After my latest RA-related surgery I finally decided that I have to put myself first and am (semi) retiring in four weeks in order to focus on my health. Unfortunately part of that plan is weight-loss so I'm afraid I'm not only NOT going to be eating dessert first, I probably won't be eating dessert at all for a while. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-10375385303488188902015-10-16T17:47:53.256-04:002015-10-16T17:47:53.256-04:00I think it's great that you are listening to y...I think it's great that you are listening to your body. Although you are a little late to the party, go ahead and have some dessert. How do I practice self-care? Slowly. First I stop answering the phone. I send my close friends an email telling them I am "unhooking" for a while, electronically and my bra! It's pyjamas for a few days, tea, and binge watching Netflix, heating pads or ice packs, soft foods (yes, even my teeth and stomach rebel) and funny tv shows. The world will wait for me and yet somehow keeps spinning. Usually my energy slowly seeps back in...joints quit complaining and so do I. Life slowly returns to normal-ish and I get dressed again. Dessert is done and it's time to reconnect. Funny thing is, I am the only who seems to have noticed I was gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
