I meant to share this win last night, but will share it now:

One of my least favorite things about myself is that I give up real easily; it’s so easy for me to quit things. Especially when one of my many chronic health conditions is flaring.

I got to the gym yesterday after sitting in an hour of traffic and I was distended and in pain, but had just sat in an hour of traffic and was determined to do my chest & shoulder workout. So I did. Then I got home and I had PROMISED myself I would go on a walk with Alfredo and I contemplated it for a good 10 minutes and just was like “okay it’s only thirty minutes, maybe it’ll make you feel better” (it absolutely did not lol)

But! I’m just rly proud of myself for being like “absolutely not, we have been dealing with having health issues for over 15 years, we need to learn to adapt, not crawl into a hole and pretend things that are important to you aren’t”
