Hi everyone!
The past couple of years have been really tough. I lost my mom to Leukemia in March of 2020 along with a whole lot of other host of difficult things happening.
Positive notes-I have:
- Become aware that I have used food as a comfort since I was very young
- Continued therapy to address grief, depression, and CPTSD
- Practiced intentionally being more compassionate and gentle with myself
- Not picked up a drink and celebrated 9 years of recovery in September
- Found healthier ways to cope
- Found healthier, more satisfying ways to nourish my body
- Realized hydration is so important.
This has been an imperfect journey. Exercising has been difficult due to the depression, but I think it’s my next step. I’ll probably reach out in the new year for help.
I have reached a place where I feel so much more confident and free. In August 2020 I weighed 149lbs at 5’5, and today I weighed in at 129lbs. Looking back on pictures I can see the difference, but mostly I can feel the difference :)
