Should You Be Concerned About Your Weight?

[@Julie-kl5sp]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! As a nurse, I work with elderly patients. The difference between a patient who has prioritized his or her health through the years and a patient who has not is very apparent...and often heartbreaking.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing. I can imagine it would be.

One of many incredibly valuable mantras I’ve taken from your lessons is “choose your hard”. Two years ago I chose my hard and I’m down 120 pounds and counting! I care deeply about my health because I have big goals and big whys and a big vision for my life. Thank you for continually sharing your expertise with all of us! ❤

[@TracyHensel]

Wow, amazing! Congratulations on your major success! You clearly chose your hard with severe planning, discipline, and execution. You deserve to be proud of your work and accomplishment. Keep those WHYs in front of you and eye on the prize. Thank you for sharing your story and the thoughtful and supportive message about my work. Keep CHOOSING THAT HARD!

[@idamantashi8529]

Absolutely! Managing my weight is always a priority for me; I'm among those who weigh themselves every morning. Without this routine, I fear I'd become significantly overweight. I tend to ignore the external chatter since what works for one person might not necessarily work for me. Looking good in my clothes and feeling confident is important. Hence, weight management is a crucial aspect of my life and happiness.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing, Ida! Women stepping into their power, doing what works for them, and tuning out the noise - LOVE it! Keep up the great work!

[@jas7036]

Agreed. When people say it’s unhealthy to weigh yourself often, I think it is worse to be overweight. I do think you shouldn’t do this in front of your kids :)

Oh my..that was an excellent video...that armed me with confidence...and to the comment..give it up..I think you did wonderfully at the dance lesson..are you kidding..

[@debracausey7375]

Thank you for another great video. I’m learning to tune out the noise 😊

I think we should always "care" about our mental and physical health, which includes our weight. We shouldn't" worry" about these things but if concern means care, then by all means, health should be of utmost importance to each of us. I weigh myself everyday to manage my weight. We are never too old to take the best care of ourselves :)

[@TracyHensel]

Wise words. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your total honesty, elegant lady.

Absolutely, 100 percent!

I watched this twice, it was so good! I have been listening to your videos since about 2017 and videos like this have quite literally changed my life. I’ve created systems, stayed in my own lane, regularly practice ‘WAIT’, and have so much more confidence in the person I’ve become. (One of my favorite things to do is throw on a Tracy video and go for a long walk!) Thank you for this awesome content!

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you, Victoria! I appreciate you sharing how much my work has helped you optimize your life and gain confidence. Keep up the great work!

[@ArtistBarbaraAnnKenney]

Thanks for sharing this with us. You are so helpful to many. God bless you.My girlfriends that let let their husbands drink too much are now widows...I watch and see their pain...so sad to observe. Eating and drinking in moderation is soooo important.

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for the supportive comment. It's very much appreciated.

I just saw a recent picture of Bridget Fonda. She’s 58 and obese. I would never have recognized her if they hadn’t said who she was. We should always be concerned about our weight not only for health but feeling good about ourselves. I’m 71 and work on it every day mainly because of my health. I enjoy being slim and fit and it allows me to be active and able to do the things physically that I want to. I don’t want to buy new clothes so I need to stay the same size. Fat can contribute to so many health issues and some cancers. Every time I go out in public I am shocked by all the obese people. 30-50 years ago it was so unusual. It’s always the fat ones who tell me that I’m “lucky that I’m slim.” Luck has nothing to do with it. It serves me to be slim and fit. I allow dessert once or twice a week so I don’t feel deprived lol!

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for sharing, Sandie. I hope many see your message and realize their choices will dictate their future, just as yours has determined where you are; healthy and fit. Keep doing the good work.

[@sassysandie2865]

@@TracyHensel thank you, Tracy. It may trigger some women who are defensive about their weight.

[@ce3987]

I totally agree, its a choice not luck. I also enjoy dessert 2 times a week and 1 dinner out a week. I enjoy being a healthy weight. It severs me well too!

[@sassysandie2865]

@@ce3987 it’s doable! Good for you!

Tracey, I love your practical approach to skincare. What do you think of red light therapy? Have you purchased one?

[@TracyHensel]

Hi Julie! I have used Red Light Therapy both in the home & a couple of times in the skin spa. I found at home wasn't worth my time and it wasn't worth the money in-office. I am approaching 53 now, things have changed and my focus is on active ingredients in the home, collagen stimulating procedures in the office and planning and preparing for surgery. In my 30's and 40's it was much different, but now the cards are dealt differently. Let's just say I've grown up from those treatments and procedures for the yougner gals.

[@annamichelle3248]

Great video! I see concern as a positive thing and anxiety as a negative. But for someone asking the question, I would say What are your goals, and are you achieving them? Are you happy with where you are? That can give you answers if you need to change anything.

[@mariacardaropoli90]

Thank you Traci! I’ve been watching since 2017 and my life as changed literally! I was one to always make up excuses for myself about losing weight and getting healthy. I now know I have to choose my hard and forget about the noise around me! I now get up 5 days a week at 4 am. I just get up and don’t talk to myself lol like you’ve have said before if we listen we will have an excuse. God bless you and thank you so much ❤❤❤ Traci I follow similar skincare to you, do you still use the glycolic pads before retin a? Thank you ❤❤

[@TracyHensel]

Thank you for the thoughtful message supporting my work of helping other women step into their power and choosing their hard. Congratulations on your success and overcoming the tendency to make excuses. Keep up the great work!

[@mariacardaropoli90]

Traci do you have video on what you do get a good night sleep? ❤❤

[@TracyHensel]

Good Morning, Maria! I addressed your question on Instagram Stories this morning, Monday March 11th. I saved it to the Monday Highlight where it will stay for 1 week. Have a lovely day!
