“You’re a great dancer!” - Empty Wine Bottle

Yeah, I still don’t have my nachos...so, healing is officially stagnant 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sushi! I’ve tried so hard to like it, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh, nachos for sure.

Yaasss. Nachos. The new ‘I’m over it food’. I like that 😬

Hey you. Yes, you. I’m sorry.

I too struggle with self love and self confidence. I completely empathize with how you feel. It’s difficult to be motivated when you feel as though you’re not worth it. I decided to let myself feel whatever I was feeling, inside of pushing it away. I’ve been trying to focus on short term goals and just the single day…

I second physical therapy. They worked wonders for my ankle recently. Also, you can try a heating pad - that has helped my back before. Depending on how severe it is, you may need to take ibuprofen regularly for 1 week (600mg 3x/day). It will help with inflammation so the muscle can heal.

I really appreciate others sharing their journeys: struggles and victories! Feel free to add me 🙂

Let it go! Today is a new day. You got this!

New pet! 😉

Apparently MFP doesn’t approve of a*s*s 😂

As a nurse on the frontline, thank you for staying home! I’ve been working more than ever, sadly, and getting my *kitten* kicked in the Covid ICU.

Naughty. Yep.

Sadly, a test prep book. But, waiting on “Black Man in a White Coat” to arrive for my nurse friend book club.

Thinking about the house work I don’t want to do. Procrastinating with coffee #2. Coffee is life. How do you take it?

Hahahaha it changed my curse to kitten. Nice.

*kitten*! Also, you’re allowed to rant. It’s my preferred reaction.

I hope you’ve had a better few days since you posted. I completely understand the struggle! When those old trigger foods, patterns, or emotions sneak up on you, the resolution wanes. 1 lb is not a back slide! You got this. Let’s get this *kitten* done.

wow, thanks for all of the awesome ideas everyone! I can't wait to try some.

I take trazodone at a low dose for sleep, and Prozac for depression. I think I can account for my unhealthy habits as results of poor coping mechanisms. I didn’t have a drastic weight change when starting either one. However, they do affect people differently, and that can be a side effect of many antidepressants. Talk to…

I love the boxing idea!! Perfect. Thank you!

I found a routine on Pinterest that has those incorporated. Thank you!

Great advice! I had PT today, and if went well.

I’d love some motivational friends to keep me going!

I’m back...again...for weight loss that will hopefully improve my fitness! Best of luck to you on your journey

Virginia!

Wow! You are an inspiration!

Also, living within reach of certain ‘kid’ snacks had been a problem for me. I’ve found that when I’m with my family, I do great. But, on days when I’m off and home alone, those are the days when I’m more likely to binge. I’m planning to text my husband what I eat today in hopes that it will help keep me accountable.
