I seem to get this pollyanna momentum thing that happens and 'it;s all good' You said it much better! :) Briana

And yeah, so far in my life there's no where this has been harder than with body image stuff - hug to you for that. @Karen ~ Thank you ~ making everything feel okay is almost more than I could ask for, you are a sweetheart. @Julie ~ I have a feeling it's more of an ebb & flow thing than anything I could hold onto permanently, but I will definitely let you know if I come across away to keep it around! And you, too! Then we can bottle it for those really swirly, stuck days :) @Nona ~ Haha, took me a second and then made me laugh :)

Now, if you have any success hanging on to that feeling, will you let me know how you do it? I've experienced it before, it was incredible, and then... it was gone. And desperately trying to get the feeling back or wondering forlornly where it went only makes things worse. (And now I'm reallllly hoping this doesn't happen to you!) Here, here!

The rest of it too, but that was timely. Because even though I am grateful for where I am, I keep thinking that it would be really nice if I could move a little faster on the whole losing thing. Even though I know deep down why I am not. And that this weight really is where a big part of me wants to be. So thank you. You know, when you think about it, thinking that if I can be/do/have whatever .. then where I am must be what I've chosen right now, makes a lot of sense to me. I should really try setting an intention before practice. My meditation afterwards always turns into a nap, because my brain is so sleepy, but I don't see why I can't set an intention anyway.
