[QUOTE="memememeiii, post: 1859332, member: 150648"] Checking in. This past summer, I travelled and took two meditation intensives...attended two full week-long retreats, one of them silent. I can see the franticness in my mind is gone, to a point. It's a journey. Start where you are. You are always where you are. I ate green snap peas all summer, in the West, and then simply tried to be mindful of choosing healthy. I gave up on completely abstaining from breads and carbs. In the end, it appears, now that I'm on the ground and home again, I've lost 5 lbs from where I was in May. 199 lbs at present. I also learned that I have 'metatarsal march fractures' - my toes/cartilage have small fractures from the weight I'm carrying. My toes are breaking. ***. At least a friend told me she had the same, and once she lost 50 lbs, the pain went away. At least I have a proper diagnosis and not some out-there guess by a doctor. It was a Greek doctor who recognized this problem. "Soldiers have it," he said. So. I carry on. With less frantic energy. Quieter. Still frustrated, but progressing. Working on mindful thinking, mindful living. MM. [/QUOTE]
