Right?! I mean the nerve of all those kids dying and those animals being abused. They keep interrupting my important shows! /s

So tired of the tv commercials for St.Judes and the animal rescues. Everybody wants your money!!

I wrote the post about my sister in law. I said she is wildly successful professionally, and my brother (her husband) does very well too. In other words, they have money. They could easily afford whatever professional help she would want or need, be it programs, surgery, medication, whatever. I wish she would get help, but I think she is kind of in denial.

I heard a quote a while back that said something like "Do you ever notice you don't see any morbidly obese eldery people? Because morbidly obese people don't live to be elderly". I'm sure there are some out there though.

My sister in law is one of my favorite people. I absolutely adore her. She has always had a bit of a weight problem, but no big deal (I have too). But over the past 10 years, it has gotten much, much worse. I just saw her last weekend, and she is easily over 400 pounds right now. She is wildly successful professionally and still works, manages kids, etc, but you can tell she's really struggling. She's losing mobility. We also both turned 50 this year and not getting any younger. I would never say anything, because it's not like she doesn't already know. And nothing I say will do anything other than make her feel worse. But I am so, so worried about her. I don't want to lose her, but I really don't think she'll be around in 10 years if something doesn't change. It makes me sad.

I posted 5yrs ago about losing 35lbs & made it to 245lbs but worried about face sagging. 2yrs later I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic with 10.4 A1C. I was put on ozempic, got to 6.2 A1C. After much research, I had VSG surgery 2yrs ago. It reversed my diabetes, NO MEDS!!!, 5.3 A1C, weigh 165lbs now. My face isn't saggy, but my neck is. So is my body, ick. I got approved for plastic surgery. Hoping to have it done before the end of the year but it's going to cost a lot.

After a month of dead silence about any potential roommate. Last week, landlord texted to ask me to meet with a new this past weekend. Oh and she didn't tell me that she already showed her the room the weekend prior. Meeting went fine, but now I'm getting a new roommate this week. Does she even know about the insects we've been getting since January?! I bet she doesn't, but landlord wanted to collect rent. Just laughing so I don't cry about this sh*t show.

I’ve spent 30 years convinced my mother was the problem. Of course she “did her best”. But it wasn’t enough. I wasn’t enough. I know she waited 10 years for me. I know that. But she kept me locked up. I wasn’t allowed to do anything, ever. And then she just let me out at 17 and expected me to function like a whole adult. So of course I fucked up and got pregnant and made really poor decisions. But maybe I’ve been the problem all along. Maybe I was too stubborn. Maybe I should have just let her control me. Why did I have to make it so hard for her to win? I hate hurting people. I would give my whole self to not allow anyone to hurt. But I’ve hurt her anyway because I finally chose me over her. And I can’t stop feeling guilty and like it’s my fault. I should have just powered through and waited it out.

Intake went super well! Property manager was amazing to speak with and said my chances are good because there are still affordable units left! I have to wait 1-3 weeks for income and employment verifications to process then will hopefully be getting the call. One step closer to get my dream apt!! Please let this happen. Will cry happy tears!

Thanks all for your "faves" and "hugs" below. I have an intake interview for a new apartment building this weekend. Please, please let everything go well! I have to move out. We've had bugs here since January and she's hardly doing anything about it. Disgusting!
