The week that followed was a series of small steps, each one a commitment to change. I started with my diet, swapping out the convenience of fast food for the freshness of home-cooked meals. It was a struggle, the temptation to revert to old habits ever-present, but I persisted, driven by the knowledge that this was for my own good.
Exercise was next, a daunting task for someone who had neglected it for years. I started slow, morning walks around the neighborhood, the crisp air a welcome companion. Each step was a reminder of the journey ahead, a physical manifestation of the changes I was making.
I kept in touch with Dr. Stevens, our phone calls a lifeline, his guidance a steadying force. “You’re doing well,” he said during one call, his words a balm to my doubts. “Keep it up, and you’ll see the results.” His encouragement was a beacon, lighting the path I was carving out for myself.
At work, I found a new balance, delegating tasks, allowing myself the time to focus on what truly mattered. My team was supportive, Karen especially, her quiet presence a comfort during the moments of doubt and fear.
