I'm trying to understand the mentality that says i will go out and spend all I can with a company that doesn't care about anything except the fact that i spend my money with them. Verses supporting a friend, co-worker, neighbor, friend of a friend that has a business.<br />
<br />
Why are we so against supporting each other? When a friend has a business, they become in your mind that PERSON, who wants you to buy something. You ignore their emails, or mailing get tossed in the trash... But when a company emails you, sends you a flier, or something you don't have the same reaction. You're excited at that 20% off birthday coupon and can't wait to get out and spend your money. When your friend offers you something similar its, no thank you. i don't want anything i don't have any $$, then post about how you just bought out such and such store...<br />
<br />
Yeah, we as entrepreneurs must develop thick skin. We have to unfortunately expect that the people we think will support us, won't. We know that folks will tell us,yeah i got you and then at the last minute turn around and say sorry i can't do it... Those will be the same people asking why are you struggling, I thought u had your own business?<br />
<br />
I know I can't support everyone that i know who has a business. (not yet anyway LOL) But when i go to make a purchase i'm way more focused now in my thinking. Well who do i know that sells, XYZ, before i go to a big business chain to shop. I may have to shop at grocery stores, because big chains have just about ran mom and pop local grocers out of business. But there are still some things i can go to, Local bakeries, local restaurants, individual crafters, DS businesses... directly to authors, or musicians to buy their product, cutting out the middle man... Sharing posts, creating reviews... there are a lot of ways in which you can support someone especially if you want to...<br />
if we can post pictures of items from big businesses, why cant we do the same for the local folks. they need the support way more.<br />

Until the year it all fell apart<br />
Friends a bright future<br />
and a strong love for the lord<br />
where her strengths<br />
2 parents that lifted her up<br />
guided her<br />
shielded her<br />
and then suddenly her picture<br />
perfect world<br />
was gone, all she knew was through<br />
<br />
started with the death<br />
of the greatest man ever<br />
her light, the one who tucked her in<br />
who she knew would always protect her<br />
<br />
followed by unwanted touches<br />
a race to get home<br />
to surprise<br />
the one joy she had left in life<br />
turned into screams<br />
and pleas for help<br />
that no one seemed to hear<br />
<br />
b4 she knew it<br />
no longer did she yearn<br />
to hear the words or sermons<br />
from her lord<br />
he turned his back on her<br />
when she needed him most<br />
she felt, her world her pain<br />
he surely could have changed<br />
instead he allowed the rain to fall on her<br />
and never again would her shadow darken<br />
a vestibules door frame<br />
<br />
Ran from home soon<br />
as soon her H.S. diploma was obtained<br />
her mother and abulea<br />
never being able to get through<br />
to the daughter they once knew,<br />
not knowing the inner hurts she was going thru,<br />
everyone blamed the loss of her farther<br />
for the new, distant, persona that became her armor<br />
<br />
years later<br />
shes on top of the world<br />
took that pain and used it<br />
to climb to the top of the corporate ladder<br />
never getting close to anyone<br />
brushing off all attempts at bonding<br />
at love, at genuine emotion<br />
a corporates dream<br />
<br />
but how long can the facade <br />
the mask, last?<br />

(Poem)<strong>My Chocolate Goodness!</strong><br />
<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>He walks toward me and</strong><br />
<strong>my heart begins to beat</strong><br />
<strong>I know he has what i need</strong><br />
<strong>and i cant breathe<br />
the thought of getting my fill<br />
is over powering<br />
im lost in a zone<br />
almost out of control<br />
before i know it<br />
he is here b4 me<br />
and i cant believe it<br />
its real<br />
my time is near<br />
reality sets in<br />
as i know that once again<br />
things will be get hot again<br />
steam boils over<br />
and over flows<br />
mouth waters<br />
and the clanging begins<br />
i wonder others can hear<br />
does he knows<br />
how much his selfless act<br />
just meant to me<br />
to love so deep<br />
to give me all he has<br />
does he understand the emotions<br />
that flow from me<br />
