Well I just wanted to show you how beautiful it is here with all the fall colors. I have been vegetarian for about a little over 6 days. It certainly has not been hard at all. I don't know exactly what they put in the food but it is amazing. They have this thousand island dressing that is vegan and I asked if it might have contained crack cocaine. They just laughed and said that crack cocaine is not organic. The first 3 days that I was here I was constantly sweating. One of the Swami's said don't worry it will pass. I just kept thinking I am freezing and I keep sweating. They told me my body is just releasing the toxins in my body. Apparently the fiber blend just wasn't cutting it with detoxing my body. Living here makes it easy to be a vegetarian. But the one thing is that it is buffet style. Its so easy to overeat. So I just make sure that I am using portion control. Everything that they serve here is organic and comes straight from the garden or orchard. The weird thing is that the first few days I could smell something foul coming from my body, so I asked why. What in the world did I eat. Swami M just said that those smell is the toxins just being released and that you are becoming more aware of what your body is doing. She also said that she can smell people that eat meat. I wanted to ask her if I smelled like chicken nuggets but I refrained from doing so. I replied that is disgusting and she just laughed. The weird thing is that I have not craved any meat. The first day out of habit I was thinking I need meat mainly for protein. But really the only thing that I have been craving is CHOCOLATE. I discovered in the tea shop that they sell dark chocolate so that made me feel more at ease. One of the other Swami said to me Hanna every person has a fat girl inside them saying you need to eat more. (I slightly got distracted thinking about the fat girl inside me and I was thinking about names for my fat girl within) What you need to do is tell your ego(fat girl) to shut up. You need to be mindful and aware what you are eating and listen to your body. I replied I think my body needs Chocolate! She said then if your body is saying it do it.

I feel as though my inner fat girl wins the battle almost everyday. Sounds like things are going well for you. I am slightly jealous of you:)
