So just when you think you've got it all under control....
the past few months have been very challenging. I've experienced so much worry, grief and stress that I watched myself fall right back in to old habits. It's as if October through January I was taken over by an eating alien. The whole month after my stepdad died, I couldn't stand to exercise and food was comfort. In my head I knew that not nourishing myself wasn't going to help, but I didn't even care.
I am lucky... and grateful that all of the hard work I've done over the past year strengthened my body to protect it from going down hill again. So I know I have to get myself back in to gear. I can't get discouraged by my mistakes and I have return to where I was at my healthiest. So I'm finding different ways to handle these emotions. Getting myself more organized, decluttering and resting. I'm finding my creative outlets and letting them flourish again. I am reclaiming my emotional center and once again renegotiating the terms of my relationship with food.
