Sorry for that abrupt ending. I no longer have my laptop out because it's a time stealer and I couldn't see on my little phone screen what I was even writing. Thank God it appears as poetic as I'd hoped.😆  

I put off starting to track calories, or dieting, or whatever we're doing here. I thought I would hate it. I thought it would be unpleasant. I was so wrong. It is so empowering. I am so much happier knowing that I am moving in the right direction, rather than feeling guilty all the the time. I know that if I track calories, I will lose weight. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower, but I will lose it. It works so well that, years ago when I was pregnant with my son, I tracked calories/nutrients to make sure I was getting proper nutrition. I lost weight then, which I knew was a problem, so I stopped. Anyway, now my smaller portions are starting to look and feel normal. My appetite is shrinking. I have tried keto before, but I much prefer tracking calories and allowing all foods. I have been losing a lot of water weight, i.e. glycogen. I am actually looking forward to this falsely fast weight loss to stop so I can just grind and know that the scale results I'm seeing are real fat loss. I gotta get to the gym and lift. Good luck! Stay consistent with the tracking!  

Love ya, girl! 

That is a beautiful fucking post. I will cheer for you every damn day. Love the salty language, LOL. 

You are a Beautiful Warrior! Even the military recognizes the need for R&R! You find your way when the time is right! Healing is a Process! You Go Girl!  

Every day is a chance to take care of ourselves. Thank you for the reminder 

DP I’m not the first to say this but your honesty is so compelling. I think sometimes you speak for a lot of us who are not brave enough to admit how we’re feeling and I just want to say thank you. Blessings to you and so happy you’re feeling better. 

Great job and keep up the good work and loving yourself 

it you lose someone I was just ordering my memorial day flowers the memories are good and the memories are horrible I wish you nothing but the best I know you can do it you were so strong 

Cheering you on all the way! 💪🏻 

👏Kudos to you for loving yourself and working hard at it. Love yourself and the rest will follow!!!My daily affirmation 🤗 

We, DP! I am so sorry for your loss. Glad your body's memory of what feels right is kicking in. Be kind to yourself, you have a lot going on. 

DP, love your authenticity. Being perfectly imperfect is a challenge to all of us. Keep being your best self. You got a lot of admirers/supporters here🥰🇨🇦 

hugs* you got this!!  

You’re growing up! See, you even eat ‘some’ chicken now. Love ya girl. I knew you’d find your way again. Now stay the path and don’t go wandering!! 😘😘 

You’re one of the best! Life is hard, life is great, life is living. Is that poetic or just dumb? Keep it up, friend!  

What a lovely post! So happy for you! Sounds like you're in such a good place right now and long may it continue!🤗☀️💕 

It's a process! We all have to go through life's trails and stress in our own time. We all react differently as well. So glad you are feeling better and the fact you are able to believe in a better future and are taking steps to make it happen says volumes. As I told you before, I believe!💜💜🙏🙏 

Happy to hear all of this. Caring for yourself, in every aspect, is a big deal and brings many blessings. 💕 

Very wise observations. Sometimes we do not see that it is the road that is bumpy and blame our own abilities. Getting to that point of self realizations takes as long as it takes
