Exciting day over here! 🎉 I got my new smart food scale today and had to try it out right away. still struggling a bit on this end with weighing my food and then I saw this. They make everything “smart”nowadays 🤨 not sure if it’s a good thing 😀 but it did make the weighing process easier today! It syncs directly with my phone, so tracking is way easier and way less stressful. Feeling pretty excited to see how this little gadget helps me stay on track!

Whom here still after losing a bunch of weight and getting buckets of compliments and seeing the results still look at themselves in the mirror and go. This and this and that I don’t like. Is it just me that still find fault in myself ?

Blended family life comes with a lot of love… and moments that require real conversations. I recently had to advocate for my daughter in a situation that didn’t sit right with me. My partner’s son (24) tends to play rough with her (14). This has been brought up before—not just by me, but even his girlfriend has mentioned it—and it still continues. What may feel like “just playing” to him doesn’t always feel safe or comfortable to her. There was also a moment where he told her to remove her Mary necklace because of his personal beliefs. Even if it was said jokingly, it didn’t land that way. As her mom, that was my cue to step in. Not to create conflict— but to reinforce boundaries, respect, and emotional safety. I shared with my partner: - She’s still a kid - He’s a grown adult - And awareness of tone, strength, and influence matters 💡 What this taught me: Sometimes boundaries aren’t about one moment… they’re about patterns. And when something has already been communicated and continues, it’s important to calmly and clearly reinforce the standard. In blended families especially: ✨ Respect goes both ways ✨ We don’t force beliefs onto kids ✨ “Just joking” doesn’t override how someone feels Not sharing this to call anyone out— but to remind us that advocating for our kids is part of the job. Because they’re always watching what we allow.

I got pulled into this community so quickly, I didn’t even properly say hey! Typical me to make the second step before the first! 😅 Well I‘m Ramona, soon 23, from Jestetten in south Germany, bachelor student in marketing. I fell in love with sport (gymnastics) when I was around 6 but my lazy ass stopped. I really want to get my muscles and stamina back to have a healthier body again! That’s my main goal but also to meet amazing people along the way! Lovely to be part of this great community 🫶🏻

Eating oily food makes me feel ill. So today, I took charge and decided to give my body a break. Ransacked my fridge and pantry to find what I could use. Ta-da....my throw together quinoa and tuna 'bowl' with veggies! PS: can you spot the hard boil egg white? I can't take the yolk, so I threw that away.
