So here's my big news: I got a full-time job in a new city! I've moved and will be starting my job tomorrow.

I'm in the same city the boy is in.   I went to church this morning and he was there! Didn't get a chance to talk to him, though.

I'm terrified, but also excited! I get to start over. I'm going to fight to choose happiness above anything else that I may feel.

I'm completely in charge of my own food now. Money is going to be an interesting concept for a bit. While I'll be making a ton more money, I also have a bunch of new expenses and I desperately need furniture, cleaning supplies, and cooking implements. So I need to figure out a balancing act. Meanwhile, I want to still eat enough. I drop weight way too easily.

Here are some things that could help me keep my weight on:

1. Cheap, healthy, fatty foods - Avocados, peanut butter, nuts, cheese, full-fat dairy, eggs
2. Accept and finish every bite of any food that is offered/given to me.
3. Lighter exercise. I live in a city that's full of people biking and walking, so I'll probably start doing that instead of my intense elliptical sessions.
4. Drink plenty of water.

So right now, my intake is looking something like this:
Breakfast - A banana, oatmeal with butter and honey, a glass of milk
Lunch - A turkey, cheese, and avocado sandwich with olive oil mayo or a homemade tuna salad sandwich, an apple, water
Snack - Trail mix with nuts, seeds, and raisins in it or tuna salad with crackers, water
Dinner - Scrambled eggs and a piece of bread with peanut butter on it or spaghetti and a vegetable stir fry, spearmint tea made from my spearmint plant!

Not bad at all with the budget I'm working with. My grocery bill today was less than $15!

This won't be permanent. This is just for the first few months while I figure things out.

Some ideas for myself as I feel more comfortable with what I know my wallet can handle:

• Check nearby Asian grocer for chicken feet to finally try chicken feet soup - http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=25601&highlight=chicken+feet+soup

Some videos about food prep that I like:

The fullness in my breasts is hanging in there, despite all the stress and strain I've been under. Been faithful to my massages. I should be getting my period soon, I think. We'll see if my body is relaxed enough for me to get it.

Last year, I made a goal to get a higher-paying job and move to this city this year. I can't believe I did it. Thank you, Jesus.