for the extacy he has provided me<br />
too anxious<br />
too much to take in<br />
i nervously open what is mine and<br />
smile<br />
inhaling the intoxicating scent<br />
its more than i remember<br />
a high unlike any other<br />
licking my lips<br />
i watch as the chocolate<br />
colored goodness disappears out of sight<br />
almost melting<br />
from my view as the clanging becomes more intense<br />
my chocolate goodness<br />
turns a shade lighter,<br />
more creamier<br />
"Baby really, all that over a cup of coffee?"<br />
He snickers. He doesn't understand<br />
my obsession with the seemingly innocent bean<br />
As i stir my wonderful delicious cup and lick the spoon<br />
a devilish smile takes over my lips<br />
"Damn right" i reply, exhaling, completely satisfied.<br />

My mind in space traveling <br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">Thoughts unraveling <br />
In this gravel pit of gargantuan memories that almost make no sense <br />
But I the scent of puzzling intrusion <br />
Of my thoughts through these blues <br />
And I get no help from these boos..<br />
<br />
My mind is wasting <br />
investigating the instigation of my negation<br />
for all these seen through my detrimental situations, <br />
I stand to be awakened…<br />
<br />
Lights flash of passion to the flickering of a heart drenched by the seas of emotion,<br />
Pardon me for being caught in the moment. <br />
<br />
I sat in my chair with my palms in my hand. My eyes watering because I remembered almost everything, key word was almost. I was brought back by one of my last cases or better yet by one of the last transcribed papers I had. I remember it specifically by the crinkles in the paper that was once wet with tears. I had to open my eyes to a reality that caused me to become a doctor in the first place. <br />
<br />
My mind is wasting <br />
investigating the instigation of my negation<br />
for all these seen through my detrimental situations, <br />
I stand to be awakened…<br />
<br />
Lights flash of passion to the flickering of a heart drenched by the seas of emotion,<br />
Pardon me for being caught in the moment. <br />
My mind in space traveling <br />
Thoughts unraveling <br />
In this gravel pit of gargantuan memories that almost make no sense <br />
But I the scent of puzzling intrusion <br />
Of my thoughts through these blues <br />
And I get no help from these boos..<br />
<br />
As I started to read the transcript, the lights flicker. <br />
<br />
So please, can you being to explain ?<br />
<br />
I was always good.<br />
Always did what i was supposed to.<br />
Mom and dads / perfect lil girl.<br />
Never deviated / from what i knew was right.<br />
Never thought about doing wrong.<br />
<br />
So then what happened? <br />
<br />
Should of listened to<br />
my instinct,<br />
it said go right,<br />
but excitedly i went the short way home.<br />
Daddy would be there,<br />
i longed to see his face<br />
feel the strength in his arms<br />
know that he was ok.<br />
<br />
Why should you have listened? <br />
What is going on is there something that I am missing? <br />
<br />
Instead, I'm here, scared, cold and alone.<br />
A simple question, a step too close, <br />
innocent, naive trust.<br />
I guess is to blame.<br />
He seemed so kind, the girl in the picture<br />
he carried, was my age.<br />
Now, I cant stop the tears<br />
that flow from my eyes.<br />
<br />
I promise I’m sorry but the bets way to cure yourself is with cries <br />
Let your soul speak don’t hide it within your eyes<br />
<br />
I want my mommy<br />
I need my daddy<br />
but neither can hear my cries.<br />
The room is too dark.<br />
For some reason i can't speak.<br />
My hands feel tied,<br />
can't move them or my feet.<br />
Chills run rampant<br />
through my small frame.<br />
I fear what is ahead,<br />
will I see my family again?<br />
<br />
footsteps...,<br />
footsteps...,<br />
back and fourth.<br />
Louder...,<br />
quieter...,<br />
and then louder again.<br />
Shadows<br />
come and go,<br />
mumbling barely heard,<br />
a twist of the door knob,<br />
a rush of wind through my hair<br />
my voice returns only<br />
to scream them away.<br />
Instead, the sound from me<br />
is muffled, silenced,<br />
and i can no longer scream<br />
can barely breath,<br />
no longer see.<br />
terror has finally taken hold of me!<br />
<br />
What then happened? <br />
<br />
movements heard,<br />
mumbling returns.<br />
on my left..,<br />
now my right...,<br />
a touch on my arm<br />
i jump in fright.<br />
Feeling the bed sink<br />
