yoga, pot bellies and flowers....

i am managing to do some advanced poses in yoga now....sometime i am not sure what it is but mostly they feel good. stretching out my tummy and then curling my spine i think is one of the best things i can do at the moment. quite often i find myself curving over due to shame of my developing tummy. people/specialists have always told me that when you put on weight generally, it goes straight to your tummy then eventually spreads out. to me the recovery from anorexia is not all about my weight, i don't know what i weigh and i like it that way.it is hard as you look down and see a little pot belly developing which is something i find very alarming. everyone says i am doing well, my medication is stable and that has helped, i like working and having something to put my energy into and i am trying to vary things up a bit. little steps.....

 this unusual autumn and now winter means we are still digging up new potatoes, have feijoas galore, have a few cherry tomatoes and strawberries and i have been picking daffodils, roses and odd flowers from the garden. its hard to believe it is june and the weather feels more like april. long may it last....

ok these aren't from our garden but i just thought they were pretty.....
