    Gratitude thread. I’m grateful to have a roof over my head, and glad it’s still attached.

    Grateful for the SES and all of the various emergency workers.

    And grateful for fluffy cats.

      I’m grateful that the doggo who randomly ‘attacked’ me yesterday on the way back from the shops had no idea what it was doing. Out of no where just launched itself at my bum. Mum and daughter walking it off leash on a main road (big no no) about 30m behind me and it just went for me (poorly). Daughter ran up to ‘stop’ doggo which was nice of her. Mother was yelling ‘thank you, thank you!’ but I’m not sure if that was directed at the dog, the daughter or me.

      Then neighbours’ doggo ran up for a pat as I was just getting home. No issues with that one. Good doggo.

      I’m grateful nothing fell on us or blew away, and hope this continues.

      I’m grateful for the electric blanket and the power staying on.

      I’m grateful for Melbcat herself. We’re going through a rough patch with her health but she’s what keeps me going.

      I’m grateful that my no more late night snacking has resulted in a 500g weight loss. I’ve done nothing else differently.

        Very impressive! And nice work for sticking to it. I’m doing ok, mainly because I have to take a tablet in the evening on an empty stomach. Otherwise, I don’t know if my willpower would hold out, lol

        I will also forgo store bought roti and parathas and only eat healthy home made fat free ones if i have them at all

        I was doing ok until I recently said I was, then I jinxed it 😔 Glad you’ve got some results though, well done!

          Thank you.

          I was mindlessly snacking when I wasn’t hungry so I decided I wasn’t gonna eat after 8pm.

          Jump back on the train with me. Eat tea, have dessert if need be and then stop after 8pm. That’s all. Baby steps.

            Eating when you’re not hungry does me in, but the reason is that my biggest problem is also eating to avoid food being wasted. I think, “look that’ll get thrown out, can’t waste it,” and I’ll eat it when I’m not hungry, especially things that aren’t freezable or good for lunch the next day. I’ll have to maybe start making smaller portions.
