I (20f) have been struggling in the moments before I binge to ground myself and remember my progress and goals. I was looking for a solution, some sort of gadget to fit this need. I need constant reminders for everything else in my life, so I figured something wearable would help. I started googling and found these terribly gaudy bracelets that had 5,10,15... pounds in huge font and there were gemstones to place in the hole of each weight. I wanted something more discrete but I was finding nothing. So I decided to make my own bracelet. I went to a craft store and got those black little moon rock-looking beads, and some beautiful tiger eye beads. Every 5 pounds I lose I’m going to swap out a black bead for a tiger eye. I’m hoping that seeing a constant reminder of my goals and my progress will help me have strength in my weakest moments. And by the end I’ll have a totally beautiful bracelet that represents so much hard work. I have no idea how much it’ll help yet, I just made it today, but I’m really excited to try it. Has anyone else ever done something similar?
Side note: I don’t believe in this stuff, but I thought it would be interesting to look up the “meaning” or “effect” of the stone and the first few results say inner strength, courage, and willpower. Willpower!! That’s a beautiful coincidence if you ask me.
