Just wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of myself. I had dinner out in a restaurant with my husband tonight. I have severe GERD & worry about eating foods in restaurants. But I took a chance and went out to dinner with my husband. I was very nervous about eating something that was going to upset my stomach. But I ordered something I love to eat and kept telling myself that I was okay and that I didn't need to worry about something that hasn't happened. I kept thinking about how if you perceive a situation dangerous or scary then your mind will react that way. I kept telling myself that restaurant eating was not a scary situation and that it is quite enjoyable. I enjoyed my meal tremendously. I even took the added risk of getting something other than beef. I was very proud of myself and very happy with myself. YEA ME!
Then for desert, my husband and I started a ballroom dancing class once a week. Tonight we learned 4 steps to the dance, the Foxtrot. I had a great time, lots of fun!
