    My bestie reposted this a little while ago online. I don’t think they don’t want to protect and provide. It’s in their dna. I think some of them are on powertrips. I think some men don’t realize their partners are just as exhausted as them because a women may not have a physically demanding job and they do. Some of them have childhood trauma or relationship trauma and it makes it hard for them to see past that. Anyway. That had my thoughts provoked for like 20 minutes.
    I'm so glad I can't relate to this sweeping generalization ("a whole era of men")

    It's a pretty wide net, how'd you get so lucky?

    I agree with your bestie. Just let her know there are still some good men out there. You just need to know what to look for and what to avoid.

    I once had a boyfriend who could do this thing where I would cross my arms & he would lift me up & sort of bend & shake & my back would crack in the most wonderful way. I did not properly appreciate that

    My neighbors teenaged son keeps running away. Like wtf is going on in that house. They sent him to
    Boot camp he ran away from boot camp..
    I wanna be like yo. Get your kid some therapy or something. Because punishment isn’t working. Obviously he’s struggling with something deeper.

    I don’t really care that I’m fat. What does bother me immensely is that my eating is out of control. All this work… all these years… and sometimes I feel I’m back at the beginning having no control and no idea why I’m using food as a comfort despite the whole thing being uncomfortable.

    Thank you for letting me journal here.

    This! I feel this so much.

    I feel like exercise is so much easier than not over eating. I never really stopped working out but somehow I lost the thread of how to control my diet. Now I am back in the groove, but it still worries me because this is a weight loss phase and I’m not sure I ever learned how to maintain.

    I do find it comforting that so many of us have gone through something similar. Not just comforting, but also inspiring and motivating. It also makes us much more real and relatable rather than just an image that must be maintained.

    I knew I was not alone in this and that is comforting, but I also hate this is familiar to you as well.

    I appreciate you sharing a bit, itchmy. I have so much more to say about all this. I love your second paragraph. The idea that you simply need to control your eating, change your habits, count your calories, etc with no attention given to the reasons we overeat is the default of the “fitness” industry… especially this place.

    Why can’t I find an open Starbucks or any coffee shop for that matter?

    One of the last things my dad cooked was a pot of chili. I remember picking up all the ingredients for him. How good it smelt cooking. After he passed, I took the container of leftovers out of his freezer, and brought it home with me. It’s cold, and raining today. I pulled the chili out of my freezer. I’ve teared up a few times when I look at it. Chili is what’s for dinner.

    I’ve been following this lady on TikTok who’s hiking the Appalachian Trail with her son. She is about two years older than I am. She’s still in New Hampshire and it’s mid-October. And I really hope she makes it to Katahdin.🤞
