I feel that I don’t deserve anything for myself. These are old trauma responses I must undo.

I took a walk today on my own which was very nice, it was cold but I have new fleece lined leggings that are very warm. Plus it was sunny and walking briskly warmed me up as well.

Im generally in a bad mood just because of hormones, so I hope to feel better tomorrow.

I understand your struggle to allow yourself a treat when food isn’t involved. That was one of my treats for most of my life. What about buying yourself books as a treat ??

Hopefully you will be feeling better asap ! Just breathe

Good job getting out for that walk
