Guest guest Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi Alana, Did you actually talk personally to the girl about the eating issue or the suicide attempt? From your post, this wasn't clear to me, dear. To me, that would be most important. best wishes always, Mike Subject: Our Self WorthTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Date: Thursday, December 16, 2010, 5:23 PM I recently found out that my cousin's daughter who is in her early 20's has an eating disorder and tried to commit suicide just prior to Thanksgiving. She is now in a special hospital for eating disorders. This young girls is absolutely beautiful and brilliantly bright and intelligent. It so saddens me that she doesn't know her worth. And it just so makes me want to scream to all out there struggeling with weight and eating issues that we are all so wonderfully worthy and we all have amazing potential and value. We are so much more than what we weigh, the size of our thighs or what we eat or how much we eat. My holiday wish to everyone is for everyone to find their beauty, their worth and their value and peace in who they are. I pray that we all can get outside of our rediculous voices in our heads that tell us we are something we are not.Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!Alana"Do not be content with littleness"A Course In Miracles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 No I have not talked directly with her. This is all from other family members and her Dad, my Cousin. The hospital she is in has restrictive visiting hours and only allows for immediate family at this time. And unfortunately, she will not most likely be with the family for Christmas. I am not real close with her, and not sure if I will ever have the opportunity to talk one-on-one with her. I just keep praying for her and that is all most of us can do at this time. But it just makes one think about how rediculous the voices in our heads around our bodies, our self worth and food can get. It is a psychological disease that is beyond my understanding. I am just grateful that I have been able to accept my body where it is at and really incorporate IE into my life and stop the obsession around weight and food and I pray that others can find peace.
