I know we as folks from time to want to lose weight now..I saw the Tyra Banks Show..there were people(Brainless) using tapeworms to lose weight I also saw this on (My boyfriends show) 1000 ways to die. The woman lost weight alright but the worm grew large had offspring which in turn killed her..and the woman on Tyra wanted to lose 10lbs?
I sorry I view it as insane they might as well play Russian Roulette.[eek][eek][rolleyes][rolleyes][mad]

One way to clean out the gene pool I guess....

Yep I agree turned on it the the other day women doing at home plastic surgery. injections two women almost died from a home botched butt injection..what is wrong with growing Old? And so what if you aren't perfect what about living for yourself not to impress others..looks don't last forever(via surgery..One comeidan said with all the plastic surgeries will we be told old to remember what we had it for!(a bunch of dumb young looking old fogies.

K guys this is not the same thing but it is. QUick question I'll just say I have a eating problem. I was rasied around a mom who was always saying she was fat & putting herself down. Will I'm now that woman. I hate myself one day & say I love myself the nice normal just to make people think I'm happy. My junior year goin into my senior year of high school I said having a eat disorter. Now I got with my great bf Brian he found out & scared me to death with talk of death & stuff like that. So I stopped & of course the wieght came back. Even when I was sick thin I said was fat cause thats way I saw. I know Im bigger now cause jeans dont fit. Anyways I same what started my eat disorder again. My bf doesn't understand that it isn't me wanting to think I'm fat is just what i see. Will I did a card reading last mon & it pretty much hinting that now Im fixing a problem the wrong way & it will come back to bite me in the ass & I think this is it. So I've tried my hardest not to do it with fear Ill death. I do yoga in morning, run in the evenings & eatting not to much. But I just want to fix myself before I have kids & infected them with this to. HELP If U can. I wish I was like the other woman in this world who just love themself no matter what sizes.

Hey I saw that 1000 ways to die episode too. EEEEWWWW I thought that they were just making things up for ratings. lol I guess not. Its just as crazy as injecting botchulism into your face to get rid of wrinkles. "I can't feel my face and have no expressions, but got rid of those nasty wrinkles." lol

I too have a hard time with weigth gain. Does anyone know of a pagan based weight loss program/book? There are all sorts of programs out there....if the Christians can have their faith-based programs, shouldn't we have our own? Or any ideas would be great. My walking buddy/sister witch and I are both victims of childhood sexual abuse and we are striving to release that crap. A belief of sexual abuse victims is that we gain weight so that men will not find us attractive so therefore will not want to be intimate (or abusive) to or with us. We both now know that we can be looked at and be fine with that but...so many of us with emotional eating problems find dieting hard, in that there is not a lot of spirituality imbued with many major weight loss programs.

Any help/ideas would be great.....blessed be )O(

I have that comfort eating issue, too. I was date raped as a teen. I find that yoga and bellydancing are great releases of all the crap. You can get DVDs so you can be inside and noone has to see you, if you are self conscious. You need a strong support system to help with motivation, but once you get in the routine, you'll feel so much better. As far as diet, it is good to start off slow. I find as soon as I say I'm gonna go on a diet , all the bad food that I should avoid eating becomes "manna" and must have it. I find just cutting back on portions and limiting junk food to moderation should be helpful. That's what my mom does and she is far from fat. Yeah my mom and daughter are skinny little sticks. It skpipped a generation. lol.....I'mly 30-40lbs overweight and I'm waiting to go over my parent's house and see an entry form for "The Biggest Loser." lol... seriously, though I got some advice long ago that helped me get past the crap. When you are out and about don't hang you head down and feel all sad, even if you are. Try to give the image, vibes or whatever you want to callit of a strong, confident and vibrant woman that doesn't take crap, or if you feel threatened try to focus on a protective animal energy like a wolf or a tiger or something equal to that type of energy. If you usee "predator" energy of the animal it will diminish the "prey" image that was put upon you when you were victimized. I know I did a lot of rambling, but that's the ADHD talking. I hope that yopu can make sense of my ramblings and come away with some useful information.
