It's only fair that I share my bad days with my inspiring days. Yes, I struggle...I work through fears...and I feel overwhelmed. The daunting questions of the day...what am I going to eat next? I'm starving, what am I going to make for dinner? I feel symptoms, are they new? Why do I feel so tired, that I feel drunk? Why does my body miss the Mona Vie so much and why does it have to be so damn expensive? Am I letting fear creep in because my energy is down? We went over to friend's house last night and although they so graciously cooked me chicken because I couldn't eat the meatballs, everything else was still off the diet. I felt a little frustrated that they had to cater to me, frustrated that they thought they were eating healthy, frustrated that they kept asking if I "could have this and that", and feelings that I was a little lonely on my path. Even Jake could cheat here and there with no guilt. There is something triggered in me that ques the panic when I "cheat". This isn't like falling off a diet...this is making conscious choices that could hurt me down the road. I have to rest each day and in doing so it makes me feel a little lazy and alone. I am working on the rest time as rejuvenating moments instead of slacker moments that fill me with guilt. I'm filled with guilt that I am not working out yet. As I sled with the kids and get my heart rate up and body temp rising, panic sets in a bit that I will overheat and bring on an exasperation...fear. My friend Minda, would ask me right now, "have you talked to Herman..."? It's not part of the routine...I can't find my routine, I have dodged routine for this long, why do I have to find one now? Thank you Herman for this moment...this moment when I am able to gather enough courage to find my strength...."Even though I have fears about this disease, I love and accept myself!" I do have fears and struggles, but each day I am learning, growing and dreaming and that is more than some people have in a lifetime. I am grateful for my health and my life. I am blessed. I AM......
