We spend so much time on diet and exercise, and the cure must come from WITHIN! We have to like ourselves; LOVE ourselves just the way we are RIGHT NOW - then the rest will take care of itself. The work must be done on the inside of us for it to manifest on the outside. I know that I personally cannot do this without God's help, and I am so thankful to have it.<br /><br />God Bless You,<br />Carole P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664614322133943133.post-8349175940407066142009-08-19T09:38:43.397-07:002009-08-19T09:38:43.397-07:00Just wanted to let you know I enjoyed reading your...Just wanted to let you know I enjoyed reading your blog on depression, you have such insite when it comes to people and life in general.

I answered "no". The reason for that is they are meaningless to me and have no power over me to start. I guess you might say then how can they hurt me in the first place then.

Recently I have been doing well but the weight has been coming off slowly. She sees me go to the gym three nights a week and bike ride twic a week. She finds it in her heart to tell me that in her opinion she does not think any of it is helping. I wish I could say it didn't bother me but it did. After I went in another room and cried my eyes out, I also ate like there was no tomorrow. I know it was wrong but what she said hurt and I reacted in a wrong way. <br />Any advice?<br />Karen TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664614322133943133.post-9836731585755664642009-08-08T09:15:56.829-07:002009-08-08T09:15:56.829-07:00Dear Mike and Fellow Bloggers

T...I so agree with what you have to say here, Mike. This disorder feeds on itself, literally and figuratively. That's why I thrive on being connected in some way to people who understand. To be accepted. To feel normal. To not be judged. I will always remember something I read. There are many worthy and important reasons to lose weight. But being cherished should not be one of them. People can be hurtful whether intentional or well-meaning. I was joking with a sister in struggle once that I was going to make a T-shirt that said, "Can't you just eat some fruit?" I think I could put in small print "Do you think you retain fluid?" I can't honestly say I believe there is a reason for everything, but if there is a reason for me to suffer with this, I believe it is to understand that I determine my value. Not the opinion of others. And no one can put limits on my life but me.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02541686775332464972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664614322133943133.post-58096665403888290132009-08-06T14:06:22.212-07:002009-08-06T14:06:22.212-07:00Crazy but sometimes allowing others to put me down...Crazy but sometimes allowing others to put me down it allows me an excuse to give in to my eating.
