you're welcome, and I am out, goodnight I really wanna say "I will be praying for you" because I hear that so much, but I'm atheist... so I guess all I can say without contradicting my beliefs is, good luck
size 3.... I'll never be a size 3, giant hips good for belly dancing though. I'm currently wearing a size 14, biggest I've ever worn. I know that saying a size 3 is super skinny isn't gonna be the solution though... maybe Ducky's on to something with this counselling dealio. I mean, maybe you aren't full blown anorexic now but you aren't being particularly healthy with your body image and self worth (and you know it). Everyone has issues with their body image, but when it's bad enough to deprive yourself of food instead of just eating healthily,well, that's cause for concern
Penny, I have read a number of your posts here on the forums and I have grown to appreciate your personality; I like you. Upon reading these posts here in this thread I felt that I needed to come out of my "hibernation." I do not know your inner thoughts but you do. Our minds are automatically trying to adapt, our minds are trying to solve problems, this is why we dream. Many times our minds take a roundabout path or route to solving problems; we are extremely complex beings with "layers upon layers" of "thought structure," this is what makes our personality, this is what makes us who we are. You are dealing a psychological issue whereby your sense of body, or your impression of your body, is involved but this is not the source of the problem. Hypothetically, give your the "surface" of your body different psychologies and there will be a great variety of responses most of which will not include anorexia or similar. In short, your problem is not your body and you will not solve your problem by dieting or fasting. You are in pain, or what can be characterized as "discomfort," and you are trying to heal, you are trying relieve that pain. I have had much experience that tells me that converting pain, or converting discomfort, to good is a very important part of life; many people do not consciously comprehend this but it is non the less real. Mediation is not easy as many people believe, high forms of meditation accelerate what we are already trying to do which is to solve problems. I have found that our minds often halt "dynamic thinking" and become static or "mode-locked" from fear about what we think the answer to a particular question that we have is; this is most often not a conscious event, it is most often subconscious, but we can easily see these things through relaxing and watching, or observing, our experience; by watching our thoughts and feelings. See this post (was one of my first posts here), I am trying to explain this to a kid who is being teased at school. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98410&page=2&pp=10 Love, David
Thanks.. David. I am not hungry anymore. Seems my stomach's getting smaller... that's good! But I promise I'll eat at least once a day, at least. I'm glad cause it's only been 4 days and my pants are getting big already, or I'm getting too small for them I should say, and Nick told me he could hold my ass in just one hand, so I'm very happy God I'm such a fucking idiot Please somebody hit me in the head.. gotta wake up
most peoples have different views of skinny... I think most would agree that Penny definently is not fat Penny, you can lose more weight eating more small meals a day, than you can eating just one big one... I don't know how big your meals are but keep that in mind..
