Much better!
I'm feeling SO much better today! I had a great eating and exercise day yesterday, which really boosted my self-confidence. I also talked to my fiance about the wedding and we decided to cut our guest list, which will give us more to spend per person on the reception--makes things MUCH easier to navigate!
On the assertiveness front, I talked to my doctor and told her I was upset about the appointment. She's sending me to talk to an oncologist who will be able to explain my situation and discuss some of my preventive treatment options. I also talked to my boss and told him that the additional workload was simply too much. The old me--the people-pleasing me--would have gritted her teeth, been miserable, and taken the work, but I'm doing my best to turn over a new take-care-of-Jen leaf.
Thanks to everyone for your wonderful comments and emails--I'm headed off to a meeting, but I will check up on you this afternoon.
It's almost Friday!
Jen
