So, I'm on vacation this week at the beach. I'm not staying on the ocean, but that's okay. Just getting away is good for the soul. I've found on this autoimmune journey that I have to take time out for me. I have learned to say no. I have to accept that I probably will not ever be able to go like I did when I was 25 or even 30. Some people may ask, "why do you have to accept that?" To those people, I say, I don't want or need to go like that. I was working 2 jobs, smoking a pack or pack and a half of cigarettes a day, and going out on the 1 or 2 nights a week I was not working. I weighed over 300 pounds. I now crave a night at home in my snuggie, with my hubby, and watching a movie while enjoying a glass of wine with some crab dip. Living that old life helped drive me to some of the lows I had with my Hashimoto's disease. It also helped create some anger issues that I had to seek therapy for when I was at my lowest point.
I'm on vacation this week. I've napped 3 or 4 times already and it's only Wednesday.
Peace.
