I’m doing okay.

A little tired and I feel like my thoughts are being blocked (which I suppose is good?) but I’m still chatty and generally unfocused.

Except I find myself hyperfocused on intermittent fasting and losing weight.

I can’t win. I just obsess over one thing or another.

From the looks of it, exhausting the mind by letting it think out everything that it wants instead of blocking the thoughts help. That's why I think out every obsessive thought I can for 20-30 minutes every night before I fall asleep.. It helps =/

I broke down and weighed myself. I weighed more than I thought. I need to lose weight so badly.

Possible trigger:

I feel like a whale so fat. I gained like 30lbs since I last weighed myself like a year ago.

I'm thinking of getting this. Is it worth it? It's on Amazon for like $80. Still cheaper than Chegg which had it for $87.

I need to lose weight too cogladaid. I've been using Noom. I've lost a little weight (I don't want to tell you the numbers in case it triggers you) but approx 18% of what I need to lose to feel comfortable. I need to lose more than that to be really healthy but if I could get to the first number I'd be happy, I think. Noom has been pretty helpful. You have to weigh yourself every day. I don't have an ED but I do find it triggering when it goes up. I'm like, WTH? But that's normal. Weight loss isn't linear. HUGS Kit

Oh no worries I’m not triggered. I don’t want to say something and upset someone else.

Possible trigger:

I want to lose about 100lbs.

I signed up for Noom and cancelled right away. Eek. It’s probably helpful but I’m trying to avoid behaviours.

I hate seeing the numbers go up.

Yes, I bought the paper version but I'm sure the ebook is great too.

It's for sure worth it in my opinion. It's highly informative.

Also I think they increased the price. I bought mine for $55 something. Just looked back at my order.

Me too. OMG. And I still can't stop eating candy. There was a positive development last night though, I hit a wall where I started feeling nauseated. That can be a big help if it keeps happening.

Blue_Bird · Mar 31, 2021, 04:40 PM

I'm trying to learn how to play Yu-Gi-Oh! so I can maybe try playing with my friend sometime. He doesn't know how to play/or have any cards but if I learn I could teach him, he picks up those types of games easily. And I have a few decks we could play with

So so, thanks. Having massively more problems here from the new roommate. I might ask to move anywhere to get away from her. She's a very toxic character. How are you doing, Kit?

cogladaid · Mar 31, 2021, 04:53 PM

I talk to my doctor tomorrow afternoon. Nervous/excited.

Sorry about your new roomie. That's a bummer. I hope you can move away from her soon.

I'm doing okay. Just tired. I took Friday off of work but I am going to the DMV to try to get my Real ID. I hope it doesn't take all day. Hopefully I will still have time to observe Good Friday.
