Checking-in with yesterdayās numbersā¦
Firstly, thank you all for the happy birthday messages, I appreciate you for making me smile 
I did go out for lunch with my Auntie, Uncle, and a family friend, that part was nice. I also attended the Safe Soulmates online group in the evening, where the facilitator had designed a quiz for me based on video clips from a P!nk concert she could hear from her street, and then some questions about cats, so that was nice too.
Once again I was let down by my dad and his family. His wife, and her 2 adult children didnāt even msg me, and my dad called me at 8pm and the call lasted less than a minute. It makes me so angry because if it was the other way around theyād completely disown me. At the very least it would be a major issue.
On Wednesday evening I went for a haircut, and when I came out I went into the shop nextdoor to buy a zero sugar drink, when I was trying to walk round towards the counter, a group of adults blocked my path and started making pig noises at me and laughing their heads off. Long story short I ended up having the worst binge ever with McDonaldās āfoodā, which I donāt even like. I was ill all day with my diabetes on my birthday because of it. I was eating leftovers as well so that didnāt help. Never again!
Friday evening I went to my brotherās, my SIL did the cooking, and my dad and his family were there too. I hate to say I was dreading it. I really canāt be fake with people. I tried to focus on my nieces. I was expected to eat with them so I did. I managed to resist cake though, as they had bought me mango from my favourite shop instead. When it came time to leave, I wanted to get a taxi, like I did on the way there, but noooo, my dad wouldnāt let me, he said heād drop me home first, but as soon as we got in the car they said the plan had changed and we had to drop his wife off at their home in my hometown, bcuz she wanted to prepare the house for meeting her eldest sonās gf for the first time, then, when we got there, they decided we would wait until she felt she had done enough, before FINALLY taking me home, on the way to collect the gf from the train stationā¦2hrs later than if Iād have gotten a fkin taxi like I was planning to. 
Saturday, I hoovered again, as some contractors were coming to install a new intercom system in the block of flats I live in, and they needed to come in to every flat to replace the handset.
I also had to have a tooth removed yesterday as an emergency, because I was in agony, and since all the dentists are now privatised, the other option was to be referred to a specialist hospital to have the root canal taken out and re-done, and a crown on top, and that was going to cost Ā£2K+, but the appointment, small xray, and extraction, was Ā£319. Itās rather painful and I didnāt sleep too well, but Iām keeping on top of the pain.
I also weighed myself last night to try to help me resist ordering the takeaway I was cravingā¦it backfired and had the opposite effect, I am now the heaviest Iāve been all year and āf**k itā mode is activated. Today, I am a whole stone heavier than I was this time last week. I need to figure something out, trying the gym and swimming at a quieter time would be a startā¦
I hope youāre all having wonderful sober weekends.
