Stop focusing on the mirror, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Treatments will cause you to gain weight, that will go away. I know when I look in the mirror I think, "who is that person!" Love who you are.
I will sometimes get in the negative thoughts and it is so easy to get caught up in them. They will bring you far away from your goals. Stay positive, keep positive notes on your mirror, on your desk, in your car, anywhere you need to see and hear them. I have them in my office and on my phone lock screen.
If you are going through treatment right now, there is an end. You can make it. You will get your "diploma" for finishing your chemo or get the honor to ring the bell when you finish your radiation treatments. Some do not make it this far to finish and their bodies are overtaken with the disease. So take joy in your progress and in your victories!
Psalm 60:12;"with God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies."
Love to all,
