Way to go! That’s no small feat! You should be proud of your progress.

That is fantastic to hear. Keep loving yourself through the struggle.

Sometimes it just do be like that

It's easier to measure calories as averaged over 3-4 days I find.

No, it’s a bulleted list of damage

- 1 damage
- 1 damage
- 1 damage

Granted, this feeling's unappealing.

No, you forget everything the next day.

Everyone's different. I remember a lot, and so clean up on trivia night.

Even if you aren't the type to remember, you're still learning. The details aren't always as important as the concepts.

I keep a summary. Not always complete, or exact, but the general idea.

Unless it is entirely useless IRL, such as nerd lore. Then i get to keep more info

Possibly. No. Maybe. Yes. I can't control what my brain retains (except in rare circumstances) and consequently it's filled with a lot of useless bullshit that nobody cares about, bits and pieces of everything I ever read.

Had a phase where I read a bunch of Wiki articles about Marvel comics. This caused a few awkward moments where I'd throw in a random comment in a conversation I was overhearing but then wasn't able to follow it up with anything substantial with my comic book expert interlocutors who'd actually read what they were talking about.

My nickname among my friends is derived from the word wikipedia, because I often have read something related to the conversational topic.

Doesn't mean I remember everything, or anything for that matter. Most of the time I just remember that I read about it somewhere, and quickly read up again, barring a handful of topics (that have been hyperfixations in the past).

Ha, I can't even finish writing a comment before forgetting what I was...

Fuck, what was I going to say?

There’s a reason you don’t want to be on someone else’s team if we’re going to play trivia 😈I remember so much stuff, as long as it’s not math, I can’t do math.

only when asked.

Yes, to our cost.

Have you considered making a list /s

(But seriously, I have a sheet I take in to the doctor with my goals for the appointment, things to bring up, and citations if I'm asking something weird. I also list my name, allergies, and who I'm meeting with. I'll have 2 copies, one for me and one for the doctor.)

Soylent saved my butt when I went with Partner to visit the pseudo-in-laws and they swore they could feed me. We told them I was vegetarian. (Technically I'm not but it's complicated and vegetarian is fine).

Dinner was a pile of lettuce with some cherry tomatoes. Everyone else got burgers on buns with cheese, green beans, and baked beans. There was bacon mixed into both the green beans and the baked beans.

Anyways, Soylent came in clutch. We also cut that trip short and haven't visited again.

I wish I could just grab Calorie Mate at Walmart... 😔

the problem is that the emergency food is the low effort food and so i will always eat that first and then i have run out of emergency food

Fellow German here, slice of cheese on bread is the go-to. Microwaved, if I'm feeling spicy.

I do that with cheese, sausage, and crackers. Like a low effort charcuterie board. But I get tired of it pretty frequently, which makes it entirely unappetizing to me. Like I'd rather not eat and just be hungry if that's my only option. So I have to rotate.

Right now my easy meal is canned soup.

Trail mix is emergency food, but it has to be the right kind. Not spicy, I'm overstimulated already, hot peppers would be a screen door on a submarine.
