So beautiful. My whole family teases me about being fat. But, thanks to this article, I don't have to feel guilty about being fat... The most important thing is being connected to God/Love. :) Thanks.

For some reason, the act of gluttony seems socially acceptable as long as no one talks about it. In fact, group gluttony is the most socially acceptable kind. Thanksgiving, eating Halloween candy, dinners out with friends, etc. <BR/><BR/>The most anyone usually says after "committing" gluttony is, "I wish I hadn't eaten this much," to which others will affirm and nod and agree. Then the subject always changes. <BR/><BR/>Gluttony is pretty bad, but we all do it. It's extremely difficult to eat in moderation in our culture, where MORE is perceived as BETTER.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for bringing up a sore subject in a very graceful manner.My Year Withouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290085498074393110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-38365466096848710902009-03-18T14:38:00.000-04:002009-03-18T14:38:00.000-04:00Great post!

My grandmother gives me hell all the time, so much that the rest of my family does it too. It's bad enough growing with that and thinking you're not beautiful. Whenever something fails, I never stop to think that it was a small detail that made it fall apart, I always think it's because of the way I look. I know I'm not ugly, but I feel like it. <BR/><BR/>One thing to remember though is that you're not the only one who feels like that. You're not the only one who has not been told you're beautiful by the person who should say it most. <BR/><BR/>In today's society, what is beautiful anyway? Is it even enough? My grandmother not only gives me hell about my weight, she gives everyone in the family hell about something. What's funny though is that no matter what we do to "better" ourselves, it's just never good enough for her. What does that teach? No matter what you do will ever satisfy society. Is that a bad thing? No, because your purpose is not to satisfy society. You are not a performing monkey. You are here to satisfy your own self by living the fullest and happiest life you can.Geenah Acevedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694263178697639054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-10645559073639431702009-03-18T02:03:00.000-04:002009-03-18T02:03:00.000-04:00Dr. John took my words, and he said them better th...Dr. John took my words, and he said them better than I likely would have. Gluttony is taking more than one's fair share -- especially at the expense of others. <BR/><BR/>You need to reprogram those tapes in your head. I was told I was stupid so often as a child, that my report cards (A's & B's) meant nothing to me. I actually thought I was just a lucky test taker. Then as an adult I decided to go to college, but I knew I was programmed to fail.<BR/><BR/>I taped positive affirmations all over my house. I read them out loud every time my eye fell on one. I had a whole speech I gave myself in the bathroom mirror twice a day. It worked. I made it through school and graduated at the top of my class. That WASN'T lucky test taking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-23366217023433384602009-03-18T00:25:00.000-04:002009-03-18T00:25:00.000-04:00Great post Raven X:-)You'll probably be bombar...Great post Raven X:-)<BR/>You'll probably be bombarded by heaps of comments because your blog has bee voted a "Blog of Note" by e-blogger... and i'm glad because it gave me the chance to 'meet' you...<BR/>If it's okay i'll pop back and say "HI" again as i like what you have to say & the eloquent way you say it...
