Today my group leader gave me a life line. Literally. I have been feeling very unfocused and despondent and the scales showed it this week. She gave me a piece of string the length of my very first hips measurement, and it was a real eye-opener to see how many centimetres I have lost. She told me to hold onto that string whenever I start feeling lost in my emotions, and let that be my life-line back to my focus. It really did make me feel better, and it felt good just talking to her after class and being able to get things off my chest. It just showed me once again the difference someone who understands what you are going through can make on a day where you just feel like giving up.
