I've been going to the gym a lot lately, trying to lose weight and be more active, feel better about myself. I've lost almost 10 lbs which is huge with my binge-eating disorder, which I control by counting calories (this doesn't work for everyone, but it works for me).

That and I'm in the process of getting my professional designation, all the hard stuff is done and now it's just forms!

    Hell yeah! Losing 10 pounds is HARD even without BED. I'm struggling with motivation to lose weight lately–working out and feeling healthier, but not managing my own binge behavior which is impossible to out-exercise. I'm really impressed and proud of you!

    Thanks so much! Always struggling with the want to be more active and lose weight while also reconciling that with internalized fatphobia and recognizing that I'm not losing weight for society, and that my health does not determine my value.

    I do a lot more small talk and generally be nicer to strangers overall. My sense of humor is pretty developed from reading a lot and in combination with my quick witt, finding something that lightens the mood is usually easy.

    Works wonders for my self esteem too!

    It's lovely to connect with strangers, isn't it? :)

    As an introvert I love connecting with strangers! Give someone a compliment or just smile and say good morning, and then... there's no expectations! When I'm feeling socially exhausted it can be hard to force myself to still have a human interaction or two, so saying a few sentences to a stranger is a low-stakes way to make sure I don't ask of the sudden find myself not having uttered a word in days.

    I actually started winning the occasional match in Guilty Gear Strive. Not usually very good at competitive video games, so it was a pleasant surprise!