a presence felt next to me<br />
whispering,<br />
calling out to me.<br />
<br />
i turn <br />
exhale as best i can.<br />
shake my head in disbelief<br />
While a calm fear<br />
overpowers me.<br />
<br />
why?<br />
are you hear to save<br />
or hurt me<br />
why you,<br />
why me?<br />
Is this a lesson<br />
you're trying to teach me?<br />
Do my parents know?<br />
trying to force<br />
words through the <br />
nasty taste in my mouth<br />
I can't breath anymore<br />
a sudden smell takes over me<br />
i feel myself<br />
drifting away<br />
am i dying<br />
going to sleep?<br />
<br />
I hear him speak<br />
"I knew you were the one"<br />
and then...,<br />
There is nothing.<br />
<br />
There comes a day of terror that invades the interior <br />
Dramatic situations cause hysteria <br />
Delirium can overrun the mysterious <br />
Circumstance and no chance to be clear from <br />
Open your mind and heart <br />
Allow yourself to see <br />
Be free <br />
You survived, <br />
But I need to give you something from me<br />
Breathe….<br />
<br />
To Be Continued…<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #993399; font-weight: bold;">About the Beautiful Series</span><br />
<br />
I enjoyed speaking with talented writer, <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Ms. Kiexiza Rodriquez</span> from Richmond, Va. She was so delighted to share with So Fyh Magazine Online about her upcoming book series. Kiexiza brings a whole new flavor to the writing style community. This diva will have you trying to take a peek at the next chapter before you finish the first one. Here series is entitled “<span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Beautiful Series</span>” and introduces you to, Tierra Rodriquez, Aquarian, Sean, Shireece, and Vito who are childhood friends. Together they are a bunch you’re sure to relate to or even know someone just like them. <br />
<br />
The first book is named, <i style="color: #cc33cc;">"Beautiful” </i>which I thinkis well very well written. There is so much going on in this novel, from a rekindled friendship, a love lost, jealousy, betrayal, egos busted, even a life and death struggle, and oh plenty of drama to keep you interested! This book deals with the decisions, triumph and disappointments Tierra and Aquarian must face as they both deal with loss, and while trying to find love. Beautiful answers the answer the question, “how long can we be troubled with our past hurts or even hide skeletons in our closets, before all goes to hell?” It is a good, easy read book and <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Ms. Kiexiza Rodriquez</span> has something in it that you'll enjoy from the beginning to the end. I would encourage each of you to go ahead and pre-order your copy of this book today. Because once they reach 100, they are gone! You can order you copy by clicking here> <a href="http://www.kiexizarodriquez.weebly.com/">Kiexiza's website</a><br />
<br />
So Fyh Magazine Online would like to say congratulations to <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Ms. Kiexiza Rodriquez</span> for her contribution to the community and her aid to promote literacy. She admits as an author, her livelihood depends on avid readers. But, as a mother she believes we all have a responsibility to our youth to help build a love for books, which is why she reads to her children as often as she can and is an example for them by reading often herself. <br />
<br />
Ms. Rodriquez has more books in this series coming soon. So be on the lookout for the other 4 book in The Beautiful Series!! Here they are: <i><span style="color: #cc33cc;">"</span><b style="color: #cc33cc;">BEAUTIFUL</b><span style="color: #cc33cc;">"</span> </i>which we have already explored<i> ,</i> <i><span style="color: #cc33cc;">“</span><b><span style="color: #cc33cc;">Beautiful Seduction"</span> - </b></i>now in this book you will be on the edge as you go into the lives of married couple, Sean and Shireece, with more than a few secrets between them. One thing about keeping secrets it can cost you more than just your life. Find out if they wake up before someone dies.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #cc33cc;">"</span><b><span style="color: #cc33cc;">Beautiful Innocence"</span> - </b></i>Once again, author <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Kiexiza Rodriquez</span> has really done a thing on us as she takes us on a journey in the life of Kashia, Aquarian's sister, as she is trying to adjust to her life as a college student and the freedom of it all. No more parents mean No one to control her every move. How much trouble can a young woman get into in a new city? You’ll have to read to find out. <br />
