42 yo female

5 ft 7 200 lbs

Goal weight: 150.

I have autoimmune thyroid disease plus now I’m in perimenopause. I gained 40 lbs in 3 yrs. Feeling hopeless.

ok I have been listening for a few years now and he brings his ex up all the time like even more so recently in a nostalgic longing sort of way. is this not weird? Why did they break up???

Has his plastic surgeon ever spoken about Michael’s surgeries, if he ever advised him to not do something etc.?

is there any way for me to get dog pee and vomit stains out of a wool rug?

Was he romantic with anyone else besides Lisa Marie? We know he had his crushes but I feel like we really don’t know and wouldn’t women come forward by now? Isn’t it surprising how he was the biggest star but wasn’t dating anyone huge or that we knew of? I know MJ was shy, complicated, unique etc. but I want to know more!

I just listened to this episode and what? These super fans would just walk backstage and no one would stop them? How did this kid/guy afford to chase Michael everywhere and get into everything he did??? His stories are crazy! Are his photos posted anywhere? I found his friend who Michael called Waldo on instagram.

I have hashi’s for 19 years just in the past two my weight has increased 40 lbs. Is this thyroid? my age? What else? I’m so depressed and overwhelmed by all the fixes I see online. my fasting glucose was 94 am I insulin resistant? My thyroid labs are normal but some would say not optimal?

My friend and I are seeing Michael again tonight - her 3rd time my 6th and the theater is almost SOLD OUT still!!! This is suburban MN.

So… Chandlers are the first accusers but did Evan come up with this or did someone else who wanted it out for MJ whisper the idea? I don’t understand where Victor Gutierrez fits in here or if “higher powers” orchestrated the whole thing???

Lookinh for someone good with thick hair.

So do we like him or not? I just listened to him on The MJCast and I really enjoyed listening to him and what he had to say about Michael. I searched him on Reddit and fans did not like him at all in a fairly recent post. It sounds like he knew Michael since they were teens!

Since I’ve been going down MJ rabbit holes I’ve noticed that he is different within each album— thriller still has some disco to his moves, Bad he seems the most masculine to me— like very in control, then something changes w Dangerous and so forth. Do you think this was on purpose like reinventing himself or did he just change? I’m not sure how to explain it— he dominates the stage through each era, but they are all different in a way not sure if his changing appearance affects that too?

I just listened to Brett Barnes interviewed on the MJcast. Wow! Was that ever interesting, he sounds so incredibly sincere. I understand his choice to remain in the background, but I wish this interview was more well known. I only knew about it from reading about the MJcast on here.

I am listening to the Carol Lamere interview on the MJcast. First of all, what do people think of her? Is she credible? She comes off kinda weird to me and she just throws Karen Faye under the bus. What is the info on Karen Faye?

Anyone surprised this wasn’t in the movie? I know they couldn’t do a 5 hr movie but I feel like there could have been more to at least a 2.5 hr film.

I have been doing some deep dives into MJ and I am like 99% convinced he is innocent, but the LaToya stuff concerns me. On another reddit post, someone pointed out that in her lawsuit against her ex husband she never stated she was forced to say those things about Michael. She highlighted abuse, but nothing about what she said about her brother. This looks bad to me...I know the argument is she was forced to by her husband, but do we have anymore evidence than that? The post also highlighted that she went straight to the DA office without getting paid off etc. and that Katherine paid her 30k a month.

My sister is 47 years old and still lives with my parents. She has never had a steady job. She has RA, she's ADHD, she has abused alcohol and weed....she is a victim all the time and always has an excuse. The last 6 years have been hell. She periodically has a breakdown and then won't come out of her room or eat because she says no one loves her and this is very hard for my 77 year-old mother to deal with. I am really mad at her because of all the stress she has caused my mom.

Now she is obsessed with the idea that I don't like her so then she has mental breakdowns about that which then is used to make me feel like it's my fault. This keeps happening. She won't do what she is supposed to do. She initiated family therapy with my mom and me, I think hoping the therapist would side with her, well no! The therapist told her she needs to go back to DBT and my sister is currently in a breakdown because of what I said in therapy.

I worry so much about dealing with her once my parents are gone. I feel helpless and I am tired of being the "adult" all the time and having to try hard to not let her affect me. My mom's life is hard enough as we just put my dad in a memory care center and since my sister lives with her, my mom has to deal with her mental breakdowns. I am also mad at my mom because all these years she hasn't put her food down. It's just a mess and I feel hopeless about it.

My sister has caused so many of her own problems and problems in general over the year, but yet she is the victim who no one loves or understands. Can people get better at all from this? Last summer she even cut her wrist and showed me like it was my fault. I am close to my mom and I love her so much and I hate seeing her spend the last years of her life dealing with my sister. She's sucking the life out of everyone.
