what a gift it is to come back to yourself
TW: weight
So...this morning, when I was updating my stats in MyFitnessPal (which I haven’t done in almost a year), I realized that I’m 17 pounds lighter than I was last year in May 2021. Sometime between towards the end of December 2021 and the beginning of this year, I made the decision to stop focusing so much on calories. I’ve shifted my focus on eating more intuitively and on how the food I eat makes me feel. I have also not been actively weighing myself. I think the last time I stepped on a scale in my own home was over a year ago. The only reason why I know how much I weigh now is because I had a doctor’s appointment a few days ago.
I feel good because I hadn’t realized that I’ve made that much progress so far. I knew I had made some, since some of my favorite clothes weren’t fitting as tightly, but I had assumed it was probably just from bloating less.
I really hope I continue to see this trend. I’m also hoping that since it’s taking longer than I’m used to, it’ll be more sustainable in the long run :)
I’ve been trying to do a reset after a mentally draining few weeks.
I ended up cleaning my depression room last night, which I’m really happy about. Then I burned some incense afterward. I plan on cleansing my entire space later this week to help with the vibes.
Now I’m gonna get back on track with my physical health because I feel like my PCOS has really been flaring up this past week. I know I need to give myself some grace though. The last couple weeks have just been about surviving and taking it one day at a time. Now I’m ready to get back to focusing on my goals.
I hope you will find peace wherever you go🐱🌻
