starting day 9

Its weird.  I find that I wake up in the night (thank God I am able to sleep) with a nausous stomach and nervous.  My mornings typically are the worst.  Crawling feelings and absolutely no energy but last night I was actually able to enjoy watching the fireworks with my daughters.  That, for me, is a real turning point.  I still feel sick today but not as bad as yesterday.  I keep telling myself that the good periods are going to start outweighing the bad.  Here's to a good day.

Congrats on 9 days!
that is 9 sunrises you decided to remake in a new image of yourself.  That is AWESOME!
it should make you smile at yourself.  :)

And I bet your kids had a turning point of their own just as precious to them as it is to you.

Cyber hi-five!

Not talkn bout your family, friends...but by people like me. People that are n the same boat, people that r not ever goin to judge you for your mistakes. You are a wonderful person & you r doing the right thing. I myself have 2 young boys (5 & 10) & for you to suffer thru the pain & watch the fireworks w/ your wonderful kids, you have created a joyous memory, not just for you, but for them! Thats what its all about!!! You, & the rest of us out here can get healthy. We can do this! Together! One day @ a time! One step @ a time! Take care & make  more wonderful, inspiring moments & memories!!!
