continuing the food thing

[Guest guest]

I once suffered with an eating disorder. Thanks

to lifestyle changes including ashtanga, I don't

obsess anymore. I've found--for me--that balance and

moderation and letting go are way more important than the

food itself. I've always loved healthy food but have

found that taking it to an extreme is harmul to me in

body/mind/spirit. Anything eaten with awareness is healthy. Eating

when hungry and stopping when full works for me, too.

Also we have different needs; we are all built

differently. Finding what works can take time like it did for

me, but as long as happiness and peace and health

ensue--it's good for you and your

practice.<br><br>Hydrogenated oils for me are a real disgusting thing that I

avoid.
