While I am healing and finding balance I am not painting or drawing. I've dropped most of my work on Steemit, and I am focusing on family and health.

I have had to develop a new routine for my diet and exercise that combats my sedentary lifestyle of researching, writing, and painting for hours a day.

Once my new eating and exercise habits are firmly established, I will be able to sit for hours painting and writing without harming my health.

Losing weight for me is about changing my reaction to stress. I overeat because I am stressed and I am aware of my weaknesses and can let go of my reactions.

I go to sleep and get up at the same time every day.

I walk and do my yoga at the same time every day.

I study at the same time every day.

If I mess up on my plan, I don't give up.

I bring my food to eat rather than eat the food I am cooking for other people.
