Thank you for sharing about establishing. I have been trying to find a word with meaning. I have been on diets off and on for years. In the end I have been at the same place, failed and shame. Just starting GLP-1 and want to change my thinking and approach for life time. Thank you for sharing your journey and wisdom.
It can take time, Kathy... and it went back and forth for me. Well, it still does. Therapy helps keep me in the here and now instead of always looking back over my shoulder wondering what is going to come up and bite my ankles. We are free to "establish" the life we always wanted... and embrace the life we never knew existed.
I love, love, love this Dariam! You nailed it 🎯! Because of everything you just outlined, my quiet win is that I "established" & still "establishing". I often say to my core group, we didn't end up unhealthy, overweight, or obese overnight. For some this was a lifetime (within their current age bracket) build-up, for others this may have come over several years. Either way, we're not going to all of sudden be healthy, whole, healed, normal weight etc, in month's or even years. It may take some of us several years to "establish" a complete lifestyle shift that supports the lifespan & healthspan we desire. And for others, they may be "establishing" until they take their last breath. Either option is a win in my book, because ultimately you did not quit or give up on you 🙏🏾💜
I heard your word "Establish" last night for the first time and am glad I got to see it live, then wake up to catch up on emails and read this beautiful piece. Your wisdom shines so bright, dear man. I grasp at your words, even as I approach my 4th year on this GLP-1 excursion. I need to be reminded of these things, too. Chasing is tiring! Observing is refreshing. Establishing is accurate. Thank you.

Great article. I’m not sure what my word is as of yet.
