Love what you’ve put out in the world, thank you!!!

My one thing, the thing I can’t resolve, is how my weight has become a legit problem because of arthritic joints. There’s no arguing with gravity or the exponential load that each extra pound creates. I don’t know how to resolve body positivity and grinding pain. I assume you are under 40 — I am more than half-way to 60 now.

Maybe arthritis won’t ever show up in your knees and hips, sure hope not!

For me, all I know is that acceptance doesn’t make the physical pain go away…I don’t have any answers. Abandoning acceptance isn’t right, but pretending that our older bodies can tolerate excess weight beyond certain levels isn’t right either…?!

Anyway, I love what you’ve written and look forward to reading more.
