Hi Klara and Manymoons,

Thank you for your welcome.

To answer your questions Klara, my children are aged 12 and 3, and they are happy to eat healthy food, but they will continue to eat dairy products and occasional treats too. So the biggest test of my willpower will be avoiding the cheese and chocolate, which has always been my downfall. I don't know anyone else who follows macrobiotics, so I'm finding the internet to be an invaluable resource.

Thanks for your words of wisdom Manymoons, I see what you are saying and I believe that my consciousness will bloom with a more balanced diet. Part of the reason for me coming back to macrobiotics is a feeling that this is what I need for my meditation practice. I am feeling far more conscious of what my body wants, and it wants balance (and less weight).

I look forward to learning here with you and others.
