Dearest Magda,
I know you've had a particularly tough week not just with work pressure but also slipping back into old habits that you thought you'd left behind. I know you feel like this has been an epic fail on your behalf and deep down your disappointment is brewing
Magda don't be hard on yourself. Everybody has bad times, hard times, setbacks. The key is not letting it beat you but picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and getting on with all the good you know and instinctively do. Now more than ever, be kind to yourself, remind yourself how far you came and how you did it mainly on your own. Look in the mirror with love and admiration for both your physical and spiritual self. You know this is far more powerful and positive than other options.
DO NOT fall back into the old diet mentality thinking it is the answer. It's not and you know you've done really well without it. You'll do really well again. You know what has worked for you, take it and build on it so it keeps working for you.
When the negative voices try to take control, check in with yourself, your values, your beliefs and pick up where you left off. You are kind, caring, hard working and giving. Embrace your wonderfullness, leave your doubts behind and go and nail this beast once and for all.
Your best friend.
That was truly beautiful. xxx
