Crawling back in shame - likely contains triggers
I have so many “reasons” (ie excuses) why things fell apart and I gained it all back. I guess they don’t even really matter. It all boils down to - if I loosen the reins a little bit, if I stop logging and weighing and all that crap, I end up spinning out of control for months. I smoked on and off for years. Like 2 packs a…

Depression and obesity
I am struggling with depression. I have been treated for depression for about 15 years or so, so it isn’t new. I take meds and have for years.

And by that I mean having some of the casserole I made for the family, all weighed out, not eating a whole bag of chips and nothing else for the day. It is SUCH a pain though. Weighing out all the ingredients, figuring out how…

Somebody has to be last, right?
I ran my first 5k on 10/27 after "graduating" and my time was just silly - a 56:30 finish. I took pride in it, even as I was amused by how slow I am. Everyone says not to worry, you won't be last. Well, someone needs to be last, right? And that someone was me. Around here the walkers start BEFORE the runners, so I was…
