 | | Cheering on Eating Disorders | | by texxmezz, Mar 5, 2008 | | How many times have you cheered on a friend trying to lose weight, even when you knew the methods they were using were dangerous to their health? Recently I was asked to leave a dieting website for telling people to eat a balanced diet, and yelled at for not cheering on another person's weight loss on another. At what point do we speak up, and stop cheering weight loss done with unsafe and/or unhealthy methods? | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |

 | | Marching Into the Peace Corps, Pt 39: Getting Past the Emotional Fat | | by texxmezz, Sep 23, 2007 | | An advertisement and coupon for a national chain specializing in sizes 14 and up came in the mail the other day. I got excited and the realized I couldn't use it because I have lost nearly all the weight I had set out to lose. Instead of feeling happy, I was sad. How do you deal with the emotional fat image that's left behind when you're nearing your set goal weight? By using common sense and sticking to the facts, not your feelings. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |
