Brag

I'm not going to pretend that I'm doing well, but I am doing several things well. I am probably struggling a little more emotionally since I got back to a more respectful eating pattern, but that hasn't meant that I stopped. While the emotional discomfort would normally send me running for the fridge, I haven't done so...at least 95 % of the time.

I had a follow up session with the counselor today and I found it went even better than the initial visit. She encouraged me to continue to focus on the positives, as I've been trying to do. She also asked me to tell her what they were so I'd be reminded. She told me that eating, exercising and sleeping well are all part of a good strategy, and to make sure I maintained emotional contact with people I love, because that's also critical.

Today I also got an email from the social worker at the clinic, saying she had another information about the other person who does EMDR, and that she's amazing. I followed up with a phone call and am waiting to hear back from her to see if she might be available before July.

The 2 cedars and the currant bush I planted on the weekend seem to be doing well. I think it's a good sign.

Love, elly
