TW: mention of calories
Just a brief check in today. No long, venting post this time.
Anyway...today went pretty well. I didn’t make it to the gym like I, originally, had planned. However, I was very mindful with what I ate today. I even managed to incorporate some vegetables and fruit. But, I also made sure to not deprive myself. For instance, after lunch today, I really wanted a cookie, so I had a cookie. AND...I didn’t feel bad about it all. I didn’t immediately head to the gym to work off the calories (which is something I would have done a few years ago).
I’d also like to highlight the fact that I went shopping for clothes this past weekend...and guess what? I didn’t have my usual mental breakdown in any of the fitting rooms I used (can’t wait to report this to my therapist LOL).
Overall, I’m really proud of myself. I know that meeting all of my goals will take longer than I’m used to, as I’m doing it with a healthier mindset this time. But, I know that, in the long run, this will be the best and most sustainable way. :)

No better feeling than honouring the promises you made to yourself
DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS.
it is! x
Self care isn't just about doing whatever you feel like doing. Sometimes self care is all about prioritizing your long term health and happiness above engaging in whatever unhealthy coping methods you think would provide a feeling of instant gratification.
