Do you ever stop and just think about how far you have come? Today is one of those days. Not sure what prompted it, but I was sitting at my desk and boom… Hit me like a ton of bricks.

I was remembering what it felt like to hurt to get out of bed, how sad and isolated I felt. I remember sneaking food so no one would know how much I am ate… And showing up at the gym, just to meet up with a friend to go to breakfast.

All this hit me as I pulled out my blender (have a ninja bullet at work that a friend gave me as a way to support my efforts) and I made my IP chocolate drink mix with ice, water, and peppermint extract… Because I am prepared… Who the heck am I?????

So much has changed… My choices, my attitude, my clothes, my relationships, my world… And I am very grateful!!!!
