Highlights from this day

comment_fatigue — somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day, ask me again in a month 23:20
drawup_dee — slightly off topic but the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards 23:33
factory_direct_fi — i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is what made it go well 23:58

thats grief honestly

i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number

hold on if you can

same at week 5

i came back at month 25 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected

nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it

thinking of you

slightly off topic but the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards

i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down

the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment

i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is what made it go well
