Where Have I Been? Body Update, Doctors/Cancer, Weight, Food, ETC!

Where have I BEEEEENNNN these last couple years???!?! Hahaha. I'm back, my friends, in full effect. :) Looking forward to continuing this journey with you, now that I've gotten a lot of the big stuff out of the way...(e.g. moving to EL PASO!!) 😊
Talk to you soon.

I’m 58 I worried so much about 15 to 20 pounds that I hid away most of my life. Not wanting to go to that party, not wanting to film for my business, I look back to when I was in my 30s and 40s and realize I looked absolutely perfect! I was the picture of Health. That 15 to 20 pounds took my life away. For anybody reading this, please don’t let weight take away from all of the special moments of life.

[@HowToStopBingeEatingForever1]

What wise advice! Thanks for commenting

[@HowToStopBingeEatingForever1]

Oh Miss Wellness, this is such a lovely comment. Thanks for sharing. I totally agree. It's not worth it and is even a positive to share in these times wehre we doubt ourselves.

[@nancybrown2609]

That’s so true!! I’m struggling w 15 to 20 lbs rt now!! And I’ll be 57 in two days! All I can think about these last couple of weeks is my weight gain. And when I’m 70 I’ll probably look back on this and realize I looked just fine:). Thank you for your post!! It opened my eyes!

Thank you so much!

[@inhealthjulie214]

Cheri thank you for your authenticity because as you know there is not a lot of that in our world. You’re beautiful and one of the only ones in life that have taught me to be at “peace “ with myself no matter what my body looks like to me. I’m not perfect at that but I’ve improved for sure!!! I have struggled to be public too bc health is huge to me and after finally stopping all dairy and meat and chemicals since October 2022 I thought I would drop 10 lbs but I didn’t. I gained. Im post menopausal and not sure if that is part of my challenge but also I’m not as active in a desk job lifestyle. So I’ve had my challenges but internally I feel healthier and mentally about the changes on the outside of my body with weight gain and wrinkles lol I’m more at peace but still continually trying to lose weight by being more active and accepting myself. Hugs girl!! Love the new name Nourish your lifestyle. In health Julie Ames Rice. I even started my you tube channel trying to be public but that is scary! I have been a health and wellness coach for years and for the first time I finally feel “healthier “ but yet I gained weight so it feels hard to be public bc as you said I felt like I had nothing to offer. But yet I do! I have learned so much that I feel could help people. But I do not know how to do social media well enough to reach people. Maybe you could try to find my you tube channel and see my latest veggie video lol. I do not even know how to tell you how to find me other than I think it’s under my name Julie Ames Rice. Thank you for the peace and authenticity. ♥️🌱🥕🥦🥬🧠

Thank you for engaging with such a thoughful comment! All the best! ~Beth, The Watering Mouth Team

[@HowToStopBingeEatingForever1]

Julie!!! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, as Beth said. Yes I remember you and I'm so happy to hear my authenticity inspires you. It's scary putting ourselves out there, isn't it? But the thing we're afraid of, that folks will judge us (they will) actually turns out in our favor because deep down what the world wants is to know that things are still possible even with struggles. Because even the ones who appear perfect are not...so might as well show up as our messy selves! :D Sending you so much love!!!

[@prudence7268]

Thank you for the update. I am always in awe of your candor and willingness to share. It helps so much to hear from people like you who are doing their best with whatever is going on with their lives and letting go of the idea of “perfection.” The self-compassion and self-love you are modeling is something we should all strive for. It is helpful not to feel alone when confronted with individuals in the media or on social media who seem to be achieving miraculous results by exercising super-human self-discipline (helped by genetics and luck) whereas 99% of us go up and down; we coast then we struggle. We think we have it figured out but then oh - here’s a new issue to deal with! Nothing is “once and for all” - such an eternal struggle to realize that and forgive ourselves. I like the new website name, too!

[@HowToStopBingeEatingForever1]

[@trierinking]

Thank you for opening up & sharing what you’ve been experiencing over the past couple years. I’ve been following you since what must have been the inception of The Watering Mouth. We were (are) both big fans of Dr. Fuhrman & learning how best to pursue the nutritarian lifestyle. While it would be nice to maintain perfect routines, perfect nutrition & an ideal body weight 100% of the time, I’ve found that it may not be realistic for everyone & that learning how to create an approach that works for each individual’s unique needs & circumstances is what’s key. It’s particularly hard when one family member is nutritarian & the rest of the family has a different way of eating. Anyway, what I have always loved & appreciated about you is your honesty & willingness to share your struggles & imperfections, which I believe is what the majority of us experience. What needs to be taught is how best to pick up the pieces when we stray from our desired way of eating & how to create a nourishing lifestyle that is sustainable. Thank you again & I look forward to continuing to follow your journey. Cheers to health, happiness & longevity! ❤

[@HowToStopBingeEatingForever1]

You are the best Erin!❤

Happy to see you back again and thanks for keeping it real! So many content creators show their end results and none of the struggle. If they describe their journey at all, it’s a thing of the past now they’ve reached success. That is not reality for the vast majority, so thank you for walking beside us! 🥰

Oh Margaret so happy to see you on here and THANK YOU for the encouragement. It's such a good point you've reiterated...showing the struggle is really key, because yeah results are what people want to see...but when it come down to it, if we only see the results, we think it's just so easy for them and unattainable. No more hiding! :D

Welcome to the peri -menopause, the mental health issues are a real challenge . Don't beat yourself about taking medications, its no big deal. A fellow breast cancer sufferer here, I wasn't put on tamoxifen and it returned, about to start it now. I am long term wholefood plant based and thought that I was immune to this disease . So many other factors involved, stress, shift work and community support were possibly my weak link xx

[@HowToStopBingeEatingForever1]

Thanks for following Vickie. Wishing you the best of health on your journey❤

[@HowToStopBingeEatingForever1]

Oh Vickie I am standing beside you woman!! I'm sorry ot hear of your diagnosis again, I'm sure this is very tough mentally. And yes I've heard from so many about the thinking we're immune if we just go plant-based, etc, you're SO right, the lesson here is that cancer is SOOOO multi-factorial and nutrition is NOT the only factor. The crazy thing is the stress that comes up around the diagnosis and the worry if you'll get it again contributes too. Feels tough, but we just have to do our best. And our best is enough and perfect and beautiful. Sending you all my strength and love and support.

I used to be in the Eat to Live Family. Well guess what - I have breast cancer now too. Stage one. My tumor is also estrogen postiive. Everyone says they can't believe it, that I'm the healthiest person they know! Just goes to show that it isn't ALL nutrition & exercise, although I'm giving myself a much better chance by eating well.

[@HowToStopBingeEatingForever1]

THIS THIS THIS Beverly!! I'm really sorry to hear of your diagnosis, but yes, cancer has so much to do with so many things, stress, sleep ETC. So it's not guaranteed that we won't have issues. You just give yourself the best chance yes. Glad to hear it's only stage 1, and probably that has a lot to do with your nutrition that it's not more advanced.
