Reluctance, Relief, and Response

After over 2 weeks of nursing my itchy body (see more details here) I was highly RELUCTANT to step on the scale this morning.   Good eating habits have gone out the window as I've caved to cravings and neglected the preparation of healthy meals.  Furthermore, I mostly sat in a chair in my tacky terrycloth robe - the only comfortable position and clothes given my condition!

So imagine my RELIEF to see that I have not gained any weight!  It's a sort of miracle.  Hershey Hugs candy wrappers clutter the table beside my recliner.  How can this be?!

My RESPONSE to this is fresh enthusiasm.  As the rash wanes and my energy returns, I am optimistic about today and the days to come.  (Two weeks behind, but optimistic!)

What I did right:  It's still early in the morning, but I weighed myself!

    It's always fun when we can eat chocolate and not gain any weight. One Of life's little surprises.

    It's good to recognize that you do something good each day. And weighing yourself and finding you've not gained any weight is good news anytime.

    During the time my Mom was in the hospital, I missed out on so much. So glad to visit you here again. I didn't know about your poison....I know you were miserable. Our daughter had it really bad one summer and had to have two cortisone shots to get rid of it!
