It is SO good to be back!

My gosh! I have been such a horrible blogger these last few months, I do apologise.
The last few months of senior year are rather work intensive, and since I am graduating so early it has been particulary hard to handle it all. My "free" time has been imprisoned by my ever-intensifying community involvement (the Environmental Committee and divisions of Rotary Interact and Amnesty International that I am leader of at my school have been very active) and some rather big changes have occured in other aspects of my life. Alas, amongst all this emotional and mental ebb and flow my diet has been better than ever.
Fortunately, i have kept somewhat of a dietary journal that has followed me through my trip to spain(oh! just thinking about it makes me taste those frijoles!), my rather traumatic break-up(a dietary milestone in itself, I handled it very well and didn't even carbo binge! I avoided all cravings for an organic pasta stuff-out, for those of you with similar emotional eating habits you would know that is quite the achievement) , and countless stress/panic attacks from overworking myself.
But this is a very good time for me to be re-joining cybermacro. It has only been in the last 3 or 4 weeks that I have undergone some major lifestyle changes, and have finally learned the beauty in applying the MB philosophy to my life outside my diet. After my doctor informed me I was on the way to a nervous break down, I threw out some of the books, cut down my study hours, and actually started allowing myself some me-time. My stress and panic has greatly improved, I am a healthier,happier me. Who knew it would take only a few months to adjust to balancing my plate, but a whole 3 years on macrobiotics to allow me to balance myself?

Ah..well it is time for me to return to my work. It feels excellent to be part of the community again. My diet has kept me excellent company during the most intensive, trying months of my life thus far, and as I approach graduation I realise how much I owe what I eat for taking care of me all this time. All the energy and meals that has fuelled me through this rough patch, all the brain food for my tests letting me suceed and get out of school early, all the energy for my excercise that has kept me fit and happy, all the dandelion coffee with rice milk that has given me the ideal boost when working late into the night.
In 3 months I finish school(although until then I must prepare for all my end of the year exams, still a lot of road to cover before the end) and I also move back home to D.C. Since my parents will not allow me to go to college till I am 18, I will have almost 3 years to do what I please! I am even thinking about writing a book about living a healthy life for young people! Perhaps a comeback for Macrobiotics for the younger generation is on it's way I have heard vegetarianism is rapidly becoming more popular in the US, so that certainly is a start.
Gah, I said I was going, didn't I? hehe, well I am having too much fun.
Later days, cybermacro. I have a lot to update on, not to mention returning to the forums! I look forward to it. Hope everyone is doing well!
