Tipping Point: the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point…how little things can make a big difference. Malcolm Gladwell

I wrote > here < about a point in recovery where I could go either way, a precipice. It’s my own tipping point – and in the past it’s been my breaking point.

Thus, an un-healthy tipping point.

These are crucial moments where every single thing I do counts…

I’ve decided to focus on things that may bring balance into the equation, level the playing field. 

There are so many areas in my life that need improving. Rather than falling back on an eating disorder to make me feel better, I will focus on my health: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

*Accepting my body, not fighting it.

*Spending Less on Groceries, not buying less groceries.

Don’t go there. Not really Kombucha. Loaded with sugar. I gave it to my mom.

*Focus on my growing relationship with God instead of my growing body.

*More looking to Him, not other people. <—

Especially about what to eat and not to eat.

Each day is full of opportunities to choose to live better -and feel better!

This could be my HEALTHY TIPPING POINT.

Who knows? Maybe my skin will clear up. Ever wonder why my face is red all the time? Rosacea.
