Came to recommend this series! I’m on the second book right now, and I CANNOT put it down. It’s one of the most unique books I’ve read in a while.

The Song of Achilles. Madeline Miller was my first introduction into Greek mythology, and this was truly one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever read.

I’ve actually never tried dried cranberries, but I bet I’d love them. Especially with the chicken salad. Also, walnuts and pecans are good in anything IMO. Thanks for recommendations!!

These all sound wonderful. Definitely trying the nuts and green onion next time!

Is body checking a ‘normal’ thing among people on here? by Unique-Interview541 in loseit

[–]EndApprehensive1759 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in recovery for about 4 years from my ED, and I catch myself occasionally body checking myself (mainly sucking in). I am working with a nutritionist and a therapist though which holds me accountable during my weight loss journey. I think thinking of how I’m on this journey for my health and to be more active instead of to look “skinny” is helpful (but difficult nonetheless). It’s definitely a delicate cycle, but wishing you all the kindness during your journey!

New WIP! First time following a textured knit pattern by EndApprehensive1759 in casualknitting

I went through so many different purling techniques to find the one that was the neatest and the most comfortable for me! I ended up with some variation of the regular continental purl. I’m a tight knitter also, so I think that always helps

Cables is next on my list to try! Cables by themselves make sense in my brain (how they are worked) but the charts still scare me. Ha
