Holy shit. So, I've talked about this before. But goddamn... in about 6 months time, I'm a good 60 pounds lighter. I don't think I ever actually believed I was capable of losing that much weight. I always figured I'd die weighing over 300 pounds. One hell of a milestone, don't you think? Of course I intend to continue. Why stop here? Right?

And yeah,...

Okay, trying to keep this polite. It seems the... individual in charge of the writing challenge I mentioned before has silently extended the voting and added me to the choices. They didn't tell anybody, it just kind of happened. Thank you @badabigail for letting me know. You've seriously been so great about this situation.

*cough* That being said... I'd really appreciate it if anyone who...

@johnnydiscard Right? Still, I'm grateful for the support you guys gave me.

@badabigail I appreciate that so much. I'm definitely a fan of yours after this.

So, I guess I pissed someone off or something. I don't know. It just feels like this site hates me. I've tried participating in different community events. It never goes well. But this time, write a scary story. Hey, I can do that. Submit before the deadline, within the word limit, check. Voting started Friday. I click the link to see what's up, annnnd... I'm...

I am very sad about this. Even more to see that our appointments were not even answered.If it was a mistake, they should at least report something.Sorry about that. I can imagine how sad you must be. If I can do anything to alleviate this, please let me know.
wolfwood1203:
@badabigail Thanks, that's very sweet of you, and I appreciate it a lot.

I was tagged by @libris for this little bit of Halloween fun.

Sweet or sour: Definitely sour, but I didn’t mind sweet. (I can’t really eat these sorts of snacks anymore)

Trick or Treat: We talking giving, or receiving? I’d rather give treats, but I’m okay with receiving tricks.

Witches or Vampires: I’ve actually been curious about learning about witchcraft and that sort of thing,...

So, I realize that most people say that you need to allow yourself a cheat day every so often when trying to lose weight. I did this yesterday because we were all sitting around talking last night, and they wanted snacks. I gave in to my weakness and had some too. I know that people say this is okay, maybe even good to do from...

So, for the last couple of days, maybe a week or so, I've been feeling odd. I've been disproportionately angry... upset? I don't know the exact feeling, but it's directed towards my brother. He hasn't done anything too bad to warrant any kind of anger or whatever. But I've been feeling it pretty strongly. The last couple of days, yesterday and today, I was talking...

I hope your brother doesn't get back with the kids' mother, from what you've said in the past she's just not good for him or his mental health.  I think many people are sympathetic/empathetic to other's feelings, that's healthy!  And I'm so proud of you for losing that weight, that's a major accomplishment!
wolfwood1203:
@libris It's just, they're not my feelings that I'm feeling, if that makes any kind of sense. I understand being sympathetic and empathetic when talking to someone, or learning about someone's situation. But I was feeling this before I knew. And the depth that I experience it is just... I don't know.

Been feeling pretty down lately. I know, big surprise. Went into the weekend feeling like crap. I'm letting things get to me that I shouldn't be. Again.

But then I got an unexpected call. Who's on the line? My best friend, telling me that he's in town for the weekend and wants to hang out. Known him for around 15 years now. He's family, really....

This is a great photo! Catching up with friends is so cathartic.

@libris Yeah, it was nice. We got devoured by mosquitoes, but it was worth it.

Okay, first I lost sweets because anxiety and trying to get healthier. Sad, but manageable.

Then, I lost nicotine, because I can't afford anymore vape. Which sucks... a lot. I enjoyed my vaping, it was a nice vice. But again, I'm okay without it.

But yesterday... fucking yesterday... my goddamn coffee maker stopped working. Now the universe is trying to take my caffeine and coffee...

Has it really only been five months? I started trying to improve my health because I was finally starting to feel the weight effecting me on a day to day level. I was somewhere around 290 pounds (probably higher), so it was definitely well past time to get off my ass and do something about it.

It was going fairly well until this last month....

wolfwood1203:
@sa12758 Ah. That's the kind of thing I was hoping to avoid. I felt like I was on the verge of requiring surgery to improve my health, so I decided it was time to do something before that happened.

So... I freaking love this game. When I first heard about it, I knew I was going to want to play. But, I'm broke as hell, so I didn't expect to be able to play it. Thankfully, my brother surprised me by getting it for me.

And, it's everything I hoped for and more. The fact that there's a dedicated meow button is amazing. They...

@makami I mean, if you have the system for it, I say go for it.

@lioncourt I think it's worth it, especially if you like cats.
