    Air conditioning 24/7 until November- if we’re lucky. I see our low nightly temperatures exceed the Canadian high temps. Nothing like a humid 85 degrees at midnight!

    7 pm, the sun is setting and it’s 94 degrees out there. 🤬 I know this happens every year but I still don’t like it. It’s just not right!

    My eating is out of control. I’ve been dealing with the sudden death of my beloved nephew last week. The whole family is devastated. And I’m dreading the trip to Ohio for the memorial service. Being far away allows me to pretend it isn’t true.
    I’ve never expected that someone I held as a baby and watched grow into a fine man would be gone before me. And to ache for my sister who has lost one of her children.
    So I’ve been soothing the grief by comfort eating. I need to get it under control.

    Oh, Yooly. What a heartbreak. So sad to think of what you and your family are experiencing.

    How how how do we learn new methods of self-soothing? Keeping myself busy is the only one that seems(ed) to work for me, until it didn't.

    You are smart, strong and determined. I hope that helps you hold onto a thread of control - or a thread connected to the thread of control.

    Morning hug for @Yoolypr! (Lunchtime hug in Texas, I guess!)

    Thank you all! Or perhaps y’all. It’s a comfort to have so much support. I’m feeling more in control today. Not so much because I want to be in control but that I can’t let the eating get away from me.

    First one down and I think I need a little nap from all this excitement and exercise today. Can’t believe how taxing that whole experience was 😜

    It is … way too tempting for me to try to do something like that soon I’m afraid…🙂
