Thank you for the comments and sorry for the delay in responding – I do really value people sharing their thoughts.

It has been so easy to concentrate on the things I’m not acheiving that I have somehow negated just all that I have done; and forgotten that I can acknowledge my acheivements rather than waiting for others to.

I might start factoring in regular pit stops so I don’t leave it that long again! xx

I think reflection can be a great source of reminder of the place you’re in now versus then. It’s always important to remember your beginning.

Really good stuff. I think stopping and taking those reflective moments are crucial for recovery – 1. to take stock that “yes, I have been suffering and trying to get better and 2. Yes, I have come a long way even though I feel like I’ve not made any progress.

It’s important to remember that when you’re on a constant trip of grinding yourself down.

Great perspective and great post. While I’m kind of at a low point right now, I’m not at my lowest and deserve to give myself credit for everything I have accomplished (and those things completely unrelated to food and exercise, namely).

Thanks for sharing your pit stop!
