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.🤞3

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.
Reading your thoughts really hit me in how we view ourselves. I do not see you as fat in any way. You are in great shape even if you feel out of control right now. I will always see myself as fat, even when I am not. My emotions are constantly trying to thwart my own control regarding eating. Yes, I eat my emotions or stuff them all together. Maybe this is part of the whole comfort issue, however, you will not always be out of control...I know you'll figure it out. 🦋

This is one of the sweetest things I’ve read. Very sad. But very sweet.1 -

I’m struggling with this right now as well - and haven’t worked out in 2 weeks smh - I’ve considered getting my gym mbrship back even though I have a home gym now - it’s weird but I think i prefer going to the public gym - I’m also drinking too much lately which leads to not giving a chit what I eat - but today is a new opportunity to make better choices right -7 -

Right there with you. I’m getting 1-2 workouts a week. Max. I’m not drinking much lately but still eat like I’m drunk 😂. Absolutely. No guilt or beating myself up about it. Just try to figure out today.
I miss all the equipments options of a real gym.2 -
For me, there’s something about being near people even if I don’t want to actually interact with them that gives me energy. Plus the act of paying for it and actually going to a place means I’m more likely to do a workout than I am if I use equipment at home.I don’t really care that I’m fat.

Also, one of my two gyms is closing down. Luckily, it’s just my back up. But I need to keep it in mind so that external factors don’t have a negative impact on my health.

I'm always amazed at how much traffic there is in Manhattan - even on Sunday0

Regrets. In the past year I've realized I have many of them. I always saw them as learning blocks but not anymore. Some decisions I've made were out of selfishness, being lost and just plain self sabotage. It's a hard pill to swallow when you realize you carry lots of regret. I am now slowly trying to embrace those regrets and telling myself it's okay to have them. How else would I grow as a human being without self accountability?4

The little Sparrow who flew into my siding door. He just flew away. Thank goodness I didn't feel like a sparrow funeral today3

Y’know what I remember? I remember cleaning the lint off the tip of a needle on the record player4

Regrets. This struck a chord. It took someone dying for me not to have them anymore, but now I better understand myself too.1

Just went into the washroom and my makeup looked horrible but it looks fine in my office so I am a little bit horrified at the prospect of which location is telling me the truth3

How incredibly hard and exhausting it is to just exist sometimes. I've been binge eating since Sunday. Yesterday I was so bloated and tired from constantly shoveling food down.
It's been awhile since this has happened. I know why it has. It's a feeling of being overwhelmed, it's panic- a self soothing method that does little to soothe and actually causes more harm than good.
Ah therapy, it's calling my name again lol 😆

What does it mean when I no longer do the unhealthy or self-destructive things I used to do? Am I healed or am I just not triggered?0

Not triggered would seem to be an outworking of healing ❤️🩹? So yes to both? Evolved? Probably rhetorical so I’ll bid you adieu.1 -

I posted in a public forum. There is no such thing as rhetorical here. I appreciate your input.1 -
