Daily Food Diary – Day 198 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025, Health and Fitness

It is 198 Days since I started my Daily Food Diary!

It is 3 and almost one-half years since I started living a lifestyle focused on my  Health and Fitness.

The quality of my life has improved exponentially in this time.  One thing that I have been particularly grateful for is a marked decrease in my anxiety – something I have struggled with throughout my entire life.

That being said, in the past few months my anxiety level has been creeping back up there.  I have several coping strategies but sometimes they just don’t want to work!

This morning I took Molly on a walk around the neighborhood, by myself.  It was hardly the first time.  But,  I have been walking her alone – knowing Dan was at home and available if anything went sideways.   This morning, Dan was not home.   It was truly Molly and I – no backup, if required.  

I’ll be good!

I got about two feet out our gate and down the sidewalk before my anxiety went through the roof.   There was no way, I was turning back  or taking any shortcuts.  

We finished our route with no major incidents and I felt fine as soon as we got back in the yard.    I will take that as a win,  and hopefully it will ramp up my confidence enough that it will make our next solo trek that much easier.

I am so over this anxiety stuff!  It serves zero purpose and just makes life so  difficult.

  1. Well done, Anne, this is a matter of mind control. There is noting to fear. Imagine being in my situation where I live in a large city with zero family in the entire state! There is no spoon…

  3. I don’t understand debilitating anxiety on a personal level, Anne. I do know what worry feels like, but I don’t have physical symptoms like heart palpitations, shortness of breath, feelings of panic, etc. I truly feel for people who experience those things. Good on you for claiming it, naming it, and addressing it as best you can!

  5. I take it in stride, Anne. I love where I live… There is a huge thunderstorm moving towards my home just now, I love the sound of the thunder! Come on, rain!!

  10. Good for you, Anne going ahead and taking the walk with Molly without backup. . I have faith that the anxiety will get less and less until it is gone and stays gone. Your willpower is amazing. Hugs

  12. I suffer from anxiety too. A very unpleasant condition. Sometimes my tried and true methods work and sometimes they do not. I have tried to analyze it to see if it is something I am eating or not enough sleep or whatever. I never have cracked the code. Karla/Clampetts
