Three Years… Three Differences

In the past three years I’ve been battling a lot of my own.

My weight loss support group has fall rallies to highlight the success we do each summer.

Two summers ago I was near a breakdown on the cusp of a relapse. I was nearing a big crash.

Last year I was starting the path but I still wasn’t there. I didn’t grasp the necessity of caring for my mental health, that medication is just as important as everything else and that consistency is the key.

And today… the same rally but I’m more relaxed than I’ve been in a very long time. I know how to best care for myself and that medication is crucial to be consistent for me to have the best quality of life possible.

I’m no longer surviving, I’m thriving.

I also know that I can no longer blame the meds for the weight gain.

For far too long I’ve been attached to screens and becoming an isolated sedentary person who needs to do more work to be the person who I want to be, combatting my health issues and starting to make positive life choices beyond my mental health

Because all the dimensions of wellness matters to me just as much as the ones who know that they can do what’s right for being well and saying no to temptation… but keep radiating positivity throughout.

Here’s to better days and better destinations ahead!

Loving and accepting myself for what life is my fault and choices but working on making things right going forward.
