Quiet decision

With no more fanfare than is given the decision to sayyyyyyy, brush my teeth in the morning, I'm resuming mindful eating habits and a moderate exercise program.  I'm really just tired of being uncomfortable.  And perhaps more poignant; yesterday I found myself actively avoiding my own reflection in the bathroom mirror.  Yeah.  Whoa.

As before, I'll spend this week reacquainting myself with healthy portions, taking pix and remaining grateful for things I sometimes take for granted.  For example; I was reviewing the pictures I have stashed on my phone and saw reminders of my stay in the hospital 10 months ago... and how completely out of service I was.  Dependent.  Helpless.  Scared.

Remembering these things helps prioritize other things.

Will I ever again see these feet...

 

...back in these boots?

 

 

What I looked like when people were watching...

 

...What I felt like all the time.

 

I hate you.

I hate you too.

 

 

Suddenly the choice to nosh on an apple instead of a box of Gorilla Munch is an easy one to make.
