"Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts." Arnold Bennett

It has been a tough week for me. I had a heavy school and work load this week, and it has taken a toll on me physically and mentally. I caught a cold and am finally getting over it. I find myself eating more than usual, especially at night at the restaurant I work in which should be avoided in my case because of my history with emotional eating. I know I will get back on track with my exercise routine and with eating regularly instead of emotionally like I had done this past week. It is a never ending battle for me, but I remain positive no matter what kind of week I have had. I know there are going to be days in life where at times I will feel down, overwhelmed and aggravated with what may be going on at the time. I also know that I am strong enough to overcome these feelings with my optimistic side. Like my title states, even though I have changed for the better, it was a long road to get me here and at times there will always be some drawbacks and discomforts, but it is a new day, a new week, and I am feeling better already.
