through some big trials in my life and I'm a stress eater. I have about 40 ish more lbs to lose but I'm not putting a time limit and if if have a day I falter I WILL get up and get back to my plan. I Feel your pain, turn to the Lord and counseling. I still have a lot more to lose but the Lord is with me and I've learned forgiveness and have had to forgive myself for things in life. This time Merlanda I'm going to do it thanks to turning it over to the Lord who loves me and has showed me how to love myself and be kind to myself, that's why I can do this this time with out punishing myself.

It can be incredibly hard for a lot of women to lose weight. We are very much at the mercy of our hormones, coupled with our genes, as well as the diet we may have been fed as children, which can be linked to familial culture as well. Height also plays a factor. We have to love our bodies, because of what they DO, not because of what size we may or may not be. You learn this pretty quickly through pregnancy and ESPECIALLY AFTER. It is so humbling/hard after children, when you see what happens to your body. The better way to look at it, is to look at your body, and think about all of the things it's done/gotten you through. That attitude, coupled with a nutritionist and some time with a PT, can change our whole mindset. It shouldn't be about losing weight. That's secondary. It should be about the potential we see in ourselves, and being grateful for the body God chose for each of us. One of my friends was really heavy, and she barely ate. Turned out she had a soy allergy and she was celiac. After she stopped eating what she didn't even know her body wasn't able to digest, the weight fell off, and her hormones leveled out. Prayers for this beautiful human.

"How do I love my body?" You love it by loving it. That means taking care of it. It's an action, not a feeling. You love it today by treating it well, with respect, through habits of eating and exercise, and you do the same thing through next year, after you've lost weight and toned it to a healthy state, and you love it this way for the rest of your life. That's what it means to love your body. It does not mean you look at an unshapely mass in the mirror and think, "yeah, I love this!" You love it by getting it in shape. I do it, my friends do it, y'all can do it. When we're younger, we can let our emotions take us down a darker path, one where we end up with a situation, bodily or otherwise, that we recognize is not good. But as adults there's an onus upon us to take ownership of who we are and how we should steward whatever we've ended up with.

@nikan7704
@nikan7704 Год назад
I'll attempt.. I think perhaps what John was meaning was that feelings evolve and change. The passion you feel for a person at the beginning of a relationship may fade and be replaced with deeper more connective love, for example. And I believe he was also referring to how there may be times throughout a marriage when you don't feel as in love with the person you married, whether you're going through a rough patch together or whatever it may be. But it's especially in those moments that you choose to still be committed to them. Loving someone is a choice. To keep a marriage strong and committed you have to choose every day to love them, whether you feel that super strong emotion or not. But through choosing to love them, you search for ways to serve and connect with them. Which also leads to feelings of love. In my experience it's all connected. ...Hope that helps shed a little more light?

You definitely need to go to therapy. Many men feel incompetent, so they check out and focus on their careers. I am not good with babies but I am good at my job. Which is why I screen for men who are reflective, willing to learn new skills, and are intrinsically motivated to solve problems. This gives no excuse for cruelty though. All of this screening is done early in the dating process, prior to commitment and sex. I engage in therapy level conversations with them and perform psychological assessments on them. Like for real for real. I've requested personality assessments as well. Their response to my request is a test. I very positive about it and frame it as a journey of exploration. If they lash out, automatic termination. That means he is emotionally immature. It's ok if they express concern but are willing to talk about it. That is a good response to the test. He may not agree but he is willing to explore. The other option is for him to agree. That is a great responses too. It sounds like a lot but the goal is to fully understand my partner. Part of it is so I can get a proper assessment but the other side is so I can love them properly. During the dating process, we spend our time taking about hobbies.😑😑😑

I want to reply so you hear me, not to be mean. As a guy who is loving, intelligent, has a solid career, is God-fearing and God-loving, I would bolt so quickly if you had done what you outline with me if we were dating. Be very wise in your mate selection, but don't do it like you described. You will probably become prideful in the seeking and end up so picky that you really just end up alone. All this is meant with love, my sister. Enjoy dating, enjoy the chase, but be loving, not critical.

If you are really seriously doing this (I hope not) then here’s a suggestion DO NOT DO THIS. You seem as though you want a masculine man and are not aware that your are in a very masculine state. Even your approach is masculine and that will only attract feminine energy men and it may seem at first that the feminine energy man is a good catch but it will not last. You will get into your feminine and want home to man up and he will get too comfortable and that won’t last either. Just sit back and let the man ask the questions and see where he can lead you in conversation. Test the waters and see how far and how deep he can go but remain mysterious and act slightly dumb. Your Analytical mind will be able to process weather or not he is a fit. This will also weed out the men in their feminine looking for a mother and not a wife. Right now it sounds like YOU’RE looking for a WIFE... And all this may sound woo woo but you are here commenting on your process and not with your MAN, and even if there is a guy now you are so in your masculine that it will not last long. OR you could end up with the feminine man and have kids and be exhausted and cheat cuz your man doesn’t fulfill your needs of being in your feminine… I’ve seen that happen too. No shade and this was is coming from love. You seem like you would make an excellent wife and mother (if you choose). ❤

To any young men listening, take it from me - stay single ‘til AT LEAST your 30’s. Go out, find a life you love, date, enjoy your hobbies and when you’ve got all that out of your system THAT’S the time to think about marriage/kids. I know so many men who married too young and got lumbered with kids, mortgage etc and now they’re divorced and in debt with child support.

It’s different for everyone. So men should stay single until they are 30, but women get the short end of the stick. We’re the ones with a clock and that always get the crap about staying single until after 30, you see this don’t you?

Women are too. It's just our society. There's a lot of value placed on feelings instead of logic these days.
