Just breathe…
Hung over…

From food of all things… I have learned through doing the Radiant Recovery program several things about myself…apparently that isn’t enough to stop me from doing it though. So, I quit my job as a dog bather on Monday after a truly wretched day…that day was kind of a blur…and I felt miserable and self medicated…Wednesday started out well…I still don’t know how it went wrong… I had a great meditation session, I went to yoga class (granted my regular teacher has left for India but the class was still good) I was late getting my lunch because of traffic and stupid road construction. I think that that is where things got screwy… when I got home I ate to compensate…and I guess I just didn’t quit…all day…now there isn’t nearly the amount of junk in the house that I used to eat…well…that doesn’t really help me any more because it takes a lot less crap to make me feel horrible these days. And so I have… I woke up feeling just like I used to before I started recovery…foggy…nauseous…exhausted…bitchy… It was horrible, I have really gotten used to the ease of my mornings…feeling bright and clear and happy, I had forgotten how bad it used to be. I did manage to get myself back on the path today…it wasn’t ideal as I didn’t get to work out or anything but at least my food was stable and on time and nothing in between. I also managed to grab a quick nap on the couch before I had to make dinner which made me feel better for awhile. I am still fighting with a headache that may or may not turn into a migraine…dang I hope it doesn’t… I have completed my application for a dogwalking position and have to run out tomorrow for a legal size envelope…wish me luck!! I am scared of demoralizing myself by getting on the scale so I don’t think that I will right now…we’ll see…

Ah, Ravengirl, it’s not so terrible to be reminded of how things were. Keeps you honest, reminds you why you want to not live that way anymore. Seems to me you handled things fairly well, and you’re getting back to your groove, right up to mailing out that application and having the courage to face the scale. Some days are just harder then others, arent’ they? Be kind to yourself today, okay? Ruby
