“Look for the remedy inside the pain.

because the rose came from the thorn

and the ruby came from a stone.’”

• showered
• made plans to see a friend this weekend
• went out to dinner with my family even though i had the option of staying home
• had three meals
• took a walk in the woods to enjoy the perfect weather
• am about to go to bed after having actually brushed my teeth (!) and changed into pajamas(!!!), instead of just collapsing into bed fully clothed like I have the past few nights.

Considering how incredibly shitty things have been food- and mood-wise this week, I am proud of myself for today. I am taking the first step to make sure my depression doesn’t continue on this downward spiral. I can’t let my eating get out of hand. I can’t relapse. There are too many good things headed my way this summer.

perks of not having a thigh gap:

• when food drops on your lap, you can catch it
• you look more like beyoncé

yesterday, i had myself convinced that i didn’t care if i made it through this summer; that, in fact, it would probably be for the best if i didn’t. this morning, i woke up with a tiny spark of motivation that had disappeared in this past week. i got myself out of bed, applied for a few summer jobs online, took a shower, ate breakfast. all feel like major accomplishments at this point.

i don’t want to spend this summer wallowing in my own misery. i want to be able to enjoy it, even if only a little.
