Today I have had an emotionally charged flat day (due to circumstances external to my sleeve) and has left me wanting to resort to my old habits of eating my feelings……

So instead of eating I found another outlet for my stress related food desired in cooking delicious and healthy food to stock up the freezer. 

So I needed to give myself a pep talk on this off day to remind myself how far I have coke, how much I have already changed and that I am strong and proud!

Essentially I need to be kinder to myself!
