I've felt my control, my caring slipping today. I'm tired. I ate a little more than I likely would have, and then word of a tragedy back home tipped me over the edge.

But I've had a late dinner and my first ever Yoga lesson and I feel wonderful and I don't feel like eating anything.

They say "When your cup is full, stop pouring". My cup has not been full for a while and I've been filling it up with food instead of the things I really need. My spirit needs to practice meditation and my body needs the physical workout. I think this is going to be a good thing.

And my friend's husband paid for it because I baby sat his children for several days while she was hospitalised.

I feel very centred and balanced right now. I highly recommend developing a spiritual practice to help keeping the cup full, so you are not filling your cup with oreos.
