I admit Ive been struggling mentally a bit of late with my arthritis flare, mainly because it reminds me of back when I first started my journey and the dark place I was in then. For me, having this flare feels alot like I havent succeeded in getting a hold over my arthritis and if I havent succeeded then I must have failed. Im so black and white at times lol. It takes conversations like this to remind me that I havent failed. :/ Friend: You are living the lifestyle of a person with no disease at all. Me: Very true and THAT is what I must remember. Friend: Most people with your condition are getting around on motorized scooters and needing a carer to make their meals and feed them. Be very proud that you took control of that and said Not me, I am not a helpless person. You should be so very proud. Me: Coach said to me last week that my before and after pics are amazing in their own right because of the difference between the two. But what is really amazing is everything Ive struggle thru to get there - ie hormonal bloat, arthritis pain, etc. Thing is Im just trying to not end up in a wheelchair. Id rather die. Friend: He is right. Just the aesthetic transformation alone is amazing but add in the condition you overcame to achieve it and you are an inspiration, woman! Thank you to my friend for reminding me of what I have achieved instead of what I havent. You know who you are. xxxx
