Weight loss and too terribly fat to have fun with my friends to get dressed
Posted by Erin on Sunday, July 12, 2009 Under: Always too Fat

Always too fat

Did you have a good day?

If you answered yes you don’t need to evaluate it too much… you know why you had a good day. Maybe you had ice cream with your favorite friend or you got an “A” on a report, maybe you got a promotion at work or maybe you just had a good day alone in peace.

If you answered no well… maybe it was a boring day or you felt ill. Or maybe you had a terrible breakup with your mate or an accident. These things happen and that’s ok.

We will survive the bad days and relish the good ones.

I know when I am unhappy and it seems that nothing is going right I have to change something in my day. Sometimes it can be as easy as listening to music or moving my furniture in my living room or going for a walk.

But if you are someone whose bad days outweigh the good ones and it is because you are always too fat or overweight, then a little personal check might be in order. It can be so hard being overweight you may feel self-conscious about the way you look. It may be hard to go out and feel good about yourself. You may struggle getting dressed and when you do feel reasonably good about yourself when you do go out, people are rude and unkind.

I believe beauty resonates from within and if you can’t be happy because of your weight, then you have to do something to change this. It is not an easy task if it involves the millionth diet we’ve been on since whenever. There is some hope… it is an amazing diet, a transforming diet that will not only take off the weight but will take you back to the healthy body you are suppose to have.

Please if you are overweight and want to find happiness in your life again go to iluvrawfood.com.
Cheers, Erin

Take a Closer Look!
Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and responded with. "I love you!" ? In a good sense--- this is good to do. You are accepting yourself and loving just you for being you! How much better could life get? Their is so much to look at from the outside. So many different people that have so many ranges of colour, widths and heights, etc. We are a kaleidoscope of people. Thank goodness because life would be uninteresting! If you live in the city look out your window and people watch. The different mannerisms these people carry are learned and inherited, it is amazing! The exciting part is these people have a story all their own. Each and every person should have a chance to tell their story. But first...the most important thing to do before you tell your story is... look in the mirror and say, "I love you!" You have come a long way in this world and deserve to get your story heard. Writing down your story, may make you soar or may make you cry. It might be difficult to type. It might send you away to another place for a moment. The key is that when you tell your story, the realization that you are an important person will be recognized. Look outside at all the people and you fit right in with everybody else. You are part of a human race and the universe. In a big part you are the universe. So go ahead feel like the universe and gain your own power, because I believe you can really love your self!Please feel free to tell your story! You can post it here! or Send it to runningmyspace@gmail.com

Our Winter Friendly Foreign -- Fruits and Vegetables

2008-01-09T20:44:00.000-05:00

Fruits and Vegetables contain important anti-toxins. They are welcome foods to our bodies. If your body starts to receive these loving foods on a regular basis, then internal cleansing begins. Our bodies are fighting with toxins every day. Why not help your system buy joining the fight!!! Feed your body well!

Two important factors:

Our bodies function better drinking water regularly morning, noon and night!
Always wash foods thoroughly, especially if it isn't organic---pesticides and insecticides lace these foods.

Discover If You Have A Wheat Allergy!

2008-01-02T11:45:00.000-05:00

If you have heart burn, indigestion problems or simply have an uncomfortable belly bloating. Maybe it would be a good idea to get tested for a wheat intolerance.

Introduction
Wheat allergy, often referred to as "wheat intolerance," "Celiac disease" or "Celiac Sprue" is a somewhat controversial topic. Some people claim that a true allergy to wheat is rare and that the symptoms that we know as wheat allergy symptoms are, instead, an intolerance to wheat proteins. Others claim that this intolerance itself is a wheat allergy. No matter which way you look at it, the bottom line is that many people suffer symptoms after exposure to wheat products. Whether it's an intolerance or an allergy, it's necessary to know what reactions to expect.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Steps
1
Step One
Familiarize yourself with the mechanism of food allergies. An allergy to food, such as wheat, isn't really an allergy to the food itself, but rather to the protein found in the food. Your body treats this protein as an invading foreign substance and creates antibodies to fight off the invader. This "fight" is what causes allergy symptoms.
2
Step Two
Be versed in the damaging proteins found in wheat. There are a few offending proteins in wheat, that is, those to which people are sensitive. Gluten is the main protein that causes symptoms, but a group of proteins called gliadin can cause allergy symptoms as well.
3
Step Three
Seek immediate medical assistance if you experience difficulty breathing or swallowing after eating wheat. Though rare, this can indicate a case of anaphylactic shock. You should also connect stomach upsets, wheezing, hives and skin rashes that occur after eating a wheat-containing product to a wheat allergy.
4
Step Four
Know that some of the symptoms of wheat allergy are very different than those of other food allergies. It's speculated that a sensitivity to gluten and gliadin causes damage to the intestinal lining, causing difficulty in absorption of nutrients. Other symptoms are significant and can sometimes have lasting effects. They can include: fatigue, anxiety, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, skin rashes, headaches, acne and possibly arthritis.
5
Step Five
Speak to your doctor about the advantages and disadvantages of a gluten-free diet. Once he has confirmed the diagnosis, he may recommend you eliminate all gluten from your diet. This can be a very difficult process since so many foods contain wheat products. Make sure to discuss ways to supplement your nutritive needs.

Bleeding hearts

2007-10-23T09:28:00.001-04:00

This is a wonderful picture and the flower is called a "bleeding heart". It grows in my backyard in early spring and thrives quite well in cool weather. You can see it sprouting sometimes as early as mid March. It comes in blume in April and lasts for about a month and a half if not longer. I think I've captured this particular blume. It really does look like a bleeding heart!

When I step outside and see the world this is what I do.

2007-10-22T14:53:00.000-04:00

When you step outside and see the world. Are you really seeing? I discovered the art of seeing through my photos and what I paint. I truly believe everyone has creativeness. Sometimes it is hard and I think they can't put it on paper. Sometimes your eye will hold a image that you have in your hands and other times not. It all depends on what mood you are in. It is all discovery! I discovered I had a talent for art when I was about 5 years old. My mother liked my paintings and she said I was a artist...I held on to that. I have been painting ever since. My craft has me painting some walls, and some stuffed in portfolios. I go through moments in my life where I can't paint and other times where I have to. It is somewhat therapeutic for me . I paint best when I am sad. I don't know why? When I am finished I feel good and it doesn't matter if the painting was a disaster or not I just feel better.
