Honestly, i wont even choose a movie or a restaurant, even if given a choice between two. I always choose the wrong one. Its the other persons fault.

On my own, im FINE and i have a great time.

I can only stomach roasted Brussels sprouts. The boiled ones from my childhood were just awful.

I'm coming over to try the grilled ones!

Trigger for weightloss:

Possible trigger:

Just saw my doctor today. I lost 10lbs in one month! She was so proud of me. It felt nice. I was afraid 10lbs wasn't good enough.

I now need to work on quitting smoking. Have to wait for insurance to approve the nose spray.

My therapist asked today if I was open to going to a grief group. I told him yes. I don't know if he means like a therapist led group or just a support group. Has anyone gone to one? Did it help?

I haven't myself, but after my Dad passed away my Mom went to a grief share group. it was very helpful for her, so helpful in fact that now she helps lead the group.

Time to head to school for the last night of my Stats class. So glad!! The prof said last week that if we want to stay and wait, she'll grade our final exams so we can know our grade for the class. I plan to!

and old. But this gives me hope!

OMG!!! You are not going to believe the outcome of final jeopardy today!!!

Its like the north and south pole switched polarity!
Its like Hillary won the election.
I am just... overwhelmed.
If you are a fan of big bang theory, you should not miss it.

I can die happy now.

I've just been doing protein shake with mct powder, protein bars, and finding easy dinners. The key is to keep carbs down way low. I've been making turkey chili, taco salads, shredded mexican chicken, meatballs, tortilla pizza, shrimp...all easy recipes. I never thought I could lose weight. I thought I was doing enough, but I was still eating carbs. I haven't had rice, pasta, bread, or cereal in 3 weeks. It's a little hard, but once you find foods you like, it's not too bad.

You can do it, Unaluna!

LonesomeTonight · Dec 12, 2018 at 09:21 PM

So, I just talked to my mom tonight, and she was upset that I'd never replied to an email she said she sent me a week ago. I did a search of my email in vain. I had her forward it to me. It looks like she sent it to herself instead of me. So...yeah think I'm off the hook. Sigh...

unaluna · Dec 12, 2018 at 09:31 PM

Okay, i'll hide it: jeopardy thing:

Possible trigger:

a total nerd guy answered a SUPER EASY Star Trek question WRONG: the other alien twin planet to Remus. You dont even have to be a trekkie to get it, just semi-conscious. Anyway, he has to turn in his nerd card now. Shave his beard, take off the glasses, get a cute haircut. Hes gonna hafta start being attractive to women. Okay, im horrible, i admit it. But he is no longer allowed in to comic con.

I'm going to try low carb for awhile. I need to lose back the 10 lbs I regained.

Dec 12, 2018 at 09:54 PM

Well all my hard work paid off! I got a 92 on the last exam!! I'd be celebrating tonight if I didn't have to work at 5am tomorrow!

DP_2017 · Dec 12, 2018 at 10:25 PM

Got hit on today, at my new job, on my first day, by a co worker LOL.

So funny, that never happens to me. Made me giggle.

Which is good I suppose, seeing as hell day is tomorrow

SheHulk07 · Dec 13, 2018 at 12:30 AM

I need to stop reading the news on this case especially before bed. But ugh, it's basically family so how do I just ignore it?!

ScarletPimpernel · Dec 13, 2018 at 01:38 AM

H went to hospital again this time for a bp of 150's over 90's. I told him he's having an anxiety attack and we got into a fight. I called his mom, but she can't get through to him. I tried calling, and it seems like he shut off his phone. I need help! I need help out of this relationship! I need help tonight! But I'm all alone.

Thanks, BCM. Of course I don't mind. There's something reassuring about animal company.
