Taking care of Me - both inside & out - single & not

I'm noticing strange differences about the way I'm able to take care of myself when I'm single vs. the times I have a partner. I have more time on my hands to do the little things like remember to eat well, moisturize and take vitamins when I'm on my own. At the very same time however, I seem to be more critical of myself and worry about my waist line more than I should. Silly deconstructive doubt - Is this merely a by-product of having too much thinking-time on my hands?

It's easy to doubt my abilities and beauty when I don't have someone there as a comforting reminder. I wish I could wave a wand and make this go away - but alas I left my fairy wings in a different galaxy.

Critical thoughts can push us to become better humans - constantly striving to overcome hurdles.... BUT it can also push us over the edge when it is applied to subjective things that are out of our control... maybe the goal for this week is to be aware of my tendency to look down on my physical appearance and instead apply this energy to improving my inside persona...
