reasons I choose recovery

I am still at the stage of re-recovery that I am often having to make a conscious decision to allow myself to recover.  Only someone who has been here can fully understand that comment.  The past couple of weeks have been difficult on the recovery front from a physical standpoint.  Mentally I am hanging in there, some rough days but handling them better than I would have even 2 months ago.  Physically though, I just don't feel like eating.  It just feels like so much work.

The scale numbers that had risen have dropped again.  I want to be motivated and I am so not motivated.  I'm tired.  My medicine cocktail helped at first and now I am back to exhausted all the time again.  I'm also back to being severely iron deficient and my thyroid is wacko again as well.  I know that plays a huge role in why I am exhausted.  I'm just tired of being tired.  I'm tired of being too tired to care whether I eat or not.

So tonight, I am making a specific choice to pursue recovery.  Tonight I am going to focus on reasons why I choose recovery!

being able to fully enjoy silly things like the water mark left by my coffee cup that I could never intentionally create!
