What a Difference This Group Makes!

For some reason, quite unknown to me, I woke up this morning holding water (my rings which are usually quite loose, won't even turn on my fingers) which has caused considerable pain in my plantar faschia (or is that fashcia plantar?) which means I won't be walking today. 

But the amazing difference is, I'm not bummed out (I'm not jumping from joy, but I'm not bummed out) or discouraged as I would have been before having all you precious folks there for me. 

First of all I know, thanks to your support and caring, I have had days and days and days of  healthy BOTT eating.  Then my reaction was a calm acceptance that this is simply some sort of glitch along the way to my goal weight.  I'm not experiencing that sense of urgency that this is a calamity because it has slowed reaching my goal weight a bit (Now that's a DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!)  I am seeing it as Mother Nature having a slow day so she picked randomly picked me to vent on LOL

Thank you one and all for being there.  Know that you make a very real difference and are truly appreciated.

Join me in having a serene BOTT day. 

Hi!
I just wanted to pop in and say "Thank You" for all of your inspiring posts.  You are such a positive and uplifting person.

Thanks so much for your kind words.  I believe it is vital for our success to both give and receive support - and you know what I've found is that it's impossible to give support without also receiving.  I know the support, caring and acceptance I've found here makes all the difference in the world to me. 

its plantar fachiitis, and what a wonderful excuse to take a day off from exercise!!!!!!!!
I wish I had a good one, no such luck so I was at the gym for my 1 hr run walk today.  Hope you are feeling better soon.

Thanks for giving me the right word - I felt betrayed by my body because it hurt so much worse this morning than usual  I am feeling better tonight I'm happy to say!   Yes, it is a fine excuse to not exercise guilt free - LOL  You have my permission to use it now and then   Thanks for giving me a chance to grin.
