Highlights from this day
- wrong_network — i cook more now than i used to, i just eat less of it, and that compromise saved that part of me, take that with a pinch of salt 18:13
- wrong_network — i feel like a fraud reading the wins channel, does that go away 18:15
- mira_pins — the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it 18:32
i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it

not the easy way
update from 22 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it
the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment
the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight, we shall see
right so i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number, not advice obviously
the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it

the quiet is strange isnt it
coming back to this it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things, ymmv
has anyone found a way to celebrate that isnt about a number
does anyone talk to somebody professionally about this side of it
