Today’s win I’m on day 5 of caring about my health again. For dinner I picked up a salad from a chicken place. This was my first meal that I didn’t make myself. The last month, whenever I would go there, I would order a 6 pack of cookies and eat two on the way home and hide the remaining 4 from my family and eat them in secret throughout the evening. Today, I just ordered the salad and ate that. It felt good (and a little strange, like something was missing) and I’m glad that I made the best decision for my health and my family. Just thinking about the amount of money I have spent the last 7 months on junk food makes me so mad at myself. But I have to move on. I have learned a lot about myself and that doesn’t have a price tag. Already, 5 days in, most of the pain I was having has disappeared. I was having some flare ups. I’m going to celebrate today’s victory by going to bed and trying to sleep in tomorrow. My husband, son and I are going to a Brazilian steakhouse for dinner and I couldn’t be more excited. 🥩🥩🥩🥩
