Positive Addendum to My Negativity Party

I ended the last post feeling like Wesley in the Pit of Despair. I feel like I'm failing and have no answers on how to stop. So I decided to go back and read some of my older posts to get my blood pumping a motivating beat.

I realized something. I am not a complete failure.

For someone who is a people pleaser and unrealistic goal setter, this is not a phrase I use often. Instead I adore beating myself over the head and shouting "Failure!"

Instead, I need to speak truth. Here are a list of things I have succeeded in these least dark weeks. Here's the truth:

1. I hardly ever eat to fill a need anymore. Eating to reward myself or fill a need is not even on my radar these days. When did that happen?!
2. I am much more concious of what I eat and if I could afford it I would choose to eat healthier foods. That is a change.
3. I am working at being more put together. I made myself spend money on me and bought some new clothes. I got a nice new haircut that is easier to care for and very trendy (loving it!). I dyed my hair a fun red to look more attractive and polished.
4. I was very, very tempted to quit these last few weeks. But I didn't. And I won't. That above everything else is a huge success!

Look at me go! :)
