- wow, nice goals by lilly1

Hi Labella
I just wrote back on your previous post. But I just had to write back on this one too. I love your attitude! And I really hope you can find a way to channel all your forces in a way that serves you and not to go against you. I've also had problems with bulimia in the past and food still once in a while becomes medicine for stress to me. But I'm leading a pretty mellow life now.
Are you from Asia. I cannot tell where the names were from.
It's a beautiful day here in California and I am lying in bed with a hot water bottle and the windows wide open, cruzing on curezone.
I think I will also write all my goals down, really good idea.
Take care,
Lilly

Why Lilly, those are overly kind words. Life is such a short one, I plan to live it to the maximum. No short changes allowed! haha
Honestly, I have experienced my share of turbulence in life with a dysfunctional family, low self-esteem, slimming drug abuse and eating disorders. Now at 21, I have decided enough is enough, I am putting my feet down and pursuing what I call "La Bella Vita" (the beautiful life), according to my standards, beliefs and ideals. So I may say each day I awake to the time I go to bed that "ben ozgur bir kadinim" (I am a free woman in Turkish). Like how the body and mind work co-dependently, the way I think will affect how my health is. The way I treat my body will affect the effectiveness my brain functions.So here I am, bathing in positive psychology, curiously seeking to discover myself more deeply, and fasting to heal my whole being.When one is well (mind, body and soul), one radiates a brilliant aura and that is my destination--for life.I hope you strive for that too, to live by means that purport your growth as a human being where you can be healthy, happy and free.
I realize my eating disorders are a result of my poor upbringing which led to my development of a low self-esteem during my early teens. Although there is not so much a problem in this department anymore, I am told by my therapist that I exhibit signs that show that I have some mild problems regulating my self-esteem. He is a wonderful doctor. He took an interest in my case when I was hospitalized for safety reasons (my family is a wreck) because he was concerned how my stability (concerning regulation of my self-esteem) would affect my medical studies and career. Right now, my eating disorders are no longer big issues but the shadow of them still hang over me; during stress, I still have thoughts of binge/purge or abusing laxatives.I ought to remember healing is a transition state and health is an ongoing process. When will i reach my goal? I may never know. But I know I can and I want to. And that is enough.
Yes, I am from Asia. My real name is Isabella. It is wonderful to see your reply. How the world shrinks with technology. I hope you are having a fantastic summer now. It should be lovely in Cali.
Lots of love.

Isabella,
you've got it! You are doing it right NOW! I am extremely happy for you, great congratulations! I hope you will be able to leave all the bad stuff behind you and walk forward. Do not supress anger or negative emotions inside you, that's only adding up to the inner flame and inflamation. It's wonderful that you can write about these things and discuss them with your close and beloved ones, to voice your mind and stand up for yourself and your rights. I hold my thumbs for you and wish you the best, the strength, the energy, the peace and love, the childlike wonder ;-)
Lots of love and prayers for you
xxx
