I just got back from an appointment with my therapist. I talked more than I usually do. I talked about how I want to know myself as more than just a singer. If someone asked me about myself, I would probably tell them that I'm a singer, I love Harry Potter, and I have a pug that's like my own son. I feel like that's all I know about myself.

sometimes it's okay to let yourself have something you don't NEED to eat, but yes, the weight watchers system is good for that. Food addiction is something i also suffer from, to a certain extent. I have learned over time when to say "i'm too full" and stop eating. i still have MAJOR problems with wasting food - this was something ingrained in us as children - the "there are starving children in china" mentality, so i try to cut things in half, intentionally save something for leftovers, etc. I also try not to keep processed sugar products in the house because i WILL eat them, then get addicted to them

Yeah, I did mean to post it publicly. Were you asking because it ended so abruptly? Often when I'm thinking about heavy subject matter like this, I come to a point where I just have to stop. I didn't have anything else to say, and I didn't feel like taking the time to wrap it up in a neat little package.

And I meant that I want to know more about myself. I'm fine with the things that I am. Singer, Padfoot's mama, I feel like I should add to the list, but honestly, those are the only really important things. I suppose I could say student or barista, but neither of those things feel very important to me. I just want to know more about myself aside from what I do. Crystal suggested that I start with making a list of things I like, and a list of things that bother me. I'm about to do that.
