And this immense and intense compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Psychologists with too much time on their hands have described a condition called " muscular dysmorphia. " http://www.totalobscurity.com/mind/news/2002/98lb-weaklings.htm There's a related and severely debilitating condition in which men have misperceptions about the extent of their strength. For example, a man who can deadlift 500 pounds might believe himself incapable of taking out the trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You work out there on a regular basis so you would know better than me. But I think my eyes are doing just fine, LOL!. I would hazard a guess that it is those particular workout pants. They give you a more " extended " look than some of your other pants, at least according to *my* eyes. But my point was that what you saw as bad I saw as good.

So yes, that's how I took it. I didn't make an absolute statement about all women, I made a statement about all the women _I Have Known_ . You extrapolated from my own personal experience and assumed I was referring to all women. I was not. The second part of that post, which you left out, makes that rather clear when I note " from my limited experience " : " That is why, IMO, it doesn't pay to engage a woman about her figure (slim, slender or what have you), no matter how many times she asks your opinion.

I didn't remark on either of these because I think the fact there are individuals in either sex who don't hold to what a general tendency might be among their gender is a truism that didn't need to be stated. > I do think as a general rule of thumb in the US that women tend to be *more* > sensitive than men about body image.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 OK, I'll keep it brief since would rather read about 's butt. Besides, with work, taking Mokie to the vet, and researching ways to deal with her possible mast cell tumor, I haven't had nearly as much time to spend writing posts today as you have, so don't expect a treatise ;-) > RE: weight > >But my point was that what you saw as bad I saw as good. And when I said >so *you* still thought it was bad, half joking or no. And of course I >still think its good <g> Well, I think you're putting more into my reaction as to what I saw in the mirror than actually happened. For some odd reason my butt looked not only extra extended but also *pointy* at that moment. It freaked me out for a moment there. But as you can clearly see, I *like* extended butts. Otherwise I wouldn't have spent a week and a half doing squats every day in order to beat 's butt! But like I said, I still think mine won the " extended_in_relation_to_body_size " competition at the conference. <g> > ><snip> > >> >Are you suggesting that men's image and attitude about >> >their body is the same, in general, as women? >> >Hmmmm...well we will just have to agree to disagree on >> >that one. >> >> Nope.

Well, since I'm not in the habit of making negative comments about men's bodies, I really have NO idea how they'd react. >> When I said *all* women are not like that, I was responding to your >> statement: " That is why, IMO, it doesn't pay to engage a woman bout her >> figure (slim, slender or what have you), no matter how many >times she asks >> your opinion.

So yes, that's how >I took it. > >I didn't make an absolute statement about all women, I made a statement >about all the women _I Have Known_ . Then it was a misunderstanding, because the way you worded it seemed to me that you were making a blanket statement the same as I did in the organic thread when I said organic farms are not sustainable, which was a mistake. When Katja called me on it I corrected myself and made it clear that not ALL organic farms are unsustainable, which is how Katja understood what I said. The only time you mentioned you were referring to your own experience was the last line " ...from my limited experience, and god forbid, unless you enjoy involuntary fasting, don't EVER say anything negative. " This made me think you were only refering to your limited experience when you said don't EVER say anything negative about a woman's figure. NOT when you said earlier in the para " That is why, IMO, it doesn't pay to engage a woman about her figure (slim, slender or what have you), no matter how many times she asks your opinion.She is going to see what *she* wants to see, no matter what her male friends might say. " There was a " .... " preceding the last sentence, which is often used to express a different but related concept, so I thought it was a separat sentence. I didn't know you were modifying the entire para with " from my limited experience. " I think it was ambiguous, so could be understood in more than one way. I apparently did not understand it the way you intended it. My bad :-( > > >> >If had to bet money on the general tendency in terms >> >of body image, I wouldn't put money on your view, but >> >that is just me. >> >> The only view I expressed in that email was that not ALL women were like >> that and that men are often sensitive about body image as well >(but not ALL >> of either gender).

