Do you know what one of the best feelings in the world is, for someone who has struggled with weight?
Answer: clothes that are loose fitting!
Once I had reached a plateau in my weight gain, years ago, I refused to buy any more clothes, especially if it was a bigger size. I have been wearing the same four pairs of pants and half dozen shirts for probably seven or eight years—black ensembles badly faded and thread bare.
I hit another milestone this week, celebrated quietly, because in reality I am still overweight, but progress is progress. My clothes are just a small victory in this ongoing journey that feels less like a battle and more like a long walk home.
Processed food and sugar cravings are far behind me and I look forward to comfortably moving more as my body returns to me. Maybe I’ll finally try Pilates...take up yoga again. Lord knows I have enough loose fitting clothes in which to move freely, and man, does that feel good! 
I hope everyone is taking care out there. Be kind to yourself and those you meet. Take time, every day, to connect with Spirit and be fully aware and grateful for this eternal moment of now.
Peace.