<br />
Just when you think Ms. Rodriquez couldn't possibly pull another rabbit out of the hat, she does, and adds a few more surprises, in the novel,<b><i> <span style="color: #cc33cc;">"Beautiful Revelations"</span></i></b><i> -</i> Oh, WOW! Reading is believing, as revelations are revealed you’ll never see coming. The town player let me say Mr. Playboy Vito, himself gets his whole world rocked right off the hinges, and may just have to grow up overnight and a single mother is torn between matters of the heart and her fears that have tormented her entire life. Please don't throw in the preverbal towel just yet, because the great thing about the turning points of <b style="color: #cc33cc;"><i>The Beautiful Series</i></b> is that while you're moving on with a new juicy story, you will be keeping up with each and every one of the books and story plots from the books before. It sets you up for the final novel in this series, sure to be the biggest shocker of them all. So please get ready for this mind blowing novel to do damage! <i> <b><span style="color: #cc33cc;">Beautiful Destruction</span> - </b></i>with a mind boggling twist you’ll have to READ it to believe! <b style="color: #cc33cc;"><i>The Beautiful Series</i></b>, is guaranteed to be well worth your investment. So please, hurry and order book 1 NOW!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01455444355603691836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326443838279749631.post-71857383233195822852011-05-24T02:18:00.001-04:002011-06-16T05:03:16.355-04:00Beautiful Me!Look at me,<br />

My heart's a fire<br />
im confused<br />
concerned<br />
and there seems to be no<br />
end to this endless desire<br />
<br />
Do you see me?<br />
The tears i cry<br />
of am i just a waste of your time?<br />
a small<br />
inconsequential<br />
blimp<br />
something that just got in ur way?<br />
<br />
if a time machine was invented<br />
would you steal<br />
use it<br />
to erase your<br />
memory of me and you<br />
wash away the stain<br />
of the first time<br />
you said i love you<br />
<br />
do you secretly wish you could undo<br />
your memory of me<br />
friends<br />
family<br />
lover<br />
its all the same<br />
no matter what i do<br />
in the end<br />
its just a game<br />
<br />
i'm still amidst the rain<br />
turmoil sniffs<br />
its way home,<br />
seas of never ending<br />
twists and turns,<br />
hurricanes<br />
of emotionless<br />
midst, engulfs me<br />
suffocates me<br />
until...,<br />
<br />
quiet<br />
but no calm<br />
i can still feel the rage all around me<br />
and yet,<br />
still you can't see me<br />
cant feel me<br />
dont know me<br />
in a crowd<br />
cant recognize<br />
my voice<br />
don't remember my touch<br />
<br />
Life sucks<br />
and i'm strained<br />
i want off this train<br />
please calgone just take me away<br />
let me,<br />
slip beneath your silky bubbles<br />
of X-tacy,<br />
mesmerize me<br />
with the simplistic<br />
nuances of my daily life<br />
<br />
distract me<br />
captivate me<br />
reassure me<br />
that somewhere<br />
someone<br />
is looking for someone<br />
<br />
then shoot me down<br />
yank me<br />
back into reality<br />
<br />
thats what you do!<br />
so i guess you do see me<br />
maybe you see<br />
all im really worth<br />
yet you wont allow me to be free<br />
to achieve all that is within me.<br />
<br />
Why<br />

thrown to the wolves<br />

secretly craving the love<br />

I am but a humble, nurturing, giving without asking soul<br />
wishing and hopping to get a 10% of what i give<br />
willing to pour out 100% of me into you<br />
remain drained, weak and still come<br />
when again you call my name<br />

I am but one woman,<br />
one soul<br />
on body<br />
one heart<br />
one life<br />
<br />
no matter how far down you toss me<br />
throw me step on my neck and curse me<br />
somehow, still i rise to the top<br />
and smile<br />
after a night of angered tearful cries<br />
again like the phoenix from the ash of my past<br />
still i rise.<br />
<br />
still i rise,<br />
and just as fast<br />
sink down to oblivion<br />
fetal position embraces me<br />
remembers me instantly<br />
and opens arms wide<br />
calling me home<br />
to a home i have yet to fully know<br />
<br />
this is not where i want to be<br />
please set me free<br />
the is an inner me<br />
with a bigger dream<br />
but the darkness<br />
blocks out the light<br />
shuts me in<br />
continues the same ole thing again<br />
<br />
i am but one woman<br />
