I think I spent like an hour and a half trying to express my thoughts on the matter and now that I’m trying to read my own post, even I have to read it several times to try to understand it 🙂 Sorry.
I guess in a nutshell, I really think that you are looking at things as if they are permanent or too dramatic. What you feel like now will change and what you look like now will change. Accepting that something is the way it is right now does not mean that it will never, ever change. But the change should preferably happen naturally, and not through force. If you force something, it will bounce back. The natural world always tries to get into equilibrium.
So just relax, love yourself, accept the feelings that you have and the needs and the desires that you have. Want food, love, sex? Great! Accept that, don’t try to suppress it or control it. You don’t have to act upon it, but don’t deny it or suppress it.
