Getting a job in NYC (WALKING sooo much) and being too busy to eat a lot is what did it for me. Granted, I didn’t NEED to lose the weight, but I was uncomfortable with being the size I was. Now I feel more like myself. I’m hoping to keep it off by incorporating more structured exercise into my life. I’ve also found that certain foods just aren’t attractive to me anymore… I just don’t want to eat fast food! I’ve learned to eat until I’m full instead of eating until I feel like popping. So far so good!

And I’m loving every minute of it. Yes, it’s crowded, and loud and dirty, but it’s the greatest place in the world to me. And I get to be there 2 days a week. It’s amazing. I LOVE New York, and I never thought it would be so amazing.
So I’ve started back on my path, simply by remembering the divinity that I feel is around me. Meditation is next- this week I hope to get a few spare moments to sit, be quiet and become one with the world around me. From there I hope to move into more energy work, and ultimately what I want to do is develop a solitary tradition that works for my family- something I can raise my children in. I also plan on bringing my spirituality into my home more readily. I want to set up a household altar in the entry way, to become the center of our home… we’ll see how that works out.
