It’s hard to do without feeling boastful, but here goes.  I am compassionate.  I am sensitive.

I tried to come up with a RAK, but wasn’t successful😊.  I got waved thru stop signs, there was nobody behind me in line at Walmart that I could let go ahead of me… But I like the thought of doing something kind on purpose, so I’ll see if I can do something in the next few days.  It’s actually kind of fun, just thinking about what to do.

I like that way of thinking.  Thanks

I’m so sorry to hear this.  They truly are our family, and sometimes their passing can hurt more than losing our human family.  Fifteen is a great age for a large dog, and I’m sure she was well loved.

My best to you, hugs.

I’m glad to see you went to your counselor, and didn’t give up.  It’s a big step, but can be SO helpful.

Aww, thanks Nikki!

Thanks.  It’s milk chocolate, namely Hershey bars…my weakness. I’ve noticed a few times now that the headaches get worse when I eat them, so I think I’ll avoid them for awhile and see if it helps.

I like that you are proud of your journey.  You should be!

My fear…people. I have social anxiety, especially one-on-one with people.  I’ve mentioned it to Nik, but I’m putting it out here.  Just joining this group and talking is a cause for stress.  But, I’m going to keep at it, and hopefully it will continue to get easier as I go, esp…[Read more]

Headache back today.  I had chocolate yesterday, will need to experiment a little and see if there’s a connection there.  Seem to feel better when I’m not eating it.  Was also moving patio furniture yesterday, so I might have irritated my neck again.

Today, I’m going to assemble the patio chairs that I didn’t get to do last week.  Since tom…[Read more]

Dumping is definitely not fun!  Remember that feeling, so you won’t be tempted again in the future.  It’s the surgery working for you😊

Sounds yummy!

Congrats!  Glad it went well.  Have fun!

I’m signed up, and looking forward to it.

I’m going to track everything I eat today, and try to stick to 1300 calories or less.  My ex went shopping with me yesterday, and I bought an outdoor dining set. He helped me assemble the table, but I have 6 chairs I’ll be assembling today.  I also assembled my new grill last night.  Busy day.

My cat stayed overnight at the vet yesterday after so…[Read more]

Congrats Karen!  And good luck with the classes.  Water exercise is about the best thing for those of us with bad knees.  Have fun!

Congratulations!  That’s exciting!

I hope you had good luck with the doctor today.  I’m dealing with depression and anxiety myself right now.  I’m starting with a new therapist May 5th, who also deals with eating disorders.  It’s hard to know who will be a good “fit”, but just going is a great first step.  It’s so smart to be proactive and not wait until your depression gets too…[Read more]

Not doing great on the fluids, but better than usual. I did get over 50 ounces once this week, so far.  Made an appointment with my neurologist, but can’t get in until next week, so I’m weaning myself off of the depression meds to see if that helps.  Made an appointment with a new psychologist that specializes in eating disorders, in addition to r…[Read more]
