Continuing my thought above...I think we have all gone through similar crap in our lives, and that causes issues with food and body image, whether you binge eat or barely eat at all. It's still a miserable lifestyle. Is there anyone on here who does not have a mood disorder like depression or bipolar? It's likely most of us do.


I am going to start with a few positives I did today:

I ate a leftover piece of my daughter's birthday cake.

I ran less than I wanted to in my head.

I didn't step on ths scale this morning! Though I have my period to thank for that, my weight is always crazy when I'm on it, and I figured, why bother stressing out?

I did something for myself by watching an episode of a TV show in a series I've been watching, snacking on Cheezitz with it (I'm addicted to those things).


It's always one day at a time. It's going to be a hectic week, and I am afraid that will affect my eating & exercise habits. H is flying to Toronto on Tuesday after teaching school and arriving back very late Wed. night, so late it will be after midnight & really Thursday morning. H's trip is for the partial share he owns in a company in India that makes nanotubes. They modified the method he developed in his graduate thesis, and consult him all the time, and by a fluke ended up finding a way to manufacture nanotubes with less junk in the batch. The CEO is a good person, has gotten a lot of good press in India, and now they are trying to get funding for the company as really nobody wants to buy nanotubes except to do research, and they need an application where only nanotubes work or nanotubes are superior to the existing method. We'll see. This company is around 7, 8 years old now, I think. My daughter has a choir singing thing at her school on Thursday evening, and my daughter's birthday is on Friday. Saturday, my mom is having an extended family birthday party for my daughter. It should be fun. Both my sisters will be there with my nieces & nephews. One of my sisters has 3 girls, the other 2 boys. Then, a shortened week of school, class Christmas party on Thursday with early release, and I told the room mom I would help her as she is really stressed (she was here for my daughter's birthday party yesterday).


I hope everyone is doing OK. Hugs to those who need them. Right now, my mood is a bit less manicky, especially when it comes to be irritable or interrupting people talking. Maybe the Seroquel increase is helping. I hope so. My head has been noisy with racing thoughts. They are not voices, they are my own thoughts, just one after another after another, nonstop, a giant tangle.
