What would help you now, sj?

Is there anything we can say?

Yeah, I'm pretty much done with dieting. I'm working on improving my internal flora, and ordered some kefir grains this week. But that's basically drinking yummy yogurt like drinks and making sure the good germs have some fruit or veg to munch on. It's not removing anything from my menu. So far my energy's up. It would be nice if the weight went down, but it's not like the last 30+ years of dieting got me there, so if this doesn't no big deal.

I'm sorry the session didn't end at a good place, sj.

I love the idea of treating gut flora like well-loved pets.

The 'cleanse' I'm doing includes probiotics which I should _always_ take but I haven't been good with 'always' doing anything.

I find myself thinking of the gut collective as Kaylee. They live to eat yummy food and pursue reproductive activities. And they help keep their vessel running, given the right materials.

OMG I LOVE THIS.

Bonny, thanks. I'm ok now. I stopped crying, and I'm at a restaurant, getting lunch. She didn't have an appointment after me fwiw, but most therapists I have been to are very strict about ending the session on time, regardless of what is happening. There is a movie theater next to the restaurant I'm in. I'm tempted to see Iron Man 3, but I would rather see it with TCG. I should look to see if there is anything playing that TCG wouldn't want to see.

GENIUS.

That was actually going to be my next suggestion, sj. Finding something to distract you that isn't jarring or upsetting.

A nice, calm movie would be good. Save Ironman for TCG and a time when your system isn't jangled.

I love food. I love to eat. I love to cook when I have time. Two things. I learned from dieting 1) I need less food than I think I do. 2) ungood food means I eat more - taste matters that much, so. As little over processed food as possible

I can't diet - restrictions make me cranky. However, the more often I eat the less likely I am to overeat.

I don't hate exercise, just hate being a hamster. If there is a point, I can do it. So. The garden and walking around my town is where I get most of my exercise . The squat challenge is just because , I blame my sister she started it. It is interesting. It gets my blood moving in the morning ( not that I think anyone should do it, but it doesn't hurt your knees if you do them correctly
