You Are In my Prayers and I support your Efforts

There is a Vitamin Called WeightSmart by one a day. I used to be overwieght due to a medication I was taking for depression and even after stopping the meds I could not lose the weight but then I tried this weightsmart vitamin and it is great it speeds up your motabolism and also makes one feel happier and healthier. It can't hurt, to try it.

I know atleast 5 people who are using it and another three who are going to buy it this week and try it. So this could be encouraging to you.

I will also say a prayer for you and keep you in my prayers for I know how you must feel, for I have had many friends that were overwieght, handicapped both physically and mentally, and a lot that were just right out not normal. They are all people too and I don' t care what others think of me because I am a friend to someone that is different or has a visible problem. I just look at it this way just wait until they are in this position. Then they will really understand.

Just hang in thier try the vitamins and keep up the good work and never give up.

Also I am going to leave you with a few more things to help you be strong one is a suggestion to listen to a song called friends by Micheal W smith and the last two are a couple poems that were written by my sister on of which (Running away) was about me, and the other was about both of us. they are very inspirational.

Think of me
Think of me.
When others have gone,
When times get tough-
And your all alone.

Think of me
When skies turn gray
When confusion sets in
And friends turn away.

Think of me
As the day slips to night,
Try to beleive things
Will turn out right.

Think of me
When the wind blows
Makes you lonely and cold,
Let's fear unfold.

Think of me
And remember when
The days were warm
And loving then.

Think of me
As time flies by,
When things don't work out,
And you want to cry.

Think of me
When things go right,
As thing look up,
I trust you might.

Think of me
There's no need to prove
Just let your thoughts of me,
Be filled with love.
Running Away
by Janell Rowe April 5, 1967 to July 13, 1989




I ran from you when

you said good-bye because

I was scared I'd get hurt.



I ran from the friends

when they pretend I'm

not there because I was

scared I'd be alone once again.



I ran fron the only life

I knew becasue I was

scared I'd lost my mind.



I ran away and didn't

stay because it seemed

to help, but the truth

is that it doesn'thelp.



I came back to find

myself, to see what I'm

like. I see the reason

why I ran...to clear my

head from the cloud I'm in.



I ran away to seek help!!!



According to what I was told by Janell's Boyfriend; this poem was written about me because I was always running.


I hope this helps, and if you ever need a friend I am here and willing to chat if you need someone to talk to. Always remember you are not alone. feel free to email me if you need to chat theresearcher@msn.com.

Take care.
Linda

Just here to help

I have a few tips for u, keep on the diet, it might do something, and don't think no one cares about you or likes you, because in the future I think you'll find that more people care about you more then you think, you might have a million guys chasing after you, don't think you're ugly, if I seen you right now, i'd probably think that you're pretty, and don't let anyone tell u different, don't listen to those fools who might say your ugly, those people just feel sorry for themselves and they might be the ugly ones, I was in that situation before, this person in school use to call me ugly and make fun of me all the time, my friends kept telling me that they're just jealus cause they don't have the good looks. and I ended up believing them after a while, just believe me now, that no matter what, don't think you're ugly, and i'm sure you'll find someone who's attracted in you, and don't mind the wheel chair, just because your in a wheel chair doesn't mean you're the ugliest person on earth, I have a friend in school, who's in a wheelchair, she was in it since she was born, and she sometimes tells me how she wishes she can walk like evryone else, so, just because your in a wheel chair, don't be so down, you have your whole life ahead of you to find new friends, and maybe even get out of the wheelchair, I remember, a while ago, when I got injured pretty bad, the doctor said it was guaranteed that I wouldn't walk again, but I was confident and wanted to walk, so I practiced each day, until i could stand, and by each step I took I grew happier, just when I started to lose hope, I finally was able to walk again, so have faith, it only happened about a year, maybe 2 or 3 years ago, I forget exactly how long, but I guess I was around 8 or 9, please, believe in yourself, don't be so negative about your self, my e-mail adress if u want to contact me is ashton_Ketch@hotmail.com, my name's Ash ketch, thanks, bye!

A few tips ?

Hi,

I guess it's not easy to be in this situation. And we do'nt always want to look at the bright side of things, at least not all the time...

I don't know if the wheelchair is a permanent thing or not, but there are quite a few people who cannot walk, I even know someone who has become a sports professional "thanks" to a wheelchair ! So I suppose there still are many things you can do.

On the food side of things, I really don't believe in diets, I think all they do is make you like a balloon ... A good thing might be to go and see a nutritionnist who would help you put an eating programme into place, where you could eat just about everything but in "reasonable" quantities. I know I've stabilised my weight thanks to that, even if I follow it from a distance from time to time ! It's also helped me feel better : when I go to bed at night, I don't feel like I'm about to burst because I ate too much of that heavy stuff I like !

More tips :
- when you crave for a chocolate bar, or whatever you know you shouldn't eat, drink a big glass of water or (if you can) go out to take some fresh air.
- help others : it's something to keep you busy and you'll take your mind off your wheelchair.
- smile and when you go out always smile at people looking at you, say "hello" to them : it can be disturbing having somebody being nice to you when you don't expect it.
- if you can, join a club where you can do yoga, fitness, theater,..., whatever activity where you can evacuate your stress and energy.
- every morning, think of one nice thing you'd like to do/have/give, and try to do it or have it. It could be have a chat with a best friend, go to the cinema, give one dollar to help someone out, go through your wardrobe and chuck out everything you don't like anymore,...
- pamper yourself : take a bath, use make-up, go to the hairdresser's (it's always a good idea to see people who don't know all of your problems), dress up, anything ! It'll make you feel better.

I hope I have been of help.

Love yourself and others will follow

Well, I think there's love even for those who are disabled. Personally I can find people with disabilities charming.. the thought of caring for and loving someone who's disabled is an interesting thought for me.

As for weight.. well, I was chubby myself when I was younger, now I'm fairly slim, that's thanks to keeping busy, drinking coffee and working out. You're in a chair so it could be harder to find activities, but there are surely special programs one can use to get a good workout. And being active on the internet might keep you from gorging in food whenever you feel like it.

You say yourself that you used to be pretty.. I'm sure some visible parts of you as still aesthetic, if you give yourself a chance.

Anyway.. you're still on this globe, might as well make good use of the time you have!

Its a lifestyle thing..

Thats a pretty tough situation to be in.

I think you have identified where the problems are, and which areas you need to address. But nobody can ive you willpower.

You now have to build in mechanisms for dealing with the times you eat out of boredom. It sounds like there is also some comort eating there too.

So, try to notice when you're most vulnerable to overeating and find another way to give yourself something nice, or do something else you enjoy.

Another trick I've found out about recently, is eating slowley. Physically put your fork down with every mouthful and throughly chew your food. Really try to taste what you are eating. Eat until you are full and no more, and always eat when you feel hungry.

It works for some and not for others. With some people its creating a lifestyle where they get more excercise. But the important thing is that you create a new way of living that suits you.

I don't agree with these dieting fads. They are too hard to stick to. And the people who try them end up just getting more disappointed, and more self critical.

Anyway, good luck with it.

Although I'm probably not the best person to be giving advice on this subject, I do like to have my say...
