Jen,
First of all, I'm sorry that you aren't sleeping well and have various ailments bugging you, but I applaud you for laying it all out there to make yourself accountable to make change.? I hope you have WRITTEN in your cycle appointments on your calendar for three days per week, and that you will hold those times sacred for YOU.? If you have not, I am urging you to, because they will not happen if they are not given the same priority as those appointments that will otherwise override the Jen time.
Second, you CAN do it ... you can feel better and less stressed walking around in DC ... I don't know if the dress is a realistic goal or not as I know nothing about it, but I suggest you HANG IT UP where it is visible to you first thing every morning, and the last thing you see every night.? Whether it is in DC or not, You will get in it.? And, you will look fabulous.
Third, these shorter term goals will help you to achieve that most incredibly goal of being comfortable on the beach in CUBA (!!!!) for your 25th anniversary.? And, let's face it - the reason you will be celebrating your 25th anniversary to a great guy is because he can diplomatically refer to your fashion as your ¡°middle aged Carrie Fisher look¡±?and still be alive.? He says it with love.? It could be worse - what if you weren't a Star Wars fan?!
Please hold yourself accountable here for your three weekly cycles - they are important and must start now for all of the above reasons.? You can do it!!?
