Still Thriving

I am overjoyed to get back into this group after being offline for almost 3 yrs.


I hope to give hope, love and light to those of you who live in the rich struggle.


I have not plucked in over a year after actively plucking for 40+ years.


Stopping is a process. I did it without medication or traditional therapy. Intentionality, creating new healthy habits, showing myself love, compassion, and grace gave been pivotal in my healing process.


There's how for you too!!!

Tammi, I just want to say CLAPS for you!!! That's incredible and I hope that you are so proud of yourself. You said it so well, stopping is a process - I've had periods of time when I've been able to stop for a while, but never long-term. Any insights you have on what may have been a catalyst for you this time would be lovely and appreciated xox

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Reality Check

    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.
