Anti-gratitude thread >:(
Friend from uni cancelled on me and the reason was because something minor came up apparently. Didn't say what. Last time we were meant to catch up, they hadn't even left the house and were half an hour away at the time we were supposed to meet, so I told them we can reschedule. I have cancelled on them last minute before as well, but this is not the only time they've done it. Time to find alternative social arrangements for this week, because I will go insane without seeing people.
I think the weight I've gained, in an attempt to gain muscle, is just belly fat
I understand about the weight thing. For me, it generally works out to about 50/50 muscle and fat. Just wish getting musclier didn't have to involve getting a belly.
I hate that I'm not a morning person at all and it's cold today. I felt it outside and now I'm going to defrost.
you need a solid foundation for a strong building, keep at it.
Every time I sneeze it hurts.
My knees ache in all positions
Sun glare hitting my eyes at my desk
Strained a muscle yesterday. I am now walking like John Wayne, without the swagger
are you north facing as well?
Yep. The glare is gone, but the grumpiness remains
I'm coming back for round 2.
My shoulders are a little sore and I'm starting to get a headache now which I hope doesn't turn into a migraine.
I hate dropping my kids off at childcare. They cry when I leave and I feel like I'm turning my back on them. I want to have them at home but I can't give them the attention they need and work at the same time.
I hate this performance meeting I have coming up. The way it makes me feel and it's such a big deal over something so small. No one has been hurt and the business hasn't even lost money. There are things I could do better but everything feels so insignificant in comparison.
It really bugs me how I never see my MIL in the morning when we're getting the kids ready. We live in the same house and she knows the schedule, why do I never see her when we're trying to wrangle two kids out the door before work?
My team getting the scraps at work.
My hearing still being fucked.
Ungrateful for my body clock waking me up at 3am and not getting back to sleep.
I am ungrateful for my heater and TV remotes being on adjacent IR channels. Not near enough to mess with the settings, just cause incessant beeping while looking for something to watch.
I've gained about 10kg, after all the work and exercise I did, and have a fat belly now and I'm depressed about it. Why are cakes so nice? Why is tiramisu so damn tasty? I seem to have to exercise like a maniac in order to indulge in a miserly stingy little bit of cheesecake, which makes me even more depressed, it's barely fucking worth it! So I'm watching my food intake, avoiding high fat and high sugar foods and I'm fucking miserable.
Instead of avoiding foods that make you happy, why don't you try adding foods into your diet instead? I think it's called nutrition by addition.
Also I feel you.
I eat all the right stuff already, and I'm reasonably active and my job is physical. I'm just a middle aged menopausal person with fat person genes who has a tendency to comfort eating lol.
