Day # 14: I know I said I was going to do ānon traditionalā things to be grateful for this year, but I want to shout out Joe, who works tirelessly to make sure I can stay home with Joey and who has been my fiercest supporter in pursuing the mental health help I need.
When I asked him if I could go on the retreat Iām on this weekend (praise Jesus for WordPressās scheduling feature š ) he didnāt even let me finish asking before saying I could go.
The Liz from 30 extra pounds ago has been screaming that I canāt pull a certain bathing suit off and Iām an idiot for even thinking I could. Hell, even current Liz is terrified sheās going to get made fun of for wearing it.
But not Joe. Heās seen the work Iāve put in, heās seen the pounds fall off , and he more than willingly gives me the confidence I need while my brain catches up. Even though I canāt quite see the changes to my body yet, I trust him more than my brain because that bitch has proven time and time again that sheās unreliable at best.
And aaaaaalllll that, plus so much more, is why I am grateful for my best friend, my partner in life, my sun moon and stars.
