Atkins Attempt #4

As the title suggests, this is the fourth time I've attempted the Atkins Diet. For once I am seeing progress! 

I've struggled with my weight for years. For the better part of my twenties I dealt with an eating disorder. I was down to 112lbs (50kg) and a US size 2 pants. And I loved it. I could wear all of the cute clothes that I was too big for in high school, and I felt really good about myself. 

Then I broke my ankle. Sometimes I think that is directly due to the fact that I was extremely malnourished. My bone shattered like a lightbulb and had to be surgically reconstructed. It was baaaaaad. My boyfriend swears it's because I stepped into an 18 inch (45cm) deep hole while walking full speed ahead. It was definitely a combo of both. 

Checking In

2020 has been a crazy year so far, hasn't it! 

With everything that's going on I wanted to take time to check in with whoever still actually reads this. 

Are you ok mentally?

Did you remember to take your meds today? Brush your teeth or shower? 

It's ok to not be ok. 

I suffer from depression and hardcore anxiety and I'm a recovering agoraphobic. It is totally ok to not be ok. Just remember to take care of yourself, even if it's the smallest acts of self care. 

If you need a friendly ear you can always leave a comment here or find me through one of my other social media platforms. We are all in this together!
