Nate is at a neuro-oncologist appointment with his parents for Zaide Dovid, so it's a me and E morning so far. She's been her usual cheery self. Fed her some banana and a puree pouch. Those things are fire.

I'm feeling self conscious about my weight recently. Thought I'd share my insecurity for relatability, cuz that's what this whole thing is for, right? I've been particularly harsh on myself postpartum. As is normal, I gained weight for pregnancy. I've fluctuated a lot since then, including involuntary weight loss to the lowest I've weighed in over a decade. Then I started Remeron, and it's helped my mood tremendously, but I've gained a bunch of weight again. The net of it is, I'm heavier than I'd like to be, but also tired of worrying. Balancing my health with my enjoyment of food and need for convenience and solace in this crazy time is really, really hard. I genuinely enjoy salads now, for the first time in my life. But I'm also in love with bread and cheese. Sigh.
