I had one of my favorite patients come into the clinic yesterday to sign something and I was at the reception desk when she came in. She said, “oh my goodness you have lost more weight. You are getting too skinny. I need to bring you more food. I should have brought you a sandwich today with the popcorn.” She has a habit of bringing me food every time she comes to see me. I have noticed that her treats started with cookies and cakes to now fruits and yesterday Skinny Pop pop corn. She knows I am trying to be healthy because I am helping her to try to lose weight and we have discussed this.
She is very kind and it was a huge complement. I reassured her I am fine. I did not tell her that I have not reached my best self yet and will keep moving forward since I am in this for life. That is ok.
This was a nice moment since it was unexpected. I am in the process of finding some life balance so to have a small win was very nice. You never know when they will happen. Look for the good.
