Fat Girls Guide to Life book
by love2Bworldly inanyone read the "fat girl's guide to life"?
i am reading it right now and finding it pretty interesting.
it makes me think outside the box a little bit about how much money is spent on products for people to lose weight, and how much money saturates the market and influences so much of the media.. the author's attitude is one i try to have-- exercise, be balanced in eating habits, drink water, take nutrition supplements, and don't obsess over dieting & what the scale says or about other people's judgements toward my weight.. right now, i already know why i am overweight-- i am eating to deal with my bipolar issues.

my stepmother passed away 2 weeks ago, and had been in and out of the hospital.
so my brother told my jw sister, and she came running to town (5 hour drive) and they didn't call me but did call my oldest sister who then called me.. the jw sister took what items she wanted and left town.

does anyone really overcome co-dependence behaviors?
by love2Bworldly inmy friend gave me a book she had, called "facing codependence" by pia mellody.

Depression & natural ways to deal with it
by love2Bworldly ini was on prozac for about 10 years, and finally went off all meds about 18 months ago.
the prozac was causing me to have manic episodes, so they added a bipolar medicine as well as a sleep aid, and the bipolar medicine made me dizzy & nauseaus.
so now i work really hard at exercising regularly, i take a lot of natural supplements including natural lithium & megadoses of omega upon advice of a homeopathic doctor.

Parents of Teens--I need encouragement
by love2Bworldly ini am really feeling down today, can't stop crying.
i just need some words of encouragement from other parents that i will survive my kids' teen years.
my 13 year old is trying to discover/find herself, has emotional issues--since birth, cuts/burns herself secretly--she is on prozac, in regular counseling, spent time last year in a physchiatric hospital, and just generally always has stomach aches or conflicts with other peers and is flunking math as usual as well as getting bad grades in citizenship lately.. my 17 year old son is on probation for being in a fight last fall, and does illegal stuff for cash.

Do JWs contribute to co-dependency behavior?
by love2Bworldly ini was a jw from age 12 to age 21. i also had an extremely dysfunctional family.
i am sitting here at work (work is slow) and i am wondering whether there was a bigger influence on me to have co-dependency behavior from my life as a jw or the fact that my family was really messed up.. i am thinking about the fact that i am soon to be divorced from a second person who has an addictive personality and/or abusive type of personality, and i am wondering how much influence the jws instilled in me to marry quickly and try to make that marriage work even after finding out how dysfunctional that person is.. i am not looking for excuses or blame.
i know i am the one who made the wrong choices.
