Tell us all about how you needed surgery to make it possible for you to get rid of some of that **** you're so endlessly full of. LOL clean up that language, Bob; why are you so upset over simple Usenet posts, G That's me, MU_xy, all upset because you don't post enough. I need the target practice with slow-moving, not so bright hot air balloons. Talk about a perfect fit... Bob? Unbecoming is your swearing, enlightening is the fear behind it. Talking like Yoda is MU_ffy, failing to be as bright as the puppet is he. MU_ncher doing his psychobabble analyses is almost as funny as Chung doing nutrition. I'll weigh some vulgar language against the boastful lying you do any time. I can do whatever I want with language. Pity you can't do anything about your character. Enough evidence is already in, MU_skweasel, to accuse, try and convict you of being a fake with a life of smoke and whispers seemingly envious of others who contribute to society. Bob |

I still prefer to dismiss these discussions. But then I'm also agnostic and don't really find the need for support outside myself. Which is why you don't post ot an alt.SUPPORT. group. |

I'm writing a book about this whole dieting phenomenon (yes, Andrew, I know I have missed the deadline by about one or two years?) and many times I stop to think if it is all for little purpose. How many folks can I actually assist with diet/exercise problems if the majority need to address the emotional and psychological dilemmas as the foremost step. On 25 Aug 2004 00:20:13 GMT, Sunshyne wrote: Go for it, write the book. I will read it for sure. There are alot of people who can benifit from this. For some of us.. Not sure on how many. The most important first step is the emotional and psychological dilemmas. The most important part of the Atkins book to me, is the emotional and psychological parts of it. I wish it went a little deeper though. Thank you for the encouragement. I needed to sell at least one other copy than to my family and friends. lol Many on the diet newsgroups dislike the discussions of religion particularly Chung's and mine on Christianity. But I tell you that, as in all things involving human turmoil, the root of these answers must be found outside of the human condition, the human existence. Psychology fails the overfats, or they fail it; the majority, then, are doomed to fail. Is there no solace for these poor folks? On 25 Aug 2004 00:20:13 GMT, Sunshyne wrote: I got solace from a variety of sources. The main one being that I became a Christian a year and a half ago. It led to a road of self discovery, self love. I wouldn't have become what I am today, if not for this. It was one of the major steps. Congrats to you. At least in doing so, there *is* discussion, recognition that many of the basic answers to this overfat populace of ours do not, nor ever will, be found outside of supernatural intervention. On 25 Aug 2004 00:20:13 GMT, Sunshyne wrote: For me, yes it was inviting God, and Jesus into my heart, my life. But I think that others find their own ways, individually, and get the answers they need. I support your optimism but I am not so optimistic that you are correct. If those supernatural assistances are not discussed, then the value of these various Usenet groups is severely diminished. On 25 Aug 2004 00:20:13 GMT, Sunshyne wrote: I don't discuss these things. Though I wish I did more so. I found it inside me lately to stand up for what I believe in. What I wish to share with others, that may be in similair situations like I was. Sorta like a wounded healer. Standing up for what I am, what I believe in, comes with a price though at times. I came to the conclusion that if I don't stand up for myself, I lose parts of me, my inner power. I guess it got to the point I will not trade my inner power and peace, to keep the peace. I will not live in anothers shadow. I have my own light. Yes, the price. There is always a price with success. If you would like more into this part. Email me. I could use a ear that will listen. From a fellow Christian. Please, do not take this wrongly. I spend what time I have posting openly. Email is not my thing. |

If there is no God, then yes, there is no solace. Dismissing discussions on supernatural aid, Christ and Christianity, makes no sense at all. On Tue, 24 Aug 2004 08:23:04 -0700, GaryG wrote: I disagree. As a happy secular humanist/agnostic, I find solace in many things - my kids, a beautiful sunrise, the beauty of athletics as represented at the Olympics, the feeling of the wind blowing over my arms as I ride my bike, etc., etc., etc. Yes ma'am, all beautiful those things truly are. If believing in something that can't be seen or felt or heard or measured makes someone feel better about themselves, I have no problem with that. But, rest assured that many people lead lives filled with joy, beauty, and meaning without having to have "faith" in the unseen. Christ is only unseen to those who have no faith in Him. One can feel good in this temporal world without Christ, no doubt about it. One of Satan's master diversions. However, when one looks at a few human years of "joy" vs an eternity of Hell or Heaven, life on Earth pales in comparison regardless of how happy one might be. |
