I copied this over from the Flame Free Confession Thread because I don’t want to fill that with things not relevant to that thread.
I think this gets to the heart of your issue. You seem to be suffering under the delusion that you are trying really hard to keep yourself from “slipping”. And you clearly believe that you need great self discipline and control to keep yourself from “slipping”.
You are mistaking what Polar-Bear (I presume) meant.
He is talking of how people let themselves go to seed as they age.
He is talking of those who eat calorie dense foods without issue in their 20s and 30s and don’t know that they’ll probably have issues in their 40s and 50s.
He’s talking of those who kept their physique and mobility without issue in their 20s and 30s and don’t know that they’ll have to work harder to keep the same in their 40s and 50s.
In other words- he is talking of the natural effects of aging and how most people aren’t aware that they’re seeing the negative effects of it until it’s probably too late.
None of this should apply to you because you’re … what, 19 years old?
Anna, you already “slipped”. You “slipped” the moment you allowed your body to suffer so much that you started getting hormonal issues.
Speaking of- how’s your health?
