Weight loss
Finally found a way around my medical issues that have caused the weight gain, and those keeping me from losing weight.
Step one: deal with those issues instead of ignoring them
Step two: lots of protein
Step three: keep to a schedule
Step four: ignore the OCD keeping me from the scale
Step five: more protein
Step six: work out at least once a day for at least 5 minutes
Step seven: celebrate the little decreases
Step eight: let myself have anything I want, in small amounts and higher quality than I used to
Step nine: lots of meat
Step ten: eat at least 3 times a day
Step eleven: no soda, lots of juice and tea
Step twelve: seriously though all meals/snacks at least 50% protein
I used to spend my money on soda, now it goes on getting better things for the snacks. I have always drank lots of liquids, I still do, I just go from soda to tea and juice; my gaming peoples keep juice in their fridge as mixer, I commonly go through it in a day of gaming.
The other day I drove past a McDonalds, smelled it and had this sudden craving for some nuggets, and then almost immediately felt sick at the idea of eating them. Why eat nuggets when I could go home and eat some baked chicken strips I made myself, with one of the awesome sauces I made for dipping.
Being healthier when being poor is hard, and takes a lot of time, but it is really worth it. My energy has gone up, and with my energy going up I have been going out more, and as I go out more the more I can ignore the Aspergers voice saying the world is terrifying, well, not ignore, but turn the volume down.

How I got myself excited about emails
My Aspergers has been getting worse over the last couple of years. It got to the point where I could barely answer the phone when I saw it was a friend calling, and it could take me a couple of days to get back to people who sent me emails or texts.
I went on medication for a couple of things a little over a month ago, and while it is helping with my Aspergers, OCD, etc, it had not been able to get me to get past things like emails.
I decided I had kept the same background for my gmail for too long, and should change it. I went looking at the options, there are some pretty awesome ones, then I saw the option for it to change with each login. I thought about it, and decided that would be a great way to decide which one is the forever and permanent optimal background. I have been great ever since about clearing everything, my Inbox has minimal emails, my Trash and Spam get cleaned out every time I look at my email. This has been great for me, my want to see the image in each space means I ignore my other issues and clean up my email. As long as this keeps working for me I will be keeping this gmail option.

Hand started computer
My mom's computer was having issues. I went to see if I could fix it.
I tried a couple of basic things, opened it up, tried a them again. I realized that a fan was not spinning, so after a couple more things I tried spinning the fan as I turned it on. As a person who knows multiple coding languages, has been known to destroy computers just by being near them, I thought I knew computers pretty well.
I had never hand started a computer before, that was just so weird.

How American media sees the world
There is a train derailment in another country, all the news agencies say the country, the number dead, show the video over and over. However countries are not small things, and as such a large country we should know that. In 10 minutes of news coverage they continue to fail to say where exactly it happened.
It took having a friend in a country where they did this for me to notice.
In this case it was Spain, and knowing that my friends in Spain do not drive, but walk and take the train everywhere I was worried that they were on the train, that they were some of the dead. I was worried, but kept trusting that the news would say where, or at least if any Americans were involved. After 10 minutes without any useful information from the news I went online to see if anyone was giving useful information.
I found that it was no where near them, and then found a response that they made to someone else since the derailment. Still, it got me thinking, this happens all the time, not derailments those are rare, but saying a large other as far as to where something happens, each time they do this there are people out there waiting to know if they should worry about their friends, coworkers, family, etc.
And that is your random over-thought thought of the day
