Above All Be Kind to Yourself

The last few days have been very emotional.
I've eaten far too much Christmas cake (it's my favourite). But, I'm not beating myself up.

Even though I can feel it in my body, I'm telling
​myself it is okay.
I'm retaining fluid.

I'm feeling my clothes are a little firmer.

This is not a failure.
This is not a downward spiral.
This is not permanent.

It is a temporary bump in the road of a successful journey that will continue.

Today I am back on track.

No Christmas cake today, but tomorrow I can plan one small planned piece a day with a cup of tea (as I did each day last week).

There are times when I just need to give myself a break. This is one of those times. What's most important is that I really look after myself during emotionally painful times. Doing really nice things for myself. Taking a hot bubble bath. Soaking in the spa. Watching a movie on the couch instead of doing the chores, just for a bit. 

Taking time for me is what I know I need to do, well do, even if it's the tiniest amount of the day. Love yourself enough to do this. 

From experience I know that this too shall pass, but right now, I need to love myself even more.
