Aw thanks y’all! Along with losing weight I’m trying to tackle my emotional bs so that weight loss isn’t something done by just CICO but also by me learning how to value my life and health.

I’ve had a lifetime of apathy and denial and self loathing. Food has been my drug and now I am in recovery. Food has to be my fuel not my crutch.

If I don’t deal with my emotional bs I’ll be yo-yo-ing forever.

Food is my fuel, not my crutch!....LOVE it...my new mantra....

I totally understand what you're saying about the limitations of getting older. My wife and I are getting our house ready to be listed next week and the physical challenges are difficult to overcome. I've sold and bought hones twice in my younger years and I don't remember it ever being difficult....Anyway, we're done with the hard stuff (bathroom remodel) and are meeting with the realtor this afternoon...

Today I have an appointment to get my iPhone battery serviced. It’s draining to fast and it’s quite annoying lol

I’ve decided to stay off of the scale for this week. I’m becoming obsessive with it.

I am going to try and learn to trust the process.

I’m planning to make cookies to mail to my father in law for Christmas. It will be a good day if I don’t sample the batter or taste a cookie. I can’t have a little. I’ll end up eating all of it.

Best to make it and pack it in a mailer and then take it straight to the post office tomorrow.

I got my new planner for next year yesterday and I’m excited to start using it.

I get one every year but give up in like March. My goal this year is to stick to it.

I’m looking into some underwater headphones so I can listen to my audiobooks when I do laps. I’m looking for one that can sync to kindle if anyone has recommendations.

I’m definitely planning to join a gym in January.

Hope you were successful on the cookie front. I keep thinking I'm a bit better on that front - and sometimes I am - but wow - it is such a battle.

Curious about your iphone battery visit. I lost my phone last week - was phone free for a few days and finally bought a used iphone 8. They reset the phone and updated the IOS. My first day using it I had to charge it twice - and that was for a couple of phone calls and texts only.

I really don't want to go out into the world of retail - but alas it seems like I might have to.

Did they help??????

@lauriekallis when you go to the battery part in settings it will tell you the capacity and if it needs service. Mine needed to be replaced and it was $50 including tax.

It was required to have a reservation and it took me 3 weeks to get the appointment. But so glad I did. It’s working like a charm now.

I made it through the cookies without eating them. Now that is a huge victory for me! Look at me grow lol

Major accomplishment on the cookie front! Good for you. It must have felt/feel so good.

The battery in this phone is at 86% - I don't think that is low enough to warrant a replacement? Maybe I'll book an appointment and see what they say. Thank you!

We are getting used to a new schedule with Boyfriend's new job. He is teaching a class in the evenings, and that's something where I need to work out with myself what I'm doing in the evenings. Sitting around reading books and stuffing my face isn't an option. On the other hand, by the time he goes up to start class, I'm often pretty low on energy, so "It's a great time to work out!" or "It's a great time to get stuff done" isn't exactly an option either. I want to be awake when he gets done so I can hear how it went and such before we go to bed. So I'm thinking about things a lot. I think once we get the rhythm of the job it will be easier.

This morning I got on my scales and the batteries were dead....I went to the store and got new batteries, Diet Pepsi on sale, bottled water and some mustard....came home to fix my roast beef roll up on flatbread and the bread was gone....thinking it might have slipped behind the table I moved the table and knocked bottled water off and the bottles rolled under the table....moved the table, got the water but no flat bread....grands must have used it for something....made a sandwich on bread and thought about making some banana bread....granddaughter came in the kitchen and wanted to fry cheese sticks....I told her to let me know when she was finished and left the kitchen to eat my lunch....one hour later I returned to the kitchen and immediately felt my blood boiling and my blood pressure raising...honest to God it was a nightmare...she made 8 cheese sticks and had the entire sink full of dirty dishes, bowls, pans, etc....the garbage can was covered in flour,egg shells everywhere....I was livid....I went to her room and told her she had a mess to clean up in the kitchen.....she said she would clean it up but it was like that when she went in there!....OMG.....two hours later, I am now making banana bread in a CLEAN kitchen....and I am still mad!
