Welcome back!

Last weekend, I held a Harvest Party at my house.  I served the refreshments and dessert, and the invitees each brought a pot of soup and some bread.  I made soup and bread as well.  It was a huge success and we all went home glowing with full stomachs.

Today, I reflected on the fact that I never once thought “How many calories are in this?” or “Lordy, I am too full!”  No, because I’ve restored my hunger mechanism.  There once was a day when I could feel the food up to the top of my throat and to my ears.  It’s been a long time since that happened.  I’ve written about this in My Cats Have Seen Me Naked.  It’s always been my hope that my personal story would help others.

I’m so grateful for all my healings.  No, my body hasn’t gotten into a size 4, nor does it ever have to.  I’ve learned to love and accept myself as is.  It’s a huge relief after all the years of fussing and fretting about how fat I looked.  Completely unnecessary.
