Size 2 (as in 2 fat to bind)

In a nutshell, Mark gave me the lowdown today - if I want to bind more easily, I have to shed a few pounds, around five. I'm five foot one inch, and I wear a size 2. But I know he's right - there is extra "stuff" that I don't need, and yoga is also about eliminating what we don't need.

To be honest, it didn't bother me much at all. I know in my heart he is right. And for the past week, before he even said something, I have already been eating far less, motivated by a desire to really get proficient at Ashtanga and feel all the benefits, physical as well as spiritual.

I have nothing much more to say than that. It's kind of a lot to take in for me.
