No, it was other employees.
Thank youš. Yeah, I sweat when Iām nervous (like talking to customers and coworkers). I might not quit. Weāll see. Idk.
Good. I find itās so much easier to handle things when I can process it in conversation with people. It also gives me enough distraction while what happened kicks in. Other people can give their thoughts instead of just the 5 different mes fighting each other about what is or isnāt, and what should be or should not be.
As far as quitting goes, you donāt have to decide right now. I donāt want your world to get smaller over something like this.

Iām late to the party (7am here so up later than usual). Glad you are feeling better now. Big hugs 
I go through phases of sweating/smelling more. No idea what causes it. I always break out into a sweat almost immediately when I start exercising. I can just make a joke of it now but I would still feel embarrassed if someone raised it with me that I smell.
I obviously wasnāt there so donāt know how your boss broached the subjectā¦ But is there a possibility that they/colleagues were trying to be kind in a weird way. Like letting you know in case you didnāt realise? This isnāt something you have to leave over. It is what it is. You are doing your best.
Did you have the panic attack at work after your boss spoke to you? Iām just wondering if they saw or are aware of it.
Fortunately the main purpose of having a job is to get skills and/or money so you donāt have to get on with everyone all the time. But it always helps to have nice people around. Is there anyone there you do get on with?
I also didnāt know you had a job. You are a busy bee arenāt you! What are you doing?
That is such a lovely way of putting it

I mean he was trying to be nice about it, but like still. Oof.
No, it was when I left and went to my car.
Not really. I mean theyāre nice, but I donāt really like any of them. Which is fine. Cause Iām just there to make money and get my mom off my back.
Haha yeah. I work at an ice cream shop.
Old friend is in town. Called him. He is busy he says. Had no time to meet. In a way I understand. All he remembers of me is the drunk drama. He is scared. But it hurts. Friends should understand.

Oof yeah. Thatās really hard to try to show people youāve changed and regain their trust.
On the other hand, thereās honestly a high probability he actually is busy. Cause heās probably in town for a reason, right? And if he let you know, he probably wants to hang with you, but he has a lot to do, you know?
But yeah, Iām really sorry about that. But at least you know youāve changed. And maybe expressing that to him and maybe showing him youāve changed might help. At least it would make sure youāve done all you can to regain his trust, you know?

My doctor said I was too overweight and suggested using MyFitnessPal, a calorie tracking app, or weight watchers, a different version of calorie tracking.
As someone who really struggles with food, this was crazy hard to hear cause if I were to do that, Iād both be struggling not to binge/ eat too much and also struggling not to just stop eating to see the numbers go down. It would be doubly hard. By brain feels like it only works in extremes. It stinks.
Anyways, my therapist, whoās the only one who knows about some of my food stuff, she emailed my mom and was like hey, if you get a nutritionist, make sure they donāt count calories and make sure they focus on intuitive eating.
So hopefully my mom will listen and be willing to listen if I donāt like the person. Cause if I donāt click with them, I wonāt be able to open up and tell them why certain things help or not.

Oof yeah, thatās hard to hear for sure.
I like the sound of going with an intuitive eating approach. Whenever I try to track calories or even macros, I get weird with it too. I want to go to extremes, or if I canāt manage that, I want to just not care and ignore it instead, which makes the whole thing backfire. I stopped trying to make that work. Intuitive eating is an idea I find easier to get behind. Not to mention less work entering calories in from every bit of food you eat, I just get sick of it, for anything more than one ingredient per meal 
I hope it goes well. Update us!

Hey @Kakimime1 howās it going? Hope youāre having some summer fun and not working too hard!
Working in an ice cream shop is a hard place to practice healthy eating 
But if you can resist the urge to eat all the ice cream (I think I would struggle ) then that is a good start.
Ugh tell me about it, I donāt get calorie counters. If you eat all pre-prepared food then I guess itās easier, but thats not so good for you so it kind of defeats the point 
I saw a really good programme called In Defense of Food. I saw it on Netflix but itās a PBS thing so donāt know where that would pop up in the US or Canada. I looked it up to check I had the name right and I see itās a book as well, which I am going to order. Definitely recommend!

Looks interesting, Iāll look into it. Thanks for putting it on my radar!

Yeah, exactly.
I like the idea. And Iām trying to kinda start doing that only own a bit. Itās going ok. Yeah, I get extreme with calorie counting (which is basically what weight watchers is).
Haha yeah. It kinda is easierš

When I looked at the āIn Defense of Foodā book description, I saw a quote that I found to be a satisfying guideline. āEat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.ā 
so simple but so true, and so liberating!
