In 2016, I really didn't see it coming. I thought that surely, anyone with half a brain would realize how massively unqualified Trump is to be President. In 2024, I was hopeful that he wouldn't be re-elected. I mean, we lived through 4 years of his reign and clearly, anyone with half a brain would realize we left his presidency worse than we entered. But, I stand corrected. And it's been a rough day. I don't believe in voting for people who rape women, who are convicted felons, who make fun of those with intellectual disabilities, who claim immigrants eat dogs, who believe that half the population shouldn't have the right to bodily autonomy, who believe they are better due to their race. And I'm disappointed that so many people did vote for that person. If you're a Trump fan, look elsewhere. Life is short and Trump is going to set this nation back centuries. I will not waste my precious time on this Earth arguing otherwise. I have seen the effects of his policies firsthand. I live in fear for my Black children because of his leadership. This is not a time to be celebrating. This is a time of mourning.
On to today: I did a weigh-in, as promised.
I've lost a whopping 0.2 pounds since I last posted my weight, per this photo. However, I've also gained weight and lost it again. I'm hoping to keep up the losing momentum! I want to get below 237 before the end of the year! Having oral surgery later this month should help.

I ate maybe 5-6 of these from the nurse's station today, too.
I came home after work, did 30 minutes on the Peloton, and had pizza with my mom and lamented the election results. I also set up my new printer and printed Reyah's birthday invitations. I will shortly sit in front of the TV to try to be numb to the pain of today.
