I used to push myself. Told my body NO! you cant have that! you cant have a cigarette! you cant have chocolate! you cannot rest now, and not even at 10pm, we have stuff to do. I used to push, vacuum, dust, mop, scrub, come on! whats wrong with you! Take your meds! I dont care if you dont like them, lets go!

After that huge attack that left me legally blind, I am MUCH more kind to myself. My body said this med is making your MORE sick, and its causing trouble. I quit! You need a nap, off to bed we go! We want dessert first! ok...have a bite first. I found that after eating clean, my body craves the clean food, and finds the junk distasteful, so I did something right. DS wanted to come visit last night, I said NO! I dont feel good today, and you my dear need to do something else, somewhere else, and I watched junk on TV till I finally fell asleep.

Honor they self. it will lead you to good places.
