Hey Jen! Yeah, I'm past the anorexia, but that doesn't mean I couldn't get it again. It was really weird when I had it, because I've always had more of a problem being over weight. But I also have an addicted personality, and you do sort of get a high from not eating.
I seem to do things to one extreme or another. Now I eat too much, including binging (but not throwing up). I'm trying to start yoga and meditation in an attempt to get control of myself. I got a really good book that explains all the positions of yoga and what they're good for. And there were lots of theories, mainly saying yoga could replace cardio exercise. It was very interesting and got me excited, but I have trouble starting things, even when its something I want to do. Just changing anything out of my usual routine can be really hard and stressful for me. But once I start, I usually stick with things.
The book also talks some about meditation and how it clears your mind of clutter. I have a bad time being messy and unorganized at home and in my car, so I'm kind of hoping it might help me on my outside clutter as well as my inside clutter. It basically says the whole purpose (of yoga + meditating) is to achieve a peaceful uncluttered life. I want that so bad! But I guess I'll have to start first.
