All I have to say about my current mood is it better be goddamn hormonal because I CANNOT feel like this for the next six weeks.
No hard feelings to everyone who loves this time of year, but dear god. It already feels endless and it's not even actually Thanksgiving until the day after tomorrow.

I feel like the theme of the last month's food choices has been "not nearly as good as it looks; won't buy it again, but will probably finish the package."

Dinner: 3 veggies, 1 fruit, pita bread, hamburger for my protein. Under the broiler is so the way to go for burgers!
Not sure how I feel about the radishes, may not make them again, but I’ll eat them.

This might be the most successful low-carb sweet I've made so far. Subbed both instances of sugar with Truvia Brown. I didn't toast the almond flour, but I did brown the butter and sub half the vanilla extract for almond.

Heavy housework day (it's well overdue).
Part of that was getting behind and under the couches in the living room. One of them I feared was on its way out - there was a suspicious deep indent on one side and I figured it probably wasn't anything that was repairable.
Still, I got it flipped […]

So, I am doing my best to eat better using mostly real food stuff, but also? I am not above shortcuts. I, in fact, love a short cut.
I haven't had a "meal replacement shake" in years because they used to be awful. I don't know if they're overall less awful than they used to be, but I ordered […]

[It's going to be a whiny Wednesday]
Yesterday was hard, but I don't think I realized it most of the day, so I haven't even really started processing it.
Nothing catastrophic happened, but the day started with a mix-up on my therapy appointment which had me scrambling. From that point on? […]

Trying to work around what seem to be irrational food aversions - especially when trying to eat in a way I'm not used to - is a constant challenge.
But the thing that probably feels weirdest to me, are the things I don't particularly like, but *can* make myself eat if I don't try to overdo it […]

So far today - therapy, grocery delivery, stopped at Mom's for a bit, put money in the bank, got my chicken into the crockpot (way late, but it's in there), checked the oil & got my order in so that's heat settled for about a month anyway.

Almost seven months in, and today is the first time I’m actually admitting to myself that I just cannot make this work.
