Goals for 1/18 - yoga ✅ - Crochet ❌ - 32 oz of water ✅ - Laundry ✅ - Change sheets ✅ - Job hunt 🤷‍♀️ Daily gratitude: I actually slept last night, and my lingering headache is gone.

Didn’t sleep enough last night, got to work late, and now my computer won’t work correctly. And where’s IT support? Nowhere to be found. And where’s my coworker who was supposed to come in and help me? Also nowhere to be found. Looks like my long day just got even longer. I’m so tired of being the only one I can rely on.…

About me: - I’m Emily. 5’4, 31 years old, joined this app and this thread to get into healthier habits and try to gain some weight. I also want to improve my mental health (get my anxiety under better control). In addition to goals I’m going to try to post one good thing that happened to me every day, to help me focus more…

Goals for 12/30 - drink 40 oz of water ❌ - Yoga ✅ - one tidying up chore ❌ Finally feeling a little bit better. Doing nothing today was my version of self-care. Tomorrow I’ll get some stuff done, but for tonight I’m going to bury my nose in Middle Earth. In other words, read “The Fellowship of the Ring”

My IBS flared up yesterday and I can’t pinpoint a cause, but I’m still feeling bad this morning and now I’m scared to eat anything. And the anxiety makes the IBS symptoms worse so I’m caught in a cycle that I don’t know how to break. I guess this is why I’m not making any progress with my weight gain goals…because it feels…

I know peanuts and peanut butter are a definite no-no. And eating too much sugar by itself, especially in the morning. The rest I’m still trying to figure out, since I was only diagnosed about three months ago. It’s so frustrating not knowing what’s safe to eat and what’s not. Like my symptoms flared up really bad…

Goals for 12/30 - drink 40 oz of water - Yoga - one tidying up chore Not setting myself any food-related goals today. Ate something yesterday that really didn’t agree with me. No idea what, because the only new thing I ate was for breakfast, and symptoms didn’t start until after lunch, which was something I’ve eaten a…

Most of the wrapping is done, the cookies have been made and passed the “quality inspection” I put them through (I ate one. It was yummy). The temperature is now 20 degrees F with a wind chill of 4, but I have power and heat so I’m definitely grateful for that.

It’s 5:30 pm, so a bit late for posting goals. But tonight my goals are to wrap presents, make some snickerdoodle cookies, and try not to freeze my butt off. 27 degrees (Fahrenheit) but the wind chill makes it feel like 13 🥶

Haven’t wrapped anything for Christmas. Still have two gifts that haven’t even shipped yet, and I don’t even have a working printer to be able to print out and wrap up a receipt for what I ordered. So my dad may just be getting a hug and an apology, which makes me feel totally inadequate as a daughter. Haven’t decided/been…
