"'Pay attention' is code for 'You suck at this.' Oura then reminds me that 'Alcohol can keep your heart rate elevated throughout the night,' and I’m like, Bitch, I didn’t drink alcohol, and Oura is like, Dumbass, you ate ice cream at 9pm."
Your inner monologues are delightfully entertaining and eerily similar to the not-so-kind version of me.
My Mom and I ate a small ice cream cone every night for about 2 years (peak pandemic times). Some "this doesn't fit anymore!" shame was involved, but now we've pivoted to yogurt or oatmeal. Not that this is a tip for kicking your ice cream habit. I would never.
“And also, if anyone has tips for how to kick my ice cream habit, please don’t bother because I’m not ready to let it go.” lolol this is how I feel about any of my vices I’ve kept. I cut sugar out before alcohol and it is way harder. “Cut” is also a strong word. I never miss drinking but I miss sugar so much that whenever people ask me what I’d do if the world was ending, my answer is always “buy Oreos”.
Charlie, when you write a book, I'll be the first to buy it. I've been binging on your writing like it's Ben and Jerrys. (I'm a Häagen-Dazs girl, but also struggle with eating sweets since quitting alcohol.) Thanks for continuing to write.

An interesting storyline with a nice work out 👍😊

Really enjoyed this one Charlie!
I love your brutal honesty. Congrats on the shift.

Your inner voice and my inner voice would totally be friends.

Your Oura ring relationship reminds me of the Carrot weather app. 😂
