Day one of no contact

I haven't responded to his email from last night.
And I feel really, really good about that.
I'm down 21 pounds so far this year....I'm living healthy.  I'm feeling good.  
I'm thinking when he emails me again I'm going to ignore him for a bit.  i think when I do respond I'm going to tell him I need some time.  We both need to "practice" not being together.  It's been the greater part of our adult lives- 13 years.  That's not something that I think I can quit cold turkey...although maybe I will.  I'm feeling strong.  I need to keep working out and taking care of me.
I know it's time.  
One day at a time.  To be continued tomorrow- with day 2 of no contact.
