Congrats Dana! you are doing so well. So proud
Sorry I missed out on this great milestone.
I am struggling a bit at the moment. Not feeling well. Doing lots of reading on TS but not able to comment.
I just happened to click on this thread and scrolled to the bottom. Man, I can’t even tell you how happy my heart is to see this number for you! Well well done my friend. So so happy for you and so dang proud of you.
Day 138. Hi everyone, hope you guys are all having good days. I’m working on some designs for ppl today, received a few more messages in my inbox for clients so that’s pretty good feeling. New machine will be here tomorrow:heart_eyes:. No treadmill yet, my taxes were supposed to be here but I haven’t received anything yet, still waiting on my retirement check from my old job as well. I hate how I get stressed about money. Life isn’t about money or material things. I’m literally doing what I’ve wanted since I got my first tattoo and pursuing my dream so damnit Mike just be happy and grateful man. I really am a dweeb . Much love everyone take care
I know what you mean about money, was thinking about it earlier. I really don’t want much, just enough to offer my children security. We have had to uproot twice because we can only afford to privately rent (house prices here are crazy!) and the landlord sold up. My parents still live in my childhood home but my kids will probably never have that connection to a place. It used to really stress me out, but I am trying to be more philosophical about it. We are all happy in our house now and can’t control the future.
Sorry, went on a bit there! It sounds like you have your dream job and that is great. Hope your money comes in soon. It is very easy for people with money to say that money doesn’t make you happy. It may not, but it certainly adds to problems when you don’t have it.
I forgot I even created a counter for it and never really established for myself any kind of guidelines for what would require a reset. I kept it in the back of my head for awhile as just being “time being more aware of my ED and trying to make more conscious/less emotion driven decisions.” Reflecting back now on these 6 months I have not binged and I have not had a day where I starved myself. I was really focused on intuitive eating and only had a few days where my anxiety got the best of me and I put off eating for most of the day but did eventually eat and remember to take care of myself later in the day. I haven’t been obsessively weighing myself anymore and have been able to keep a consistent weight for the first time in so many years for the past 12 weeks. This past weekend I actually made myself a meal plan and prepped and feel so good about the foods I have for this week.
I really didn’t expect anything to come of it when I made that tracker and I am so amazed to see actual progress happening.
Plus on top of that, because I am new driver, they gave me probably oldest truck and its compressor got broken, Bars dropped to zero and I was unnable to move. Others helped and called techs. Very operative. I am impressed.
Midday checkin Day15
Day has been decent. But I did have 1 issue with a cab driver that came to pick me up from the appt I had. I refused to get into the cab due to safety issues of the vehicle (it was obviously unsafe to drive… the driver even told me when he pulled up what was wrong with it) and also bcuz he was being very disrespectful When I refused to get into the cab, he called me selfish for not accepting the ride bcuz he had to drive a long way to get to me. I of course said my 2 cents bcuz I’m not only looking out for my safety but others as well. He glared at me and then sped off. So I called for another cab and explained my situation. Called 311 which is to report a complaint. And then called the management of that specific cab company and explained what happened. The driver was taken off duty due to an unsafe vehicle. He will have to get the cab fixed and repaired and in working order before being able to accept rides. The manager was very helpful and acted quickly. I don’t like to cause problems for people but honestly what if something happened while driving that caused an injury or death. It’s HIS responsibility to maintain his vehicle.
Anyway, I ate and now going to relax working on my dreamcatcher As well as do a meditation
Feeling proud of myself for standing my ground and using my voice to make a change!