willing to love beyond<br />
all control rhyme or any reason<br />
known to man<br />
yet the Beautiful Mess i am<br />
seems to much for any human man<br />
all that i want<br />
all that i am<br />
all that i seek<br />
is fading beyond my grip with reality<br />
so into the vortex i send my dreams<br />
<br />
Poof<br />
goodbye!<br />

what is this darkness, that's taken hold and wont let go?<br />
<br />
What is this cloud, that's trying to engulf my soul<br />
trying to choke me out, and just wont let go<br />
<br />
has me crying over, stupid TV shows<br />
commercials, music, and fluffy bears<br />
eyes reddened cant turn away<br />
cant dare<br />
<br />
what is this that has, rendered my soul, useless?<br />
im new to this, was on a whole other plan<br />
<br />
Where is the sun, that was making a come back<br />
in my emptiness/ Where is its warmth<br />
that had melted the ice cold feeling of nothingness<br />
from my heart. had it all but gone away<br />
<br />
wheres my rainbow, i could just about see its<br />
end, Boy, the plans i had<br />
for that pot o gold, <br />
guess you really cant count, on happiness<br />
until it actually arrives<br />
and is it here to stay?<br />
<br />
If i cant count on my heart, on my emotions<br />
on this stirring im feeling, in the center<br />
of my soul, what can i count on?<br />
<br />
What is this feeling, im feeling<br />
what is this, what is this hollow place<br />
where is my knight, where is my warmth<br />
where is that touch, that sensitive, understanding<br />
embrace?<br />
this feeling is cold, this feeling is lonely<br />
this feeling, <br />
was all but gone, for some damn reason<br />
now has returned <br />
<br />
I need my sun, its rays<br />
to chase this, dreary<br />
darkness away!<br />
<br />
Please someone show me the way!<br />
I'm lost, drifting and the darkness<br />
is covering me, controlling me<br />
please shine a light<br />
and help me find my way out!<br />
<br />

It indeed was just that a HOT TOPIC. As many people listened in, chatted in the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">chat</span> room and listened via phone while Tony and I discussed this widely misconceived topic we thought we'd share what we learned.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://api.ning.com/files/CjI5JusTN5o15uCNPLHQUHwOPLok6HwI-e*wHdIqWiWgwXmbSjhvtCNPw7KsCRq5X0hnUvFN5TOAE8fMCGBeP4oYuvkOTYPP/eatingdis.jpg" target="_self"><img class="align-left" src="http://api.ning.com/files/CjI5JusTN5o15uCNPLHQUHwOPLok6HwI-e*wHdIqWiWgwXmbSjhvtCNPw7KsCRq5X0hnUvFN5TOAE8fMCGBeP4oYuvkOTYPP/eatingdis.jpg" width="172" /></a><br />
<strong>What is an eating Disorder?</strong><br />
<strong>The <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD9">National Eating Disorder</span> Org</strong>, describes an eating Disorder as this: such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder -- includes extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding weight and food issues. Eating disorders are serious emotional and physical problems that can have life-threatening consequences for females <strong>and</strong> Men. (for more on the signs, symptoms of various E.D. Click <a href="http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/nedaDir/files/documents/handouts/WhatIsEd.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>)<br />
<br />
<strong>Misconception</strong><br />
See many people, maybe even you reading this <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">blog</span>, think that a person who causes themselves to vomit their food or refuses to eat anything but bite sized amounts all day, <span style="font-weight: bold;">has to be</span> be doing this willingly. But WHO in their right mind, knowing the damage it can cause, (and some know what they can do to themselves) would do it anyway if it was just that easy to stop and <strong>NOT</strong> do it?<br />
The sad part is that in our society, if you do not have a <strong><em>PHYSICAL</em></strong> aliment, one that someone can SEE, your actions are easily dismissed as <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11">personal</span> choice. Something that can be gotten over with a lil will power and determination. Though at the same time, it is said that someone would have to be crazy or in a bad place to do such things to themselves. Kind of a contradictory statement, if you ask me!<br />
<br />
