DD, i'll tell why u look like me. i was 30 poiunds overweight, had thick glasses and was nerd supreme. i lost weight, had lasik for my eyes and thats it. i grew up being called Fatty by my family.yup thats my nickname 
believe me even when i was fat i felt as beautiful as i did today. what i did awy with was my psychological issues and spiritual pain, my insulation from life and started loving myself. that is it.no diet
no exercise.
i lost weight with the same food and moderate exercise ( brisk walk for 40 minutes ) that i had been following since my teens to no effect whatsover.
believe me, its true.
fat is nothing but an insulation to hide urself from life and the world. this is what i learnt from Louise Hay. her book is a treasure. if u ever chose to work on ur inside the outside will change correspondingly. AG, why such a bad ass pic
i loved the sailor one  Wheels, thanx for the compliment  Lexx, every time i read about ur health issues i wonder how u can stay so positive and post with such love.i doubt i could manage it .
u are a surpassor you are.keep it up  IP: Logged |

Thank you! Attitude will not fix my ills, but it does have bearing on how I view my life and take things one moment at a time and am grateful for simple pleasures and treasure living despite the ills I have had to and still deal with. I am stronger emotionally not weaker for it all. I can understand the pain and suffering of others having walked in many of the same or similar shoes. That is a blessing not a curse. Which leads me to comment on MS Hayes' attitudes and judgments of all folks. quote:

Thank you again for your kind words!
I will however in my case have to disagree with you on the above you said.
That may be for others, but definitely NOT in my case! Her reasoning for blindness and many other things I have experienced and things which I still suffer from...make out that I deserve the ills which plague me and that they are all in my mind! That to me is the same cold hearted cruel reasoning which others
have used to reject and persecute the infirm, deformed, disabled throughout time, saying sin caused their ills, or demons, or they were evil or cursed. Society has been very cruel to such folks, turning them out in the streets, executing them, torture and more.
Sure psychological/hypochondria/Munchausen etcetera are psychological, but many ills which plague folks are real and not deserved, and not the result of incorrect thought or a low spiritual caliber, all of which several here at LL have hit me with and looked down on me and my situation.
My fat and ills are not a way to escape the world, nor my blindness episodes and daily agony because of not wanting to see something as she said, or wanting attention, or avoiding living blah blah blah.
I love life! I embrace its simple pleasures despite my ills. I do not bring my woes up unless there is a reason; as when I want to make a point about something.
I did not choose to come into this world a hunchback, with club feet, ad other troubles, which I overcame, only to be injured in an accident 33 years later.So yeah, for psychologically induced ills, she has a point, but NOT true ills, injuries, birth defects, disease.  PS.You said: quote:
i wonder how u can stay so positive and post with such love.i doubt i could manage it .
When faced with adversity one may be surprised at how well they can deal with it! It is all in how one deals with it or not. Does one keep going ahead, or does one bemoan and give up?
Oh to be sure, such woes can drive one to the edge of desperation, the abysmal well of suicidal ideation....however when one climbs slowly back up from such, life becomes even more beautiful! As it is said, "when one hits that abyss of deepest despair, there are two choices, to die or to scream, I want to live! Then choose to live one's life!IP: Logged |

omg, lexx. i didnt mean to hurt you if i have. 
have u read hay' s book heal ur life.
actually what she had written about being overweight really applied to me though it took a good 5 years to see it.
i had deep subconscious rage, that uses fear as a mechanism to sustain itself. and fear leads to fat.
from what u are saying and what i have gathered from ur posts until now, is well u have been thru an unfair share of trials and that can leave anyone weblindeakened. my mom is one who has been fighting one illness after another for 15 years and has put on weight, she was very lean too.
i dont remember what she said about blindness but some other things in my case, acne, back pain, anaemia really did hit home.
i cant believe she actually blamed the illness on the person. no way any disability is a result of two things karma by which i dont mean punishment but evolutionary karma and other is mind pattern.
my opinions mostly come from the works of a metaphysician couple swerdlows. i have healed my obesity, which was a result of sever sexual abuse in prior lives and a way to protect myself. i have cured a genetic skin problem which was deemed incurable by just changing my mind pattern .
i know what it sounds like. Iqhunk introduced me to these practices.they have changed my life so much i cant believe.anyway sorry if i hurt you or anyone.
Love

I added more above!
No dear, you did not hurt my feelings.
I just wanted to point a few things out as there have been folks here who see me (and others who are ill) as a lower spiritually evolved person because of my woes.
As to MS Hayes writings, yes I read some and others who spoke much the same.
While those teachings have some validation for the psychosomatic ills, they have little bearing on the non psychosomatically induced or non emotionally aggravated ills.
A good quote to illustrate such thinking:
quote:
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"
That is my take on her and others who write in the same vein. She sees it all from a mind point of view, not seeing all sides.
She has only a hammer by that token and not a full toolbox to help folks.
Her hammer will not help all woes and ills.
As for anyone with a weight problem...
before assuming it has a psychological only reason, one should ideally be evaluated for such as Hypothyroidism, Adrenal insufficiency. Cushings, Polycystic ovaries, medications such as required steroids, and several other genetic and or hormonal issues.
Rule out physical causes before assuming psychological reasons. I have a great deal of trouble losing weight due to a few factors. I often consume only 3 bottles of Ensure a day as my meals, due to other problems, and that is only 750 calories a day. Add in a bit of yogurt and most days even when I can eat my intake rarely exceeds 1,500 calories. So my obesity is not the result of over eating.
I was however very anorexic in my early teen years, and had a 17 inch waist and a rib cage larger than my bosum, and knees larger than my thighs. That was an emotional issue! I starved myself and threw up to be thin, because I had always been a heavy child due to medically induced early puberty at age 8 and the female hormones they made me take, and thyroid troubles too. I wanted to be skinny so bad it nearly killed me!
I suspect that foolishness may be the root cause of my digestive and metabolism troubles now. Or caused an underlying preexisting genetic problem to come into being sooner.

Apologies for the segue into health related arenas.
However this thread is for getting acquainted with folks! So now folks know a bit about me in relation to all that and any who read my coming out posts at Soul Unions and FYWAA, will know more.
However that is not all or what/who I am. As one of my sig lines stated:
quote:
I am disabled but I am NOT my disabilities!

Lexx and Venus de India,you´re both wonderful people. And your words encouraged me a lot. 
Lexx,
I have the utmost admiration for you. You`re an unbelievably strong, wise and generous person. Venus de India, interesting how you lost that weight. REally without diet and exercise? However, you are definitely right in my case. I have needed that overweight for a long time to hide behind. And it`s not easy to let go of old, even if restricting, habits and thought patterns.
But I feel like the last year has been an important one for my personal growth; approaching this singer was one of these steps, to "come out of the hiding" so to speak.
To not only "observe" what is happening around me, but to "participate".
But you know what? There are never pics of an observer, are there?
And there haven`t been any pics of me for many years (or only very rarely), but it`s funny, from the moment on I chose to have these pics taken from me and kind of "publish" them here (and you know it has only been some days ago), several various people approached me and insisted of taking a photo of me.
