Re: quote from demi moore people magazine january 16th

Thanks for posting the quotes from Demi , Alana. I certainly

can relate to all of them. That last one in particular expresses

really well one of my biggest insecurities.

Reading and identifying with these quotes is making me feel sad

about what she must have been going through at the end of her

marriage. It must have been like her greatest fear come true.

Sue

I thought this to was a good quote. It shows that even

beautiful women have insecurities.

" I have a love hate relationship with my body...

I find peace when I don't see my body as the enemy. You

can't look at yourself in the mirror and tear your body

apart, you have to look at it and go thank you thank you

for standing by me for being there no matter what I have

put you through"

What she says here on rejection and her greatest fears

really rings true to me.

On rejection: "I used to think that what scared me the

most was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to

me "only children can be abandoned. Adults can't be

abandoned because we have a choice."

Her greatest fears: " what scares me is that I'm going to

ultimately find out at the end of my life and I'm not

really lovable that I'm not worthy of being loved. That

there's something fundamentally wrong with me... the fight

against gravity for me is to find that love for myself

that gives me the courage to reach my fullest potential"

Can anyone else relate to these quotes? I've done enough

work with counselors to know these are some of the issues

I work through and relate to my food/ weight issues.

Oh, Alana, I can so relate to the part about something being fundamentally wrong

with me, that I am unloveable. Yes, she is right that you have to love yourself

first. That's been a lifelong struggle for me, and finally, I'm beginning to

make some headway. After my husband told me as he left that only he could ever

put up with me, either I had to fight to learn that I was loveable, or I was

going to literally die of the pain of his words on top of my belief of my

worthlessness.

I have always thought that I must be the only one who ever felt that way. Though

I'm sorry that anyone feels unloveable, it's comforting to know there are people

other than me who've been there.

Sara,

I think feeling I'm worthless and seeing my body as my jailer and enemy are

significant contributors to my struggle to allow myself to trust my body and to

take care of myself in general. Ironically, I am caregiver to several people

and friend to more who other folks might consider less-than, but I don't have

any trouble seeing them as worthy of love and care. But me, no, I see myself as

worthless. Pitiful and the major thing I have to overcome to move forward.

You can start changing that by the fact that first of all you Are aware of it.

Second, work on changing that self talk. Start saying to yourself " I AM WORTHY! "