<strong>Eating Disorders ARE a physical AND an emotional issue</strong>! This is just proven fact! True they can begin simply with someones desire to lose weight by dieting. BUT Eating Disorders are far more than mere Dieting. They can kill you! Someone who <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD10">consumes</span> 700 calorie a day on a quick diet, will likely return to normal eating after the allowed time has passed. These diets always come with warnings labels, that it is NOT safe on a normal basis.They advise what a normal body needs to maintain itself and that the extremeness of the limited caloric intake is NOT recommended for an extensive time frame. In most cases people doing them, are usually looking to jump start their weight loss, get rid of a few extra pounds for a wedding, class reunion etc. Those products are often advertised in such a manner. Most people do not say i'm going to consume 700 calories for the rest of my life. (700 is not a caloric intake for those with an eating disorder it is just a low number used to show extremeness)<br />
Someone who falls into a pattern maybe begin the stages of an eating disorder,and not even realize it. They may suddenly find themselves feeling great, beautiful, handsome at all the remarks they begin to receive as the weight begins to fall off. They may enjoy the way their clothes begin to fit, the added attention from the opposite sex. (and NO E.D. are NOT limited to the Female gender) Before they know it they are eating less and less, for fear to gain one pound of what they have lost back. They begin to exercise more than normal, but to them "IT IS NORMAL." Food becomes their life, and not eating it, becomes an obsession.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Difference</strong><br />
When you look in the mirror you see your size 10, or 6 maybe even 16. A person with an eating disorder could very well be a size 6 but look in the mirror and see a size 16 looking back at them. No amount of diet, exercise or lack of eating will change that view point of themselves. They can't shake it. No matter what they do they see and Huge person in the mirror.<br />
Think of the images that are shown to us daily. Think of any given moment on TV, a music Video, a movie, a commercial, a book cover? Who are the butt of jokes, who gets the good roles, who has the biggest, sexiest, colorful, selection in the clothing <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD12">store</span>? What do all the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">songs</span> say a sexy beautiful woman looks like. What do the ads, TV etc say a handsome, sexy man looks like. Though more women, young girls, teens, fall victim to society's views doesn't mean that boys don't as well. They do!<br />
Think about your own concept of beautiful and how you speak it when are your children or family. we often say things and don't even realize it. Do you know that diet commercials often show women going from a normal healthy size 10 to a small 2? NOW even a size 10 is fat! Men they usually show obese, large, going thin, in shape muscular.<br />
It's a shame. We tell out children "you don't want to be fat, don't eat that." those lil words stick to them. not saying you want them to be fat, but why not teach and emulate <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">healthy eating</span>, rather than threaten the extra plate of food, will lead to a life of solitude? Why not get your child up and away from the Video game and TV and get out and play with them? there are so many things TODAY, we don't do with our children that our parents used to do with us.<br />
<br />
<strong>My Story</strong><br />
I can speak from <strong>PERSONAL</strong> experience and say that some Eating Disorders do not even begin about losing weight at all. Mine began as a way to keep my mother <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8">home</span>, around me and my abuser away from me, when she wasn't home. I made myself sick, not to be thin, not to lose weight, i was thin already, but it was a cry for help. Before i knew it though, i had no choice in it. ANYTHING I ate hurt, my stomach was in knots, twisted and the only way to relive it was to rid myself of what was there. IT WAS NOT a Choice, not something that i chose or enjoyed doing. I had not idea of what i was doing to my insides. I didn't know it was 1. harmful, 2. not safe 3. deadly.<br />
