Eating Disorders Support Group at DailyStrength: Get help with Symptoms, Signs, Treatments, News, Information, Drugs and More

I wasn't planning on a part three to this series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness. I think many of us rip apart our own IALAC signs without ...

Vitamin D and Me

By Dr. Orrange May 15, 2008 10:12am 6 Comments

DrOrrange

Vitamin D is readily available through sun exposure and as a supplement yet there are new reasons to believe we are not getting as much Vitamin D as we need. Vitamin D deficiency can be discovered on a blood test done by your physician and is defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels < 20 to 30 ng/mL. Depending on the age group and season we ...

Probiotics: What's The Story With The Good Bacteria?

By Dr. Orrange May 13, 2008 9:51am 12 Comments

DrOrrange

What are they and why do we care? Probiotics are microorganisms that have beneficial properties for the host (that's us). Probiotics are an important way we can alter intestinal bacterial flora. Most are derived from food sources like cultured milk products. The list of probiotics is long, but some familiar names are: lactobacillus, clostridium ...

Journal Entry for May 17, 2008

Saturday, May 17, 2008 | A General Update story

Except for a sore throat that has turned in to a full blown cold, it's saturday and this morning the sun is shining. The PM forcasts rain and thunderstorms. So need to get out and plant some flower seeds. Yesterday was a successful day, and that's where I want to go today. Woke up several times last night, just can't make it thru the night. I have a littl...

Journal Entry for May 17, 2008

Saturday, May 17, 2008

I know, I know, I haven't posted a journal entry in FOREVER.
My life has been crazy busy lately and I just haven't had the time. So, Mynika's over in Ladner for the month, staying at a barn to get bred to an Andalusian stallion. I'm super excited about it, but extremely, extremely nervous at the same time. I don't know if she will accept him (the stallion) or not. But I guess ...

LEONA LEWIS LYRICS
"Bleeding Love"
Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen
But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going ...

Not only have there words of wisdom and support uplifted me and make me think, but giving it back makes me think about things I needed ...

I Need Money Help Bad

Saturday, May 17, 2008

My fiance and I both get a check every month from Social Security, but we both have payees who take care of that money and pay our bills with it. Then I get work and get wages and that pays for everything else we need. My fiance also gets a small check every week from our payee and I get a small every other week.
Problem is we spend to much money and don't make through the two weeks, until I ...

Loving me for me

Saturday, May 17, 2008 | An Inspiring story

I've learned that I have to love me for me. And not look and say "Oh, I wish I was more like her. Or maybe I was more like her." I need to look myself in the mirror and say to myself "You're not half bad yourself. Yea, you could do this or that, but doesn't everyone say that to themselves? Work on what you can and leave the rest to God."

It's Saturday!!!

Saturday, May 17, 2008 | A General Update story

My mattress is being delivered today. I can't wait. And, of course, bonus: having someone come to the house always makes me motivated to clean the house.
I'm quite tired. I haven't slept much the last few days, but that will surely get better with a new mattress, eh matey (as some of my new friends would say).
A male classmate called me last night a...

A bit of lighter stuff for article number 33. I have had a hard day... in the apartment next door they started working on the hardwood flooring... again... at 7:54 am. I thought they had finished with that last week and I hadn't been able to fall asleep util after 5 am. I had set my alarm for 12:30 am to help compensate, but there is no way to sleep when they are hammering on what feels and s...
