Ok so I did it. I made a grief therapy appointment this coming Monday, which only gives me tomorrow to NOT chicken out. I don't know why this is so anxiety-provoking for me. I also completely binged after doing it (pizza, tater tots). Also a first in a long time. If I didn't make the appointment tho...

I'm curious as to whether I should seek counseling. It almost seems wrong that I'm not. But I hate paying someone to listen to me grieve. What to do, I think I've had probably the worst experience a person could face but I'm blank as to what to say to someone who's charging 150 bucks an hour. Grante...

Thank you for the prayers and hugs. He did great. It was very hard watching him go through it, but in a way it helped tamp down my grief over my daughter a bit.

Time to start my summer check-in and re-listen to podcasts. My weight is still going up, so I am at a spot that I'm going to count calories along with No S. I have never ever weighed this much (except when around 6 months pregnant). I obviously need far fewer calories after menopause and no more bab...

Very ladylike S day. I even had a very small sampling of ice cream. I really think I'm losing the obsession for it, it still didn't taste that great!

Had Mario's pizza for dinner. We haven't had it for a while and it was SOOOOO fantastic. Could've eaten more but didn't :)
