  • I'm so overwhelmed with the support and advice! A friend is coming to get me today and we're going to the food bank, and I also met a dairy farmer who gave me a buch of raw milk and I've just started a batch of yogurt. Things are looking up! Though my situation hasn't changed yet, I'm feeling so much more hopeful and…
  • And thank you guys for even just providing me a safe platform to speak of such things. I'm too embarrassed to talk to my friends about this kind of stuff.
  • You guys are all incredibly kind. I will start my job in December and hopefully many of these worries will be resolved once I have a steady income. And I live near Bozeman, Montana for reference.

This week I added more eggs, cheese, meat, yogurt, and almond butter into…
  • Thank you all for your advice! It's true, that 500 calories is only equivalent to a few pieces of toast and some juice, but I had gotten so into the habit of eating at 1200 that eating more just doesn't come as naturally. I decided to go up more slowly and am at 1450 daily goal now, but still tend to eat under my calorie…
  • I'm obsessed with oatmeal and have a few go-to oatmeal toppings. Try: dried unsweetened cherries, walnuts, and goji berries. Or fresh chopped ginger, brown sugar, and walnuts. Or, ginger, dates, and pecans. I could eat oatmeal 3 times a day and be perfectly happy haha