That men weren't concerned about their bodies. Right, but if the incorrect understanding I had of the above para were indeed what you intended to say, then my response would've been appropriate, because, IMO, when you suggest that one gender is such and such a way, carte blanch, it *generally* implies that this trait, behavior or what have you, is unique to that gender. Ie; " girls are sensitive " , " boys are tough " etc. Anyway, that's the way I think these statements are generally made to my understanding, but I could be wrong. > >Personally, I've found the pressure to >> have a perfect body rather extreme - at least, when I'm tuned in to >> mainstream culture. > >Where might this pressure be coming from?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Leyna, I lost twenty-plus pounds with implants, but mainly because I was too nauseated to eat. After I got them out I gained the weight back and some extra. Now that I have vertigo again, I'm losing weight again. "The Vertigo Diet" is great for weight loss, but I wouldn't recommend it! Bindi Weight I'm reading and hearing about so many women who have gained a lot of weight with their implants, that is hard or impossible to lose.I've gained about 40 pounds since I've had mine in-can't lose it for anything!So, for those of you who have had their implants removed.... have you lost any weight, or does it get easier to lose weight?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Leyna, I gained 150 pounds. I had never been that heavy in my life. I believe it was a combination of implants, untreated thyroid disease, law school, stress and illness/meds. Oh, and yes, there was the Ben and Jerry's I gulped down when I felt blue. So. I have now lost 30 pounds, in the last two and a half months. I am on a very strict diet - no sugar, for starters. And I do not eat fruit (not yet anyway). I eat fiber, chicken/fish (no red meat), and vegetables. Lots of vegetables. If I am dying for something sweet, I have diet jello. Yes, it has splenda in it. But it helps me. I feel better, too. I have actually dropped a size in shoes! (I have some for sale on Ebay - Danskos and Birkenstocks in size 38/39. I have dropped a dress size. I am determined to get there. It may take a year or more, but I will. > > I'm reading and hearing about so many women who have gained a lot of > weight with their implants, that is hard or impossible to lose. > > I've gained about 40 pounds since I've had mine in-can't lose it for > anything! > > So, for those of you who have had their implants removed.... have you > lost any weight, or does it get easier to lose weight? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Molly, Good for you for losing that weight and sticking to a good diet! I'm so not good with being on a diet, since I'm diabetic. Much harder for us. I eat healthy most of the time, and I have almost NO sweet tooth at all, but I do eat a lot of fruits.Molly Bloom <mollyb54@...> wrote: I also want to mention that it has been over 2 years since my explant.

I do not have Type 1 diabetes, but was well on my way to Type 2 diabetes. I take metformin now, but my doctor says when I lose more weight I probably won't need it. > > > > > > I'm reading and hearing about so many women who have gained a lot of > > > weight with their implants, that is hard or impossible to lose. > > > > > > I've gained about 40 pounds since I've had mine in-can't lose it for > > > anything! > > > > > > So, for those of you who have had their implants removed.... have you > > > lost any weight, or does it get easier to lose weight? > > > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Messenger with Voice.

My rummy told me that stress can also cause weight gain; and with RA your body battles with stress, if its not under control. Best of luck, sis. Kathy [ ] weight i was diag. with ra at age 19. the last 3 years have been a constant battle with my weight. i'm not on prednisone. i'm on metho. injections and that usually makes people lose weight. i excercise, eat better and chase a 10 month old around and can't lose weight. any ideas? brooke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hi and everyone interested I have noticed that many of you have been battling with weight problems and thought I should share with you my diet, which might help some of you. Though I was never overweight, I started to be concerned about my weight when I was diagnosed with auto-immune disorder (lupus or RA or a combination of both or whatever else) two years ago. I was afraid I might start gaining weight because of the cortisone and the lack of exercise and the depression. Here is my formula: Breakfast: One tea spoon honey Two glasses of water Green tea, with fructose or plain A cereal mixture made of musli with raisins and corn flakes and a few walnuts or almonds or hazelnuts, add little sugar and milk. I eat as much as I can, since this fills me up for a long time Lunch: Plain yoghurt and some fruits Dinner: A big bowl of tuna salad: Tuna (remove the oil) added to lettuce, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, sweet corn etc.) and a small spoon of mayonnaise. Sometimes I even add pickles or walnuts, just to make it a little more interesting. If I am still hungry, I take an apple or add some walnuts to a handful of honey smacks. And drink A LOT of water! Really, drink as much as you can. This diet is very filling and after a while, your stomach gets used to these small but very nourishing and substantial quantities and you stop feeling hungry between meals. I started this as a diet for loosing some weight, but it has become my daily supplement and every now and then, especially on weekends I can give myself a real treat and eat really fattening stuff, without any guilty conscience. Though I am now a bit underweight, I feel very light on my joints, and I can enjoy wearing real cool stuff, which is very important for my soul!! I wish you all the best of luck and well being amira Kathy <lilfox990@...> wrote: Hi, .
