We went from parka weather to bikini weather in a week! My benzo taper continues to go well. I had a nice time riding our train today, going to a quiet mall for lunch and going in two ZOOM mental health events. I messed up a joke i tried to tell and felt like a horse's @$$ but i tried using my new self-compassion skills and was somewhat successful. I watched the self-compassion video again and i'll have to make it a daily practice to combat all those years of self-esteem training. Still no word from the weight loss clinic. So hard to wait. Such mixed feelings about it. I learned that they have a psychiatrist and psychologist on staff as part of their "team approach." I guess that's good but i'll have to bring my diplomacy skills with me as i have problems with both professions. I learned three new things about using ZOOM on my phone. Every time i use it i learn something new.

Hugs to all!
