It was a brilliant joke.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Okay, now its not the first time you're saying this.

Who ARE these people????



Seriously though.

The common sense thing is a huge issue in my house rite now.

We've even been praying about it.

I really agree with what you are saying! For the first time in my life I'm gaining weight and I have never appreciated the amount of sacrifice and denial it must take to keep one's weight in check. The mere thought of not gorging myself makes me depressed! But now I'm beginning to contemplate working out for the first time ever. I have gained 12 pounds in the last few years and for me that is a lot!. It would be one thing if the weight were evenly distributed but I still have a skinny chest and little bulgy sides and it's sending me into the mental hospital Oh well, Carrie's right. Gotta be happy with who and what you are. If you can change it, great, if not well that's gonna have to be great too.

I swear to God.

Long boring response in 5 4 3 2.....

I'm doing this book for my womens group rite now. Its about how to give your faults up to God for him to take care of instead of relying solely on yourself to do it.

And in the workbook it tells you to pick one major issue that you would like to work on and have changed by the time your done the book.

And Common Sense was what I picked.

We seriously fite about it ALL.THE.TIME.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

She's right, but that will never be me. My mom accuses me of having an eating disorder. I'm like, "Mom, what anorexic do you know that eats pizza and chocolate ice cream?"

I really wonder if I'll ever be happy with my body. I'm mental like that.

co-

my sides hurt

TotalANXiousNESS said:

OK, for real. The Christian Church telling people not to love themselves or to rely on themselves is just ridiculous. I mean how evil was Whitney Houston's Greatest Love of All?

I used to have this chick in high school and this would be the scene:

*me sitting by myself at a table by myself unpacking my homemade lunch*

Hey Richard, I bought you lunch.

I already have my lunch. See

Oh no, I know you are sick. You need to eat.

But I'm eating. Can't you see my lunch!

Well you need to eat more. I know you're anorexic. You don't have to be afraid to tell me.

And with that she would plunk down whatever she thought I should be eating and would sit there until I ate it all. I did everytime. But she still thought I never ate!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Oh Richard.

Its really not saying, don't rely on yourself at all.

Its just saying you also need to lie down and let God work within you also. Because by relying ONLY on ourselves, we are sure to stumble, and not be using Gods will.

Of course, relying on yourself, isn't EVIL....but they're saying (the book) that, it's a sure way to lead to disappointment.

Its also saying that, not having success, rite away , is OKAY.....and should be expected. Just to leave it to God, and not stress, is all.

Besides.

I've already surrendered myself to the fact that its gonna take divine intervention to give me common sense.

Quit stealing my thread topics.

Thats awesome, that that is how you feel.

I could NEVER be like that.

Its a curse.

JustErin said:

she's just riding your coat tails yanno

EverSoulicious said:

Oy.

I seriously fuckin hope not.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I can subsist on very small amounts of food. I don't eat much at all and people always ask me how I can stand it. I just don't eat if I'm not hungry. Why am I still fat then???

TotalANXiousNESS said:

I was talking about you riding erin's coat tails

hokie1 said:

If you never eat, your body is fighting back! The body will store fat if it's not nourished properly. As a way to survive with less

EverSoulicious said:

Oh!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I do eat, just not very much at a time. I swear if I could afford it and my husband wouldn't have a total fucking hissy fit about it I'd lipo that shit out of there so fast....

TotalANXiousNESS said:

You always look good Dani. Try to change the mental image you have of yourself.

When I was skinny I ALWAYS thought I was fat . And now that I am, I don't see my self as being as big as I am till I look at pictures

If you really feel like you are out of shape work out.

I have noticed I feel better physically and mentally.

EverSoulicious said:

You're rite.

I do feel better when I work out.

I haven't woke up to go walking for like the last week and a half, so thats probably a big part of it.

hey pudgy, post a pic and let us decide...

























completely j/k

TotalANXiousNESS said:

So far it's the only thing I have found that is helping with my depression

Start walking again, I bet you will feel as great as you look

TotalANXiousNESS said:

maybe not conscientiously
but that's okay.

i brought a bike home with me two weeks ago and i've been on it once
not sure why but the routine i was in a year ago just isn't coming back.
i keep putting off getting my passport because my vain self wants to be thinner.
i said that 10 months ago.

only other point i wanted to mention is that you don't have to have anorexia to have disordered eating. my eating couldn't be more disordered but i sure as hell don't fall into one of those eating disorder categories.

i need a kick in the ass i guess. scheduled bike rides, alternating with trips to the pool/weight room. and actually having food in the house would help

emm said:

Well I think a lot of women have body distortion issues.

Not all of these girls are anorexic/bulemic. Thats a mental illness, that more often than not, has not much at all to do with body image.

So, I think your way of thinking is pretty normal Emm.

Dude, don't they just take your picture from neck up anyways???

TotalANXiousNESS said:

I'm convinced I have body dismorphic disorder.

I am curious...what is everybody's idea of fat?

MoniGram said:

I don't judge for other people because like I said earlier I think we each have our own idea of what "fat" means to us. I think everyone is different and we have different weights that we're comfortable at. I just don't really like what I weigh right now, how my clothes fit, or how I look in them, so for me I weigh too much right now.

Although, I also said that I don't think I'll ever be happy with my body.













That's an issue I have--a bad one.

MoniGram said:

20lbs over ideal body weight (which is different for everyone) is fat, imo.
