It's a miracle! The sun is shining in the South Wales valleys. I won't be surprised if I see a SKY news van in the vicinity later ;-)
Yesterday was a rollercoaster day. I suffer with clinical depression (because being morbidly obese isn't quite trauma enough for me... lol) and yesterday afternoon I hit a brick wall. I felt so overwhelmed by everything; the children were arguing, the dog was misbehaving, the house was a mess and all I wanted to do was eat my weight in chocolate (no easy task) and sleep for a month.
Fortunately, I got through it without the aid of chocolate and managed to stick to my reduced points (thanks to the Harvester) so today I am feeling slightly victorious because I fought a little binge demon and I won.
Everyday I am learning something new about the unknown inner strength I have. I have always thought myself to be weak, but I'm stronger than I give myself credit for. I've raised 3 children practically by myself despite being only 16 when I became a mother. I have suffered with crippling depression and yet somehow still managed to keep fighting when the greatest desire I had was to give up. This weight-loss journey is just another step I need to take in order to get my life back together, and you know what.. I think I'm going to be ok.
Happy Monday everyone :)
