Congrats Molly for breaking 200!

In other news, I’m going on a desperately needed vacation! I will be going away with my parents until Saturday so probably won’t be able to post before then. The dialog in the comments continues to grow, I can’t wait to have tons to read when I get back.

Things have been going better with me despite other things getting more hectic and stressful around here. I can’t say I’m doing great but I do feel like it’s not as bad as the direction I was nearly headed.

When I’m feeling a little overwhelmed and stressed out, food makes me feel relaxed, like what I imagine drinking would for an alcoholic. I want to learn to cope without using food. I really want this to be a life change as opposed to just a successful diet. I’ve been off to a slow start over the past month or so, but I’m not too bummed about it because I feel like I’m getting stronger. I’m getting more assertive when it comes to taking care of me. I owe a lot of that strength to this website. I obviously can’t say that enough :-). It really feels nice that we’re all in it together and it will be even better when we’re all out of it together!

When I get back I’ll post another few pictures. I’m supposed to be packing now so I better get to it, because it’s late as per ‘oo-shu-al. Have a great rest of the week all!
