A year has passed since I got sick and the doctors found my pseudo-cyst... Exactly a year ago I celebrated Thanksgiving at home in Bloomington (instead of Colorado, as originally planned) weighing 125 lbs after being in the hospital for a week. This year I celebrated Thanksgiving at 138 lbs and I've never felt stronger or healthier!
My normal weight was 131 lbs, always careful not to go over and always trying to loose a few pounds... Since I started yoga 10 months ago, and after practicing an average of 5 days a week, I've gained 7 lbs and I'm ok with it. I am finally at peace with my body and this is huge, after torturing myself about it since I can remember. We really are too hard on ourselves being bombarded with ads and images of what we should look like and nobody looks like that (unless you have photoshop or surgery).
I choose to have an actual ass, strong legs, and no boobs. That's how I've always been. And I choose to practice yoga to look, feel, and be strong and I choose to not compare my body to others'. We are, thank goddess, built differently, and this is who I am, so deal with it. I have.
