Getting my body healthy too

So I have made some progress, although the weight loss isn't as drastic as I would like it to be, I have lost some inches.  I went shopping the other day because I found out my favorite store, Debs, is going out of business.  I was able to buy a pair of work pants one size smaller and a pair of jeans 2 sizes smaller.  Albeit the jeans are a little snug, but they fit and hopefully they won't be snug for long.  I have also scheduled a dentist appt, first one in almost 10 years, and an eye Dr appt as I cant see very well far away. 
I have also challenged myself to try new things.  For anyone who knows me you know this is a big deal as I do not like trying new foods.  This week I tried Hummus and it was amazing.  I absolutely loved it and will not be trying to make my own at home almost completely from scratch.  I recently started eating tuna fish again as well, which for a couple of years I couldn't even stand the smell.  I will admit I do have to have a lot of mayonnaise, but each time I make it I try to have a smaller amount of Mayo added in.
I have discovered organic sugar and avocado oil at Costco so those two are on my list to purchase and try next.  I am trying to move away from using vegetable oil at all if I can.  Right now I use a lot of EVOO, but I am not a huge fan of the taste.  Anyone have any other healthy alternatives for cooking oils?
Recently I have been on an emotional roller coaster.  Mostly just things with the ex and his new girlfriend.  Sounds like fun eh? Anyways, I have really had to watch my depression and bipolar due to these added stresses.  I have cut the communication down to a bare minimum and have blocked them from most social media.  I also have to remind myself that no matter what she says or accuses me of  I know who I am and what I stand for and that is all that matters.  I will not let anyone bring me down.
