My sister made and sent me a small box of cherry chocolate chip cookies for my birthday. They are so yummy! And she also made me a soup-bowl cozy using a fabric decorated with cats. It's so cute and I can't wait to use it.

What's interesting about the nutritionist that I had @Lemoncake is that she recommended the drink "Boost" to me which ended up making me gain weight, so not much good she did. *Sigh* I had no experience with Protein shakes so I had no idea what it would do. Then she went on vacation and just never came back. :/ Suffice to say, I am hesitant about getting another one.
This weight issue is really out of control. Gaining 50 pounds in the past three months have been very traumatic for me, and only now was I told how out of balance my thyroid is. I am glad I have answers, but the damage is done. The effect on my mental health has been severe, I am drowning in self-hate and eating even MORE out of all my pain. I have no motivation to diet or exercise either. I just want to sit and feel sorry for myself and complain. My therapist says I have a "bully" in my personality that does this, and I believe him. I have named this "bully" my younger, skinnier self that can't drink and party anymore and is just pissed with me being sober and fat. I feel like Al Pacino from "Devil's Advocate" is mocking me by saying in my ear, "Vanity is my favorite sin" because I know how vain I really am - my woes with weight have almost nothing to do with health. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

There is a Get Smart marathon on tonight - I loved this show when I was little. I like it now because I understand the more adult jokes

In moments with the internal bully, practicing radical acceptance might help. It doesn’t mean you approve of or agree with what's happening, but it means recognizing the truth of your current situation without resisting it and adding extra layers of shame. Have you looked if you could get any extra governmental program or charity support ? I hope you can find some compassion for yourself. It's clear that you're going through a lot, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed and to take things one step at a time. __________________

Today started at 5:45 am, courtesy of my neighbours letting their cat out.
Then I began having feelings about the support group experience last night, which has given me insight and left me with more to process. So I couldn't get back to sleep. I'd rather not talk about the specifics of my realisation, but I'm feeling wrecked by it. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Thanks, Lost, it's been going OK. And I'm going to a concert tonight. Just wish it was less hot out, with it being outdoors--it's currently 91 F. |

Yikes....
I hope you have ways to stay hydrated. Venues here won't allow you to bring your own drinks. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

2 showers in 3 days? That's crazy talk. Look at you - made of water and money it seems.
In the summer, I go through 2 showers a day if I am outside biking or walking a lot. It just feels so much better to wash off the sunscreen, bug spray (ticks and chiggers all over here), and sweat. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
