During a dark time in my life, I started wearing hoodies ... as security blankets under which I hid myself and a lot of pain. As I work through the pain, come out of hiding, and pack away the hoodies, this is the holding place for the memories and a reminder to embrace life.
Shrink
I have lost 15 pounds in 4 weeks. I don't feel like eating. When I do eat I usually throw up. I've figured out I can safely eat scrambled eggs, hummus and carrot sticks, and mostly any other vegetables, so long as they are raw or cooked in water, not oil. I can't eat dairy. I don't like any starches. I've sworn off caffeine, sugar, and alcohol so that I stop relying on them for placebo. So I eat soft foods ... and not much of them. And I walk. So I shrink.
