Ever read that quote?
Once you hit rock bottom, only way you can go is up…
That’s about my weight.
And rock bottom was the day I was born, because it has never gone down ever since.
Diets make me dizzy and workout makes me hulk-like, fat and hard. So I just let myself be. I can’t deny chocolates their fundamental right to be consumed by me few times a days. I’m not a bad person.
Hence, for-ever rising weight.
Walk sort of helps me but I over-did it yesterday and took a longer route. I had to come back home no matter how badly my legs hurt, I knew I will be paying for its today.
Today, I woke up early because I have soooooooooo much to do.
Got out of my bed and almost fell because overnight my knees had turn to jello. I still don’t know how can this walk do such a damage when I have walked way longer than this. Idk.
Also, overnight my whole apartment was covered in mist. There was a layer of moisture on everything.
There was a leakage in ceiling (again. I KNOW!!!)
And because there wasn’t much ventilation it made my whole home moist.
I rushed to air whole home opened the doors and window, switched on ac and fan on full and then came the melt down.
My knees hurt bad and my home was a swamp.
Sam was the unfortunate friend who had to witness my long-awaited meltdown for hours.
I ordered frozen gnocchi to maybe feel a little better and that turned out to be one of the biggest regrets of my life!
Those little pieces of play dough… actually play dough still have some taste. These gnocchi didn’t even have that. Every passing second was pushing me to the edge of insanity.
In the evening, after dealing with maintenance and airing the whole place I went on to test my luck one more time and started cooking smashed potatoes.
I know. I’m a psycho.
And those turnout amazing!
The smell of freshly chopped garlic and parsley and crushed peppers…
After having a horrible day, once again potatoes saved the day.
Saved some for Sam. She needs to be rewarded for tolerating me and I can’t afford a medal right now.
Closing the day with writing this post, while ghostbusters (Melissa Mccarthy one) is playing on the side.
And I have The Fall by Albert Camus with me, next to a celery stick.
My system is starved of books and it needs urgent intervention.
Hope you all are having a nice day. If not, tomorrow will be better. Trust me! Just eat something you like. 🙂

The potatoes look heavenly. I had to turn the corner after seeing my doctor. She had the nerve to tell me I eat too much junk. LOL. So here we go.. oatmeal, salad, and oranges for the day so far.
Im good. Just can’t scour a cake when I feel like it. Me (donna). HI to Sam.

Magnesium, every day to relieve the muscle pain and for a balanced sleep. Dark chocolate 90%, it takes a while to get used to it. We all know diets do not work! I guess nurturing “soul food” is the only solution.

i think my supplement has it, maybe i need more of it, i will ask my doctor next visit.
i usually eat 70% -85% dark. surprisingly i don’t think i have tried 90% yet. that goes on the list too.
yea diet actually put you in reverse once you quit and you cant be on one forever.
nurturing soul is the best thing we can do to ourself.

its very sad Gnocchi

Potatoes make me very happy. I’m currently eating boiled new potatoes with butter, salt, pepper, and parmesan as dinner quite often. Delicious. I also love a good baked potato. And gnocchi never made anyone feel good: you’re right, play-doh would be better. I hope things look up soon. It’s so odd how troubled times come in waves. 💖
