Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Caren, This is amazing news! Congratulations! You deserve to be happy with yourself right now, and everyone else here deserves the same. Congratulations on fully living your life now, not waiting for something else to happen before living. I didn't know Nia was still around, that's awesome! As an instructor, you'll be able to inspire others to accept themselves. If I remember correctly, Nia is centered on the mind-body connection, right? Did you take a May workshop, or have you read the book? I used to facilitate her workshops, that was a lot of fun.

This is amazing. My weight is higher than 'I think it should be.' But lately when I look in the mirror I have a hard time feeling fat. I like what I see!!! I think maybe I've accepted my body the way it is! I went to the doctor and she says my weight is fine! It's the high end of 'normal' for my height but I've always aimed for the low-medium range.So, I'm not doing this to hopefully loose weight one day anymore. I'm happy the way I am. I'm 56 and I think I look great for my age! I don't need to loose weight. I'm very knowledgeable about nutrition and like to eat right so I feel good. I have an exercise that I love (Nia - www.nianow.com and I was certified to teach it last summer!). And that's really all I should worry about. May MD says 10% 'fun food' and so what if I have days where I eat more than that!This is a feeling I haven't had since I was a kid. I don't have that lingering voice in the back of my head saying I should loose weight! Wow!