When i began to vomit, I was a teenager being abused and it was my way of keeping my mother around. When ever I ate i had to let it out. Seeing as i was taught to eat all my food, that became a problem as well. I would expel my insides to make room for the rest of my plate. I began to have stomach issues and then needed surgery. All the while NOT realizing it was the vomiting that was making me sick. It took me many years to get it under <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5">control</span>. The funny thing was that even when i began to open up and tell my doctors, therapist, <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6">dentist</span>, no one seemed to concerned about it. Even when i lost 20 pounds in just under two week due to it.<br />
It is still difficult to this day to fight the urge at times. When i'm upset, stressed or overeat. My fiancee, like many people doesn't understand why i do it. I hate when I fail and succumb to the urge, because i know i am letting him down and that the acid that i am forcing back up my throat could rupture and destroy my esophagus. I'm proud of myself, though. I've gone from getting rid of EVERYTHING i eat, right after i eat it, to maybe 1 or two times a month. Now how about that for progress! It doesn't mean though that the other 29 days I'm not tempted. This is like any other emotional, or physical disorder like an alcoholic, you have to live your life resisting temptation. I had to learn my stressers and to find other ways to unwind. My battle is far from over, but I'm so glad I'm not in the midst of the storm as i used to be.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">HOW CAN YOU HELP?</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Listen, Support, Love, Communicate.</span><br />
I know those sound like easy things to do. But over all you CAN'T make someone stop doing something if they don't want to stop. Think of a drinker, all the yelling and screaming in the world won't make them stop until they are ready. But I'm not saying to sit back and watch your loved ones die either. But know that no amount of bullying, nit picking, arguing, ultimatums, will make a difference, if the person doesn't see that they have a problem and are ready to address it.<br />
You can tell them you love them, you want the best for them. You can let them know that the way they are living is going to hurt their body, whether they realize it or not. You can suggest counseling maybe for YOUR sake not theirs. "<em>will you go with me so that that i can deal with how I feel</em>?" Putting the emphasis on you and off of them. <br />
Interventions can help. It can help to get your loved ones together, to write a letter, to tell the one with the disorder how what they do makes you feel. How scared you are for them, how you miss the person they used to be, the things they used to do and desire to do.(often times a person will become so obsessed with their food intake, output that it takes over their life, they can't function in "normal" society. Afraid and tired of the looks, stares, comments, questions, they retreat to the comfort of home. recluse)<br />
Know and understand though that, Intervention, love, kind words, as well as yelling screaming, ultimatums, may not work on any level! They may instead no matter how you come, feel attacked, that you don't understand what they are going through, that you are making something out of nothing and judging them.<br />
Which you may know to be false. But they don't!<br />
<br />
<strong>Conceed</strong><br />
In the end, unfortunately there is no 100% way, not quick fix, not book with all the correct answers. Even this note is more uniformed information. I can't give you a cure all, to get through to someone who is hurting themselves. But i will say to continue to try and make them aware to see what they are doing to their body and how it is detrimental to their health. It is NOT healthy living or eating.<br />
<br />
That in its self is a task.<br />
<br />
Over all, they need your LOVE, they need to know that you are there for them. But you need to know and relay to them that you want the best for them and that is, for them to be healthy and alive for a long time. Finding that balance can be hard, and depending on the level and severity of the disorder please please try to get intervention from a professional involved. Eating Disorders like any other disability can unfortunately tear a family apart. I pray that if you are suffering that you won't continue to suffer in silence. Please seek help, please reach out. if you are the loved one or family member, please know i feel for you and your pain and apparent helplessness. Hand in there.<br />
<br />
*The above are purely MY Point of View, and is by no means Medical FACT* If you or someone you love has an eating disorder PLEASE talk to your health care professional IMMEDIATELY. help is avail, you are NOT ALONE!<br />
If my story can help, I have no problem sharing. We all have a testimony!<br />
