Big Loser

I am in the process of losing weight- 25 pounds to date! It feels awesome.

Having cleared and released the majority of issues in my life that contributed to the weight in the first place, naturally I arrived at this point. (Though don't get me wrong: there is always more power to be reclaimed and things to release as they rise to the surface. Healing is not a destination, it's a journey.) Now I am in the deeply profound experience of learning to love myself and create new healthy, feel good outcomes for myself now that all my energy isn't going towards hiding from myself who I really am.

One thing I've noticed is that it is all about alignment. Because I am feeling aligned with my authentic self, there is no reason to overeat anymore. What a breath of fresh air!

You can substitute being fat for anything in this context: gambling, cigarettes, binge drinking, sex, getting high, or any of those other things we all have done to distract ourselves. It just so happens that food is cheap, legal and easy to get a hold of, which is why it's the drug of choice in America. Lots of us get hooked young: it's a rare 5 year old who has access to a pack of cigarettes and a fifth of whiskey to numb her mind.

Unless you are Drew Barrymore. But I digress.

I'm just saying: there is a light and it just keeps getting brighter.
