Goals to Set for Yourself That Don’t Include “Lose X Amount of Pounds”
Disclaimer: If you are struggling with disordered thoughts/eating, please see a licensed professional for help.

I’m sending you love on this gloomy Monday. I hope your week is as wonderful as you are! Happy (ish?) Monday! We have NO control over other people; what they say, what they do, how they interpret things you say or do. We can only control our own reactions. That’s easier said than done, but [...]
