Share Your Thoughts On This

I received this in a group I am in and decided I would share it after you read it let me know what you think....

What If?
What if fat was healthy because fat people had some cushioning and some reserve food stores to live on, and skinny people were said to be putting themselves at risk, and stigmatized for making this stupid health decision?
*
What if people went up to skinny girls in the street and said "Oh, you’d be beautiful if you’d just gain weight!"
*
Or "You’re thin, but you’re beautiful on the inside!" Or looked at me like I was in some way sick and disgusting?
*
What if all clothes below size 10 came in girly pastels, with the reasoning that small women are underdeveloped and childish?
*
What if they were called ‘minus sizes’?
*
What if thin people had to go to special stores to buy clothes, because none of the regular stores wanted to stock clothes for them, saying that they’re disgusting and their patrons wouldn’t want to look at them?
*
What if all models were a size 16 or above, but every once in a while you’d see a "minus size" model in a size 8 cut to make her look larger?
*
What if "too fat" wasn’t the greatest thing, because it was acknowledged to not be terribly healthy, but the models who were "too fat" still got all the modeling jobs, and they were told that they might want to lose a little weight but nobody took it seriously? And meantime "too fat" was infinitely better than "too skinny"?
*
What if thin people were depicted in the media as obsessed with exercise and starving themselves, and thus not sexually interested? And fat people were depicted as able to enjoy their food, and their lovers, with relish?
*
What if a TV character as popular as Friends’ Monica was depicted as once having been thin, not even unhealthily so, and she was the butt of jokes for that?
*
What if X percent of the American population was labeled "underweight" ?
*
What if food commercials focused not on low-fat, but high in nutrients to gain weight?
*
What if people said "I don’t understand what’s wrong with skinny people. All they have to do is eat! It’s not that difficult. They must be pretty stupid not to figure that out."?
*
What if there were no labels saying "Low Fat" but instead they said "High Fat"?
*
What if magazines ran stories on "How to Maximize the Glory of your Curves"?
*
What if 7-year-old girls, copying their moms, asked their friends "Does this make me look too skinny?"
*
What if magazines ran bogus ads for weight gain powder? And the ads said "Mary gained 25 pounds in 8 weeks combining a high-nutrient diet, exercise to gain muscle mass, and Product X"? And they showed a picture of Mary wearing baggy clothes to make her look skinny and waifish, while in the "After" picture she was trim and tan? And women looked at Mary, who didn’t need to gain weight to begin with, and say "If she’s skinny, I must be a stick" and started gorging themselves?
*
What if thin people had to pay more for clothes and underwear and almost no pretty bras came in anything under a size 40?
*
What if there was an operation to enlarge the size of one’s stomach or inject fat under the skin?
*
What if middle-aged women were admired because they had put on some weight after age 30 and young women were simply ‘too thin’?
*
What if kids made jokes like "Your mama’s so thin, she blew away
when I flapped my arms"?
*
What if people talked to thin people slowly on the assumption that they were like children?
*
What if thin people had to learn to be witty, because else they would be utterly ignored by the opposite sex?
*
What if studies showed that thin could also be healthy, not just fat, but the mass media only paid lip service to them?
*
This would be ridiculous.
*
Then why is the reverse still OK?

Reason~Season~Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant

~~How I Feel Lately~~

Broken
By Lindsey Haun
~~~~
Wake up to a Sunny Day
Not a cloud up in the sky
And then it starts to rain
~~~~
My defenses hit the ground
And they shatter all around
So open and exposed
~~~~
But I found strenght in the struggle
Face to face with my troubles
~~~~
When you're broken
In a Million little pieces
And your tryin'
But you can't hold on any more
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believin' in your self
When you're broken
~~~~
Little girl don't be so blue
I know what you're going through
Don't let it beat you up
~~~~
Hittin' walls ang gettin' scars
Only makes you who you are
Only makes you who you are
~~~~
No matter how much your heart is aching
There is beauty in the breaking
Yeah
~~~~
When you're broken
In a Million little pieces
And your tryin'
But you can't hold on any more
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believin' in your self
When you're broken
~~~~
Better days are gonna find you once again
Every piece will find it's place
When you're broken
When you're broken
When you're broken
~~~~
In a Million little pieces
And your tryin'
But you can't hold on any more
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believin' in your self
When you're broken
Oh When you're broken
When you're broken
When you're broken

