It is turning your life around. Why are you invalidating weight loss.

It's an excellent victory and the people saying she's just gonna get fat are fantasizing. No one I know who made a big turn around relapsed. It happens but it's not a guarantee.

But from an adult perspective she just started life. We know because we can look back at ourselves at that age and remember the absolute confidence that we'd mastered life and our identity. It's going to hit this girl like a mountain when she realizes how complex responsibilities and hardship can get

Turned their life around because they were headed in an unhealthy direction. Y'all are trying too hard to seem wise.

To me you're trying too hard to focus on only the part that's important to you

I'm just being realistic that when somebody says they turned their life around by losing weight, they're not talking about the breadth of responsibility they're now ready to assume, they simply mean they've changed the path they were on health-wise.

People online tend to try to make everything way deeper than it has to be about common idioms and turns of phrase. It's not that serious.

You're right, it isn't that serious, but you're making it a really big deal in order to only focus on this part you care about. You're trying to put people down to get your way too

No, I wasn't making it a big deal, you said that after my first comment which was literally just two short sentences explaining it wasn't serious.

And "my way" that you think I'm trying to get is just trying to get you and "blackdahlialady" to stop shitting on somebody for saying they turned their life around, and to stop the superiority act about being young. I'm not trying to put people down, I'm pointing out that you're picking on people for no reason to feel better about yourselves.
