Celebrate the little victories

Hi everyone!


Ive been dealing with separation anxiety from my boyfriend for a while now. Today is the first day we are spending apart in a few weeks and I'm proud of myself for keeping it together. I made sure I would have things to do around the house to keep me busy and it's working. It may seem like nothing to some people but to me this was a big day. I'm celebrating my little victories :) I hope everyone is having a great day! Things get better!

Congrats! I don't think it's a small achievement, I think you deserve a prize, given some of the messes I have made of relationships and separation anxiety. I hope the rest of today and tomorrow go well for you, too! You're off to a great start.

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
