Wow, thanks from a 69 yr old gym aficionado. The gym helps keep me sane, the muscles allow me to feel good about my body, and stories straight from the trenches are inspiring! 🐸
You had more reason than many of us to cling to the illusion of someone coming to save you -- but it's one that many girls (especially, I believe) have a hard time letting go of. I sure have. If we've had the message pounded into us that we're not worth saving, or valuing unless we produce or please, or success on our own terms and due to our own hard work and abilities — that's a hard message to overwrite. Immense kudos to you for fighting the good fight.

Lou, write away! I love inspiration from a fellow gym rat! Thank you so much!

That's very kind of you, Jan. It's been a journey, still is a journey.
