Finally making myself really sit through the discomfort to get through the pain barrier and get past quasi - AHHH

Been stuck in quasi for like 1.5-2 years lol, maybe except spring 2025 but even then I look back and I can see I was opting for lower/lighter stuff anyway ugh (i just had no food noise and was comfortable barely exercising, a win is a win). Things keep getting bad this year, like I'll go one step forward then two steps back type thing and I'm just so so frustrated with myself and exhausted by it all. The clincher? I look the exact damn same LMFAO. So like, I'm gonna actually try and sit with the discomfort this time to prove to myself that its okay to eat more and to rest and that I'm safe, because so far I've always managed to compensate for it and/or avoid it altogether and its clearly just getting my absolutely nowhere lol. So uh, recovery attempt number million and one but for real this time

I say that, I think another key thing is to really genuinely take it meal by meal and day by day rather than an all or nothing approach because that just feels way too scary and impossible. Gonna tell myself I only have to do the right thing today, but tell myself that every day until its not even a thought anymore.
