Weight 192.8. Up.
The auction guy was disheartening, but gave us good information. He said the height of the antique market was when my parents built their house and values have dropped 80% or more. At least it gives us some ammunition as the realtor said the buyer is hoping to wait until the last minute to negotiate the furniture hoping we'll be desperate to get rid of it. The auction guy will come and take it all if we want, so at least we have some leverage. Another one is coming on Wednesday.
Nothing planned for today. Valentines is right up there with New Years as my least favorite holidays. Couple's holidays for the relentlessly single are the pits!
DD, this really sang to me: "I think the issue isn't even current weight for a lot of us, I've seen the photos and you all are lovely. I think it's that panicky, I've been here before feeling, why don't I have control over this feeling. Why am I driven to eat more food now? Why do I gain so easily? Why is losing so hard?" I don't like the extra weight, but I'm still in a healthy place if not my preferred aesthetic. And it's my loss of control that scares me the most.
BB, I absolutely feel the fear that things won't go back to normal fast enough. But it feels like some have moved the goalposts for returning to normal from "control" to "eradication". And eradication is highly unlikely. So knowing we have never and will never live in a disease free world, we have to figure out how to live with all diseases in a way that focuses on the "live" part and not the fear. It's part of being a human. Maybe that's masks longer than I'd like. Or social distance. Or maybe the vaccines will get us there. But it can't be eliminating all gatherings and fun forever. That's not how humans are wired.
Hope you all have great days!
When Ron's mom passed, he and his siblings got the same news from the auction houses. Some of what she had was worth quite a lot 40 years ago, and of little value today. It was disheartening for Ron's sisters. But that is why they ended going with an estate sale instead of the auction house - except for a few select pieces.
Good Morning All, Popping in as I didnt make it here yesterday. Movitation isnt wonderful this morning as I start what will likely be my second last week with my current company. Lots of anxiety and dread as I dont want to travel for this next role but feel totally trapped. There is talk of the lockdown being extended which would in turn make the job market even more fierce as many more people will loose their jobs. Praying that I get interviews for the roles I have applied for.
Weight - I didnt weigh today. I am feeling like I am completely out of control with my eating. Reading everyones thoughts its kinda nice to know many of you have similar head space battles. I hate the way my clothes are starting to feel - but its all down to me and what I continue to put into my mouth....... Will I ever learn !
I continue to have dizzy spells - yesterday was 3 so I have made an apt with my GP for tommorrow afternoon. I think it will need to get investigated as its really starting to effect me. Praying it isnt menieres - everything crossed.
Not a lot else to report. Happy Valentines Day to you all :) It was so lovely to see your special surprise Peps :) That would have made your morning
I had best go find my motivation and get this butt into gear
Enjoy your evening everyone
