Its been an incredibly busy Summer. I was hoping for something entirely different, but I guess you get what you get. For the most part things are a bit easier to deal with these days. I feel successful in many areas. I have fewer and fewer urges and the ones I have are easier to control or I can just ignore the feelings altogether. I have stopped gaining weight and actually have started to lose a little weight and I wake up each morning with a sense of vitality. I am finding a few areas a bit hard to deal with. Although I am now loosing the weight I gained its slow and a bit disheartening at times. There are quite a few Summer clothing items I have stuffed in the corner because its ridiculous to think I can squeeze into them right now. I also continue to have cravings in the evenings. Actually that is now the only time I have cravings. If its been a particularly busy day and I am tired and don't have the energy to get out and take a yoga class or do something physical I still have to ride the waves of longing, which at this point can kind of wear me down sometimes. As I continue to read about other peoples journey quite a few struggled continuously until about the third month, then many experience true relief. Alright then..... I'm far enough along to say that's just around the corner. So until then, lots of yoga, breath, meditation and I think a few trips to the lake are due as well.
Namaste everyone and be well.
