I am back (TW)

ClassicAnonymous17 December 30th, 2020

I left because I thought I was good.

I thought I was better.

I haven't logged on in almost 2 years.

Kinda hurting. Pride wise.

I know it's ok to need help!

But at least I am here.

At least THIS is an option!

God, I wish I had your commitment! :D

Holidays can be tough, but you're lucky, Christmas is over now πŸ˜‚

I really hope that even if you can't get your job back immediately, you will go back to exercise as soon as you can. If you loved it so much you should go back to your old routine. Just don't do it because you have to, don't do it because you won't be able to work otherwise, just do it for yourself, because you know that you like to do it.

It's hard to stay motivated but by the way you talk about it it seems like you already have your motivation.

I know and 102 days my husband and I will be moving and my husband told me he said One requirement for our house has to be it has to have a two car garage one garage for a vehicle one garage for a home gym because honestly I don't see myself going back to having that kind of self-control I've pulled myself off eating and drinking like this before but doing it again after being so strict on myself for about 4-5 years I feel weak to the point I make myself mad I'm like you've done this before you've lost so much weight now you've put it back on. ___ I don't really talk about food because I do have an eating disorder thanks to covid I I've started puking up my food after I eat. Knowing that I can't go to the gym and work it off healthy I've turned to oneI've turned to one of the worst possibilities

@ClassicAnonymous17

I have to admit it's hard for me to imagine trying to lose weight. I have the opposite problem. I'm skinny and everytime I am anxious or depressed or whatever, I have troubles eating. Not because I want to lose weight, quite the opposite actually, I always wanted to be fatter. Last time I was depressed I didn't eat anything for weeks until I weighted less than 36 kg (79lbs, thanks google). Everytime I was forcing myself to eat I would throw up. It was so exhausting because I didn't even have the energy to cook anymore, I was weak and spending energy to cook something only to throw it up one minute later was awful and frustrating.

I was able to go back to my normal weight eventually, but only when I stopped concentrating on the food and I started thinking more about my life. Once things got better with my life I was finally able to eat again.

I'm not sure how it works for you. But don't be too hard on yourself because of your weight. It won't help you. If you spend your day thinking about your weight and about the fact that you won't be able to work if you don't lose weight again its only gonna get things worse.

Try to eat as healthy as you can, but don't feel bad if you can't. As I said before, it's a tough time. Nobody can be at their best now. It's completely normal that in this situation you weren't able to eat as good as you were eating before.

bulimic - is very hard to deal with I'm sorry you had to go through that

previously there was a two-part post I don't think you got it if you did I'm sorry I mentioned it.

Like you mentioned earlier it does help to focus on the positives you have a place to stay you're not freezing you do have food in a person who loves you you don't know how often my thankful list runs through my head very similar to what you said.

Thank you sweetieπŸ’Ÿ

He really is a good dog he has never snipped at me my husband my child but him in the dog that we've had for years do not get along. They can NOT be in the same room together even if there's a fence between them. One stays upstairs one stays downstairs. When I take one another out one has to go into the bathroom just so they don't see each other. πŸ’”πŸ’”

It's real nice thank you for providing me that link. But at this point we can't even try it. Dog#1 now if dog#2 comes up the stairs dog number one won't even show an aggressive side he will lay over and play dead until he feels it okay. Yesterday my little one open the downstairs gate dog #2 came right to the bedroom dog growling.

@juliak1968

Dog number one is 35 in tall dog dog number is barely over two foot

Dog number one is a cuddle buddy!!!

Dog number to completely wants to be left alone. Feed him water him take him out for a walk. He doesn't really do anything. He just wants to put his head right on your lap. Dog number one will roll on his back and curl up in your lap

@juliak1968

Dog number to like I said he is very lazy. all he wants to do is lay on the couch put his head on my lap and go for a walk.

but dog number two in dog number one don't get along so this is not going to work out.

* Where we live when I tell people about dog #1 his breed they laugh & say how in the world did you manage to get one of those where we live.

Dog number one is a rescue as well.

*He was not a legal rescue his owners were beating him and my husband's old HR boss came into work one day crying that she couldn't stand it anymore what the neighbors were doing to the dog so she dognapped it.

But she was allergic to dogs so she couldn't keep him

I might get a bird, or an aquarium, but i cant really have pets so i think fish may be the way to go.

@juliak1968 I love fishes so much I don't old place where we used to live me and my husband had got robbed while we were at work and the burglars had took our entire aquarium set upπŸ˜“ we lost a few end tables to chairs.

In a way I'm very thankful at that point that we didn't make enough money for jewelry and really nice things or else we would have been completely screwed over

do you know about how big your aquarium set is going to be do you know how many fishes you are going to buy or what kind of fishes you were going to buy

I think about a 30 - 40 gallon would be nice and not to big. I'd like to get an Oscar and feeder fish, or a turtle, (I used to have a python). Id have to put some more thought into that. Id like it to look like ancient greece and be fresh water but look like salt water with pretty bluish light shows
