I’ve been really MIA on this site lately, nothing to blame but myself. Been feeling down and definitely turning to food more than I should. Trying to keep it in check, but it’s been hard. I never saw myself as an emotional eater but I’m beginning to see that I am.
A lot of different things have been getting me down, but I did have a wonderful day on Saturday! One of my best friends and former roommate from college got married and it was a great time. I bawled like a baby when she walked down the aisle… when they said their vows… during the first dance… yes, it was ridiculous, haha. A lot of my college friends have moved all over the US since college (we graduated 4 years ago), but many of them came back for the wedding so it was nice to catch up. Kinda bittersweet though. It was great seeing everyone but then they were here for the day and gone again. Huge high and low of emotion as a result. Saturday was amazing and then Sunday I was sad everyone left (and hungover, haha).
Sunday also started me worrying about my cat. She’s 18, and for the past couple years had hyperthyroidism which is very common in older cats. She’s been on medication, but over time lost quite a bit of weight but was holding steady for a while. This weekend she suddenly stopped eating and is making me very nervous. Looking very skinny and not a lot of energy, and the few times she’s eaten she’s spit up the food a while later. Got an appointment at the vet tonight to see what’s wrong. Hoping it’s just the thyroid, but in the past when we needed to up her medication she was acting ravenous and eating crazily, the exact opposite of now. I’ve had her since she was a kitten, she was a Christmas present when I was 8. We grew up together, definitely not ready for her to go yet. Didn’t sleep much last night as a result of worrying about her.
Lots of rambling today, figured I would make up for not recording much lately. Really going to try to get back on track with the eating. Been good about getting running time in, just need to eat better. Much better.
