A Muumuu and Mindful Eating

A Muumuu and Mindful Eating

Two packages arrived today. A very large muumuu from the Vermont Country Store and the book Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food from Shambala including a CD of guided exercises. The muumuu fits perfectly, a lot of very pretty fabric. I want it to be way too big for me. I want to make a quilt out of all the muumuu material I've been wearing lately.

Last night I went to a film and was snug in my seat. I am too fat to go kayaking. Doing yoga is tough because I can't sit cross-legged. I avoid seeing old boyfriends, any boyfriends. It is hard to exercise with this much bulk and even hard to walk very far carrying this much weight. My blood pressure is too high. Clearly, for my well-being, something must be done.

Goals for today:

1. Download Mindful Eating meditations to my ipod.

2. Clean up my kitchen.

3. Breathe deeply and eat slowly.

4. Decide on a exercise and do it.
