Been using noom to help find a better way to lose weight (because diabetes and heart disease.) It's based on cognitive behavioral therapy and designed to help you challenge unhealthy thoughts and habits so you can sustain weight loss by changing your relationship to food, movement, and replacing old habits with positive sustainable habits. However, today's lesson had to do with choosing a friend to be accountable to. It asked me to pause and reflect on things. I don't like to do that because the contents of my head can be scary and dark...lots of spaces like that inside. Due to my own issues, among other things, my life has been very lonely and isolated. I didn't and still don't connect with people because if I can't stand to me around me sometimes (less now than in the past) how can I ask someone, anyone to be my friend. Honestly I don't have any friends. Want to be held and take a nap. Don't have anyone (other than my therapist) to talk to and no one who really knows me. Don't want to whine..which is exactly what this sounds like to me. Sorry.
