Grateful for my copilot via /r/gratitude

My husband has taught me so much about myself since I met him simply by paying attention to me. He notices my habits before I do. He notices my patterns before I do. I have never been around anyone like this before and yesterday my gratitude for him being like this got up to an all time high. He helped me realize that my recent change in the food that I’m eating might be the cause of all of the new pains that I’m having. I was plant based for a few years due to process of elimination, until 3 weeks ago I decided to add fish. I don’t eat anything processed besides the occasional peanut butter but I learned that I can’t do that anymore because of how it affects my heart. Not fun. The last time I tried to reintroduce meat into my diet I had a lot of the same symptoms that I’m experiencing now but this time without the stomach pain. I guess that’s why I didn’t think of the meat being the cause because my stomach has been fine. I was really excited thinking that my gut was healed enough for me to eat meat again. So I went to check my journal and sure enough, I wrote it down. All of the same things that I’m going through now happened back then. Muscles feeling like they’re sticking to my bones, sadness, crying all morning , hopelessness, ruminating…. All of this is not like me. And before, when I went back to eating plant based the pain and the daily emotional roller coaster rides went away rather quickly. I totally overlooked this for some reason. It comes on so gradually that I think I convinced myself that it had to be something else. But today I’m going back to plant based just to see how my body responds. I’m feeling grateful for so many things in this moment – for him loving me enough to pay attention, for me deciding to start journaling how I felt everyday, for me tracking all of my food, for tracking my stats like blood pressure , weight, heart rate, hrv, and for my body speaking to me, for the hope that this pain stops and I get to continue doing my workouts, for the learning that I’m going through in all of this. I’m grateful for the journey that I’m on and that my husband is my copilot.
