Went out to dinner tonight.
Eating out is my major panic attack trigger. Has been a problem of some type for about 15 years, worse the last 6.
I did pretty good. Wasn't really anxious (more amazing since an hour before I was feeling nauseated from bad period pain), ate more than my usual plain chicken, enjoyed it.
And in the past two weeks at work I've eaten cake and a muffin.
I know it probably sounds stupidly minor, and I've still got a way to go, but I've taken more steps forward in the last month than in years.

As a strikingly beautiful, 6-foot woman known for playing strong roles, [Gina] Torres admits many men are intimidated by her. "It's a drag," she says. "That's why I've always admired Christine Lahti, Geena Davis, Sigourney Weaver and Allison Janney, all women who in many ways have defied their size and showed the world how strong and capable and competent and beautiful they are, but also vulnerable."
