New favorite meal. Cream cheese stuffed bacon wrapped peppers. You can use any peppers you like. Literally any will work. I used: One Green Bell Pepper 2oz Cream Cheese One Minced Garlic Clove A Bunch of Bacon Salt and Pepper Mix together salt and pepper and cream cheese and garlic. Cut the pepper into quarters (jalapenos I cut in half), remove the seeds and white veins. Smear the cream cheese mixture into the pepper quarters and wrap in bacon. Bake at 425 till the bacon is crispy and wonderful. Barely any carbs.

Late-night snack. If you live on the West Coast (or it might be a Pacific Northwest thing), go to Costco and get yourself a tub of Chef Shamy’s Butter. They come in a bunch of different varieties but this one is my favorite.

I stopped at Wal-mart after Hot Yoga to pick up a couple of things. I was STARVING (grocery store and starving is a bad combo!) but I found these. Have you had these?

It says 9g carbs with 7g fiber per 1/4 cup. What? 2g net carbs in a quarter of a cup? Is that right?

They aren’t bad. Could use more salt, IMO, but crunchy and overall not bad, especially when you’re STARVING.

fromsmallvilletosuperman : I got a little bitty bag of almond flour (not sure how much is in it, but it’s not very big, maybe 3 cups? Maybe only 2) to try that bread … it cost $10!! AT WAL-MART! Wow. Think I’ll check Amazon in the future for it, as you suggested.

Made some kale chips!

If you like kale, you’ll like kale chips. I don’t really like kale but I’m trying since it’s so healthy, so these weren’t too bad.

Chop kale, cut away the stem, lay out on baking sheet with parchment paper, spray with olive oil spray, season (These ones are Himalayan pink salt and onion powder), bake at 350 for 20ish min.

These are reeeeallly easy and there are a ton of different flavor options! I might try some cayenne pepper next time!

This is what I live with everyday, and I basically want to throw up all the time.

#BAMBNF Alert Family Reaching our for OUR HELP - SHARE!! #Oregon #Cali #Washington 15-year-old Bedria Williams missing since 1/11/13 SHARE SHARE SHARE!!! Her sister writes:

Hello,

I am reaching out to you with a cry for help: My 15 year old sister, Bedria Williams, ran away from home (Creswell, Oregon) on 1/11/13. She was last seen in Sacramento California on 1/19/13.

Here is what little information my family knows: We believe she traveled to Portland, Oregon on the night of 1/11/13, where she may have made contact with an ex-con. From there, it is clear from a series of phone calls that she somehow made her way to Sacramento, California – My Mother received a restricted phone call from a woman who said she saw Bedria in Michigan, she also said that Bedria was safe but didn’t want to come home. We were able to trace the phone call and found out that it was a Sacramento phone number, the phone call was not made in Michigan. It is clear this woman was lying. My Father called this same Sacramento phone number and they told him that Bedria was with them. While attempting to go to Sacramento to find Bedria, my Dad received a phone call from the same number and was told that he was never going to see his daughter again. The Sacramento Police looked for Bedria at the house where the phone number was registered, but she was not there. This was on 1/19/2013 and we haven’t heard anything since. There is a very real problem with sex trafficking in Sacramento, and we are extremely worried that she will get caught up in it. I have contacted all of the news stations in both Portland and Eugene Oregon, as well as the stations in Sacramento. So far I have not been able to get our story aired on any station. I was told that they do not cover stories like Bedria’s because she ran away. 4 days after I rec’d that email that news station aired a story about a 14 year old boy who ran away from home, he just happened to be white. I don’t know what else to do besides ask for your help in getting her name and face out there for everyone to see. I fear that we may never see Bedria again. Is there anything you can do to help my sister Bedria, and my family?

Thank you for any help that you can provide, Cori Williams

And he was never seen again.

I finally broke down today and saw a psychiatrist. I walked into the room and burst into tears. I cried for the entire hour session. 

She had me take a depression test and I couldn't stop bawling because all of the questions it asked me are exactly how I have been feeling for the past month. 

Having a hard time sleeping, and when I do sleep, I feel just as exhausted. I also have constant bags around my eyes that make it look like I haven't slept in a year. Having a hard time getting out of bed.....

Loss of sex drive... which has been awful on my partner. I used to enjoy it so much and want it so frequently. Now when I even think about having sex I just lose all of my energy and I just want to sleep.

Anxiety. Socially, Mentally. When I am alone I panic because I assume the worst will happen to me. When I want to talk to someone new I literally sicken my way out of it and it angers me. I get so nervous to talk to people that it literally hurts me.

Loss of interest in things I used to enjoy...

Irritability.. which I didn't even know was a symptom...

Low self-esteem...

And it even affects weight loss/gain. I haven't lost any weight in the last 4 months and all I have been doing is eating clean and working out. 

I just want all of this to go away... I don't even know why I am sad. I have a good life. 

I just feel so.. alone.
