I ask myself that almost daily. What good does it do to know how I feel on the inside if no one can see it on the outside? What if nobody cares enough to even ask? Well, one, I don't have a clue why I am here, or what my real purpose is. All I know is that I am here, and as such, I just keep going until the day I don't.
It's not my place to point out anything about anyone else. I get that. I still do. I am human. I still express when something hurts me, no matter what happens when I choose to open up about it. I can't control what anyone else does. I can't fix anyone but me. I can't take away anyone else's pain. I can't make anyone else happy. All I can do is work on me, and find what makes me happy, and what makes me feel worthwhile.
I have all manner of flaws that I'll never tell you about because it's not in my nature. I won't tell you about anyone else's flaws either. All I talk about here is me, as conceited as that may be. I will tell you how I handle something without telling you what I'm handling. I'm not in the Misery Loves Company business anymore. I just want to be happy. Only one person can make me happy - me.
That being said, life is pretty good. We have a roof. We have food. We have clothing. We have heat and air conditioning. We have running water. We have good jobs. We have money. We have entertainment, and access to most of what makes the world go round. You most likely will never hear me complain about anything material because I have zero about which to bellyache.
Everything else will work itself out.
Have a good week. As always, thanks for stopping by. xo
Day 14 Progress
Weight: 207.6
What I ate:
What I ate:
- The morning coffee (about 2/3 of it)
- The rest of that Zero Sugar Cherry Coke from Saturday
- Buffalo chicken stuff - still no picture. I'll get one eventually
- A few Sea Salt + Pepper pork rinds, and a smidge of chip dip. I was hungry, I just wasn't in the mood for those
This is NOT a regular item on my menu. The flavor basically sucks, and the use of erythritol just upsets my innards. In order to avoid buying a bag of Dot's Southwest pretzels, and a Gatorade Peanut Butter-Chocolate bar, I got this, and a cheese stick. You've gotta do what you've gotta do on your way to doing better.
- The Afternoon Coffee
- One of the best pork chops my husband hath ever made with some, clearly, melted butter
- My version, seriously modified, of Serious Keto's Perfected TikTok Pickle Chips I had five. I could have easily et all of them, given no self control on my part.
The reason mine are seriously modified is because I have discovered that I no longer own a muffin tin. I did, however, have a MINI-muffin tin, so I worked with that. I also discovered that a Magic Bullet blender does NOT chop a combo of shredded cheese and Pork Panko as well as pulsing in a food processer would have. It creates a clumpy, less-than-dry concoction. :/ I also used V&V Supremo Shredded Chihuahua Quesadilla Cheese instead of cheddar, and had to use half slices because whole pickle chips would not have fit. I think the chips require the larger space that a normal muffin tin provides. I started off at the suggested 350F, and baked for 14 minutes, and they were still a lot soupy/sloppy looking, so I added another five minutes on. They still weren't golden brown yet, so I bumped up the temperature to 375F, and let them go another 10 minutes. The result, above, was mostly crunchy, and mostly delightful batch of 12 pickle chips. Once I get a proper muffin tin, we will see how absolutely divine those turn out!
