I've been awake for two hours, and intending to get out of bed for most of that. I need to leave the house soon, but I keep scrolling through Reddit. Same old, same old.

Then I noticed the time and that I now only have 15 minutes left to get ready. So I started scrolling faster.

It took me a long moment to even realise what I was doing. It's like I'm looking for some trigger that says "okay, you're done now", or to 'finish' scrolling through the feed, but of course Reddit will literally never run out of posts.

Edit: yes, I did write this post instead of getting up. Now I have ten minutes...

Today I found out my mental calendar isn't as reliable as I would have liked. I thought my credit card payment was due today, and sent the money late last week so it would clear in time.

Today I logged in to check all was well, only to discover a $20 late fee was applied on Friday. Turns out the payment was due last Monday. Whoops.

This is a pretty rare occurrence for me (pretty sure it's the first one in at least 5 years), and my initial reaction was that it sucked, but I'll be more careful to put the date in my calendar and schedule the payment next month so I can't get it wrong.

Along the way I learned how to run, and eventually started doing long distance running and triathlon. I credit the exercise with my weight loss as much as diet, because my diet definitely wasn't great - I would reduce my intake drastically so I could justify a chocolate biscuit, only to feel so restricted that I'd give up and binge. My body probably only coped with this for as long as it did because I was young.

I've been lurking here since I started keto 10 weeks ago.

My keto experience has matched a lot of the stories here (except my period has been blessedly normal, phew!) but I've struggled to see any real changes in the mirror, even when the scale and the fit of my clothes has indicated that change was happening.

This week something seems to have clicked though, because I seem to be noticing it in every reflection, whether I mean to or not, and it's just so nice!

I've had to put 3 new holes in my belt, and I'm already only using the 2 smallest of those, and all my elastic-waisted shorts are falling down. I'm not ready to spend money on new clothes yet, so I'm thinking I'll put some darts in
