Congrats on such awesome progress! I broke into the 160s this week, some I never thought I would see the scale say again. Keeping it off is definitely going to be the hardest part. Do you have any other things you plan on doing to help you maintain?

Seattle!

Can you have a one on one with the union rep? The idea that “she just wants to be your friend” and the rep is eating it up is fucking insane. You can’t force people to be friends. I would request that she document cases of actual rudeness, not you just being polite but disinterested, or ways you are actively halting…

Do you like memoirs? My most recent Goodreads that are nonfiction are all self help and memoirs and thus far, none of the self help books have been very good, with the exception of The Dance of Anger (which was recommended to me here by Oldwomanyellsatclods!)

16/10, good rug hug Bruce!

Obviously in the song, Taylor is rejoicing in escaping the tyranny of HOAs.

There's so much wine shit in general right now, it makes me vaguely concerned. Lol, alcoholism! #cute #itme

It’s so hard to find Valentine’s Day shirts for boys that don’t have some vaguely sexual message, but when I saw the ones that said “Playground Casanova”, I was ready to call the fucking police.

those names are so accurate, it's painful. 

Yeah, when I was a child, our zoo had a display of blind cave fish that more or less said just that.
