Some days you’ll feel amazing. Other days, despite doing everything “right,” your stomach will have other plans. This is normal. This is part of the process.
Progress isn't measured by perfect days. It's measured by how much kinder you've become to yourself along the way.
What Setbacks Actually Mean
A flare-up isn’t failure. It’s data. Every time your body reacts, it’s giving you information. The goal isn’t to never have bad days—it’s to understand them.
Gentle Reminders
- Rest is productive
- Asking for help shows strength
- Your worth isn’t tied to your productivity
- Comparison steals joy—your journey is yours
- Small steps count
You’re doing something brave by paying attention to your body instead of ignoring it. That awareness is the foundation of healing.
Be patient with yourself. You’re learning a whole new language—the language of your own body.
