Hello to all,
I am doing alright, still sober, which is always a plus. The eating, well, I'm just taking it daily. Some days, I am strong and it is not an issue. Others, not so much. As has been shared here, I am affirming my self worth and not "putting myself" down. I have a tendency to say really "mean" things to myself. I would never say the words to another person who was suffering. So, I have decided to treat "Bloss" as I would another, with kindness. I am less likely to use food as a "tool" to reduce my anxiety or suppress feelings, if I employ this logic. It is a definite pattern with me, if I am not drinking alcohol, I am eating oddly, overly and not helpfully to my well-being. But, I am going to stop bashing myself over and over, if I do not attain perfection. I'm not even sure what I visualize perfection as looking like. Reading everyone's posts helps me not feel alone. I find such encouragement in everyone's story. Have a strong, happy and kind (to yourself) week.
