Back when I first started deep breathing, paying attention to my body, and eating better, I used to talk about these moments of intense peace and calm I'd feel. I wanted them to last longer. Eventually, they did. But at the time, I tried to just look forward to the next one... collecting moments like I'd collect a treasure.Michele @ Healthy Cultivationshttp://www.healthycultivations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-46923795694382812332011-01-29T08:14:40.056-05:002011-01-29T08:14:40.056-05:00Glad you're feeling better and hope each day m...Glad you're feeling better and hope each day makes you stronger.

Like my normal is different than others and the calmness. <br /><br />I know my normal is different. You know it, too. I am a slow and steady loser. None of that 55 pounds off in 60 days. Yesterday I really experienced a calmness like you describe. I credit that to my being present mindset, sabbatical, but to my healthy journey.<br /><br />Yes, Sharon. Let's plan to work toward our targets of July 30 together. We can both get there. Thanks so much, my blogger friend for stopping by with a thoughtful comment even as you are still recovering. Have a great weekend!

That you can be a 'foodie' (a person who loves food, loves cooking etc) and just direct it in a different direction, as in, how can I make that the most delicious and most healthy food possible.<br /><br />I do think that those of us with 'food issues' can have that good attitude and have it tip over into disordered thinking. So there is probably a balance in there.debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-91881614036145515942011-01-27T22:28:57.595-05:002011-01-27T22:28:57.595-05:00No weight gain!

You are so right that one size does not fit all when it comes to weight management. <br /><br />The right balance will be different for all of us.<br /><br />I guess I agree with your statement. I am the food planner, shopper and cook in my home. That means I am often thinking about food and not in a negative way or in one that is causing anxiety.Tami@NutmegNotebookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734911958992997465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-14797614534809380122011-01-27T20:47:20.101-05:002011-01-27T20:47:20.101-05:00Hi Sharon,

Good job of fighting its evil effects! <br /><br />I think your statement has merit. But I'm not on drugs, so what do I know?

There is a difference.<br /><br />As far as agreeing with the thinking about food thing. I don't know. I really don't think that food is that much on the mind of food normal people. But, then, what you describe sounds like a move a positive direction to me. :)<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-14850732564249159972011-01-27T10:29:00.318-05:002011-01-27T10:29:00.318-05:00I sometimes worry my blog sounds opinionated, but ...I sometimes worry my blog sounds opinionated, but the purpose of a blog is for a person to explore themselves, so I allow myself to go where I need to go. I agree with that statement. :) Behind all my rantings, I was really just trying to encourage people to trust themselves. I am passionate about that message because I was one who would be swayed off course based on what others were doing. I finally learned to stop comparing myself to others. The problem if you don't do things "by the book" is that you get a lot of emails from experts telling you what you could do better... lol.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352490496472818264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-76022906662375652982011-01-27T09:50:47.146-05:002011-01-27T09:50:47.146-05:00Oh - watching the food network makes me want to ea...Oh - watching the food network makes me want to eat! You'd probably have guessed that:) <br /><br />Glad to hear you are recovering. And, wow, making great progress, it seems:) Yes, normal is unique for each of us. I realized after some comments on my normal post that maybe that word was not misleading to some who don't experience it like we do. <br /><br />I agree with your statement. I think there is healthy food-think. Like planning meals and snacks.Karenhttp://www.waistingtimeblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