Random Babbling

Well I read my horoscope today and it left me totally baffled it read "Someone enters your life who might be part of it forever. A new friend, lover or mentor -- the stars say that it could be any one of those three. Synchronicity happens when you let it, so keep an open mind."...Sounds like this year could be interesting..I was talking to a really good friend of mines we will call her Bridget we were talking about health as we usually do we have made a pact this is the year we take care of ourselves...I was tihnking about seeing if they have OA meeting online until I am able to make it to one..I don't think I over eat but I do eat the wrong stuff but I could be wrong..People always say well stop eating when your full well my problem is by the time I think i'm full my tummy hurts also I don't gorge myself on food all at one time I just eat the bad stuff through out the day and like I said in a previous post I usually eat the most when I am bored so I have been trying to find ways to keep busy so I am not so bored...Well I am off to read i'll blog more later...

Easy To Add On Hard To Subtract

As I was sitting here reading my email I began thinking something about weight and weigh-loss..Why is weight so easy to gain and so hard to get rid of it ? I swear I feel my ass & thighs spread everytime I see a commerical on tv or walk past the junk food alise at the grocery store lol...For some people its hard for them to gain weight and easy to lose it and then you have people who have a fast metabolism..I swear I have the metabolism of a freakin snail or a turtle..My family is a mixture of sizes on my Dad's side most of the women are as they in family call it "big-boned" lol...On my mom's side there are a few women who are "big-boned" maybe 2 at the most..my sister was always small that was until she got pregnant with my nephew then well for her there was no going back but she has lost weight from what i've heard I haven't seen her in a few years...I was a ok size kid until the inevitable happend I hit puberty lol and well you know the rest is history...But anyways back to the original topic I wish it was as easy to get rid of the weight as it was to pack it on..I had something else I wanted to talk about but for the life of me I can't remember what it was I swear that has been happening alot lately I have CRS (Can't Remember Shit) symdrome lol....I will remember eventually

A New Day

Well here we are the first post of 2007 and I hope to have plenty more...As I sit here and type this its 6:05 A.M I have been up for a couple of hours now.I feel like I have a lump of something stuck in my throat and its driving me crazy lol...New Years was pretty quiet here bf had to work and I didn't want to be out with all the crazies so me and Jack(Daniels) relaxed and enjoyed a good book....And for those wondering I had orange juice not soda....I hope everyone had a safe New Year Eve...I guess I should continue on with my story from a few nights ago when I left off I was talking about how MK(my boyfriend) mom always makes comments about his weight (which by the way he is at a fine weight for his height and eveything he is far from overweight) but in the same breath she sends candy and cookies home with him...Let me give you a little background on his mom she has always struggled with her weight after she had kids so after yrs of taking it off and eventually gaining it back a few yrs ago I think when she was 61 or 62 she had gastric bypass surgery they were worried about her because of her age but her Dr suggested that was her only hope ok so she has had the surgery and I think it has been 2-3 yrs since she has had it and I will say up front I love Mk's mother to death but it seems since she has had the sugery she feels she has the right to tell others how to eat all the while still stuffing her self full of junk food and sweets until she makes her self sick..Now I am not knocking the surgery or anyone who has had the surgery you all have more courage then me I will say that I am seriously scared of going under the knife for anything lol..MK's dad is a diabetic he is good about watching what he eats and everything but god forbid he has a treat she yells at him that he should't be eating that but if he says something about what she is eating she snaps at him "don't tell me how to eat or what to eat"...It pisses me off is she has this things of saying things to me when no one else is around but she will change the subject when someone comes in the room..she has done that to me a few times about my weight and things like that and I just tend to ignore her but I told MK there is going to come a day when she is going to say something and I am not going to hold my tongue and I am going to go off on her and she isn't going to like me anymore..Its like since the surgery she has to throw it in people's face that she has lost some weight and others are still struggling its like she thinks she is better then the people she used to be like (people struggling with their weight)...Well on to other things I have made some resolutions this year like I am sure most of us have I am going to try my hardest to stick to it

1.Eat more healthy
2.Put myself first more

4.Cut out sweets(candy,cookies,junk food)
