It is really mean what your head does there with you. Mixing your thinking about intelligence with your body weight. Donā€™t let you trick into such malicious thinking.

You know by yourself, that you are smart and also very active in sports and cooking healthy meals!

Havenā€™t been on TS for a bit. I donā€™t know why I tend to skip out for a while but glad I always come back to read others experience, strength and hope here. I was on here a lot in early recovery and should get back to this forum more often.
I have been kind of struggling with the loss of my little brother lately and just missing him. Missing being able to joke around. Daniel and I never once had an argument over one thing. It was always just words of encouragement and jokes. He was just a wonderful young man all around. Itā€™s rediculous how we lost him and only being 28 years old. Iā€™ve been contemplating on joining some sort of anti violence community outreach program to volunteer around here recently. Just not sure where to begin with that, any advice would be helpful. Thanks for reading, I feel somewhat lighter now.

I woke up to snow here, and now the kids are out playing in it, all togged up. I have the kettle on for hot chocolate for when they come back in.
This is the first proper day off in a couple of weeks, and it was a busy day yesterday with swimming and then the second audition for Macbeth for my daughter. When I saw my face in the mirror this morning I looked dreadful! But itā€™s a good feeling knowing that Iā€™m not hungover, just that I must have had a really deep sleep and it was taking a while for my face to wake up.
The main thing I have to do over the weekend is to pack away all the kitchen items ahead of the kitchen fitters arriving first thing Monday morning. Iā€™m also going to watch the football tonight as Iā€™ve always had a soft spot for France :fr:
Best wishes from Scotland :scotland:

Amazing!!! I remember when I first joined here you were one of the first to welcome me. I believe you had been part of this community for quite some time struggling with relapses but you kept trying and you were there for me when I needed you too. I started on here really strong and went quite some time without a relapse but then I slipped. You and so many other people were there for me and now today is my day 100. Point is-we did it we, we made it this far!!! I didnā€™t think Iā€™d ever get here and I want everyone to know you just got to keep trying. If you fall just get back up. It is possible. But for me it wouldnā€™t have been possible without you and so many others here. Congratulations and thank you Dana.
