    According to Feng Shui as I understand it, a window is a passageway. While one is enjoying the bounty of a good meal, one would want a mirror to reflect bounty, rather than a window to let good energy pass through.

    I have to tell you that this is a really hard topic for me. I have been overweight my entire life, but in the last few years I have managed to drop 170 pounds (I don’t know how that translates to kilos, sorry) due to illness, and am now just chubby rather than obese. I went from a size 30 to a 12. I cannot get the idea that I am obese out of my head. I have been taunted, physically abused (an ex-boyfriend once grabbed my gut and twisted it, threatening me to lose weight), and embarrassed beyond belief. I am still uncomfortable with my body because I now have pouchy skin where the fat once lived. I find that meditating on my good qualities seems to help, but I will never, ever forget the sting of hatred against my body. I wish I could give you advice – remember that you are a good person and love yourself. I know that’s hard, but just hold your head high and move on. PS – Been to Wellington – the restaurant portions are huge and delicious. That can’t be easy, either!
