Wow I'm really cold right now and I can't seem to warm up. Maybe I'll start up my old laptop with a resting temp of  120C and set it on my feet. That thing throws off heat like crazy. It would just be good to stop shivering. I think I'll go make some coffee or something.

So Im on a diet... Is vodka low calorie its been a long day. 

Hmm, if they made low calorie alcohol of any variety, they  would have a gold mine.

Two bottles a night, and my weight's just right.

I kid, that would be way too much vodka (It'll happen one day) but I can honestly say I have never gained weight whilst drinking vodka. And I mean, I can eat half a house one night, but as long as I also get drunk off my skull, I'll wake up having maintained or even lost weight in the morning, no vomitting involved!

Ed Sheeran also made note of the fact that when he was losing weight, he just stopped drinking beer and picked up the vodka!

The only complex carbohydrate in vodka is the alcohol and yes, the alcohol counts. About 100 calories per shot according to the program I used to use for recording. A single beer is much worse.

Once again I almost wrote "a single bear", but that's way too many calories, fatty meat, you know.

Well then, knowing it's complex carbs makes me understand why I would not gain weight, being that I am 90% of the time living on a ketogenic-like diet.

I wonder if consuming a single bear would have the same affect..?

I could never be vegan. Vegetarian might be possible but never vegan.

Im getting better at eating veggies on my diet but could never go veggie all the the time, I really enjoy meat.  On that note though vodka would be in a vegan diet...made of potatoes right....

I'm fairly sure it's made of grains usually these days, but yeah some vodka is made of potatoes.

I should  really pay more attention to make sure I'm getting the potato vodka..

If it isn't potato vodka I don't waste my time. There are a lot of good ones and they're not all that expensive.

Our local shop sells 2 750mL bottles of crappy tasting vodka for $18, so I literally buy four and they're gone in two or three days.

I'm just thinking though like I've got celiac disease maybe I should pay attention to what alcohol I'm drinking hmm..

Why do I fiend for refried beans every time I go on my progesterone cycle?

I signed up for OKCupid on Valentines day out of curiosity.

I've talked to a few people, mostly guys.

Now I have self proclaimed straight GGs checking out my profile, why?

Should I just go outside in what I'm wearing, flats and a maxi dress, to get my bike wheel to fix from the basement? Yesterday when I covered up to do the same thing I felt lousy. When I went out wearing my headband and cozy sweater, first time with no men's clothing, I felt pretty good... The only people I might encounter on my way are two gay men and an old lady who is very sweet and extremely liberal...

I'm at this wonderfully wierd crossroad where the only men's clothing I wear out is my old jacket and even that is starting to feel stranger than normal. I'm nowhere near passing but I am so unhappy in men's clothes...

I'm eating lunch at the airport while waiting for my flight ...  Boston here I come!

Anna,
Lord knows they dont feed you on flights anymore, not that it was good food. Enjoy your flight and time in Boston.

I'm thinking that I am very grateful for my counselor. I don't think she realizes how much she has helped me, especially lately. These last two weeks have been really difficult for me, and I was on the verge of returning to some self-destructive behaviour again. I was really scared of my emotions. But she helped me turn it into something productive rather than destructive. I figured out some of what was leading me to spiral. I talked to my boss about something that was bothering me, and we had a good discussion and we have a plan moving forward. I opened up to my professors about the struggles I was having with school, and they were all extremely supportive and we are working on a plan to get me through the material. I also found two very positive and effective coping mechanisms, that have helped me manage when my emotions are in a really bad place.

And in sorting out those things, I managed to get a lot of smaller things back on track without realizing it. I have to follow a diet plan before surgery as per my doctor, and I actually managed to get it up and running and I am doing very well with it. I got my taxes and doctor's stuff sorted out so I don't have to worry about money now.

This is entirely, 100% unheard of for me. Normally, when something bad happens, and I can't control my feelings, I make things worse. In the past, I'd have either quit or sabotaged my job, I'd have sabotaged my schooling and academic relationships, and rather than using positive coping to help I'd have done things that I know are upsetting and hurtful to myself. And I certainly wouldn't have gotten my taxes done or stayed on track with my surgery requirements. I have NEVER turned such a negative time into such a positive. Before it seemed like it was only a dream, you know? A fantasy world. But this time it actually happened.

Thinking I need Caleb's therapist.

i want some food.

The flight attendant gave me a small bag of mini-pretzels and spilled a bit of ginger ale on my book.  Fortunately, I was able to wipe up the spill fairly quickly.
