Openning my eyes...

Yet another eye opening weekend. Looks like I do my best thinking when I don't have to.
I guess the first thing I realized this weekend is that everything doesn't look so bad when you are feeling good. By this I mean both  physically and mentally. I have been battling a cold for FAR too long now and this weekend I finally started to feel healthy again. I hadn't realized how much the cold had been taking out of me until I wasn't coughing and sniffling. The second thing that really hit home is that when you're mentally feeling good, everything just seems to be a little easier. I have depression and had stopped taking my meds thinking that I did not need them anymore. Turns out I still do need them as the last little bit has been quite a struggle for me. I started taking them again after noticing that I wasn't feeling myself and my boyfriend had noticed a change in me. Shockingly, I feel much better now that I am taking them again. Lesson learned - it's ok to need a little help. I am not invincible.
With the ideas that I am not invincible and it's ok to ask for help in mind, I told my boyfriend how I had been feeling about my body image of late. I told him truthfully that I was struggling with both my weight and how I see myself when I look in a mirror. After telling me that I am beautiful both inside and out, he asked what he could do to help. I told him that I wasn't sure unless he had the ability to either a/ get in my head and change things around or b/ change how people see each other. Hmmm seems that he is unable to do either. Dang...
So what to do from here? I think that's the whole purpose of this thing isn't it! So  had best get to some reading and self-work and I'll let you know how it's going.
XOXO
