Breakfast looks like for me today...

This is what breakfast for me looks like today. While I used to enjoy opening up a can of Coke and grabbing a Little Debbie Snack Cake when I was fifteen years old, today I am choosing to fill my body with some FUEL! I had a slice of watermelon *wish I would have got more*, some chunks of cauliflower, some lettuce leaves. On the right is a green smoothie with just handfuls of kale and spinach and a few frozen strawberries with one cup of orange juice. To the left is Yogi brand Chamomile Lavender Stress Relief tea.

The cauliflower was a little hard to eat--since I didn't cook it, it had that very robust flavor, and since Ranch dressing or melted cheese was not an option, I had to eat it just by itself. After all, I am trying to eat as raw as possible!

I am very happy about my new lifestyle. I hope I can continue it for the rest of my life. I already have lost about 7 lbs and most of my facial fat since starting it at the beginning of this month. Wonder what it will be like in a year!!!!

  As I reflect and look back on the last couple of years of my life, I feel nothing but pain and brief moments of nostalgia longing to have the small joys I used to experience back then. I am grieved to look back and then at who I am today and realize how far I have fallen from who I used to be. The happy, full of life version of me.

I started praying to God asking Him to send me someone I could connect with because I felt so lonely. Not just lonely, but a deep ache inside I can only describe as a vacuum of sorts. I had legit frost-bite like pains in the upper left quadrant of my chest. It felt like something was terribly missing. I actually found out in emotional pain mapping that area represents longing for a male figure. I would cry out to God for a friend who I could feel connected to. I was faced with the fact that

  Even broken crayons still color too. I let myself sleep in again today. I got up around 10am and fed my cat Teddy and made two cups of coffee and tea and microwaved some oatmeal. I had a cup of Chobani Greek strawberry and banana yogurt to go with the oatmeal. I went for a quick walk and got ready for work.  Work was more busy than yesterday. It is my 2nd day as chat operator and there were a lot of customers who needed help. I had like 4 chats open at one time and started feeling frazzled because I have to code each customer interaction and I kept losing my place because new chats kept coming in. It made the day go by quicker though! My IBS was acting up today. I had to keep running to the restroom. I am thinking it is from stress. I went on a walk at lunch time and that was nice. I have really been enjoying the changing weather. It feels so nice outside. I am not used to not sweating my guts out when I stand under the sun. 🤣  I sent an email to my former boss at my previous job. I
