I hate being so skinny. I am fairly tall and weigh only 104 pounds. People always get tips on how to lose weight and look good, but what about me? There in no way to make a stick look nice.

I hate how people assume that I am ill because I am skinny, people have actually asked me if I make myself puke or if I starve myself! OOH, this is so irritating! I don’t ask obese people is they ate too much or sat around too much!

I hate how eveyone I know thinks that I am a geek. So what, I like to read, are they jealous or what?

I hate house breaking puppies. Actually, I hate when some one else steps in the doo doo because I am the only one who apparently can smell. And, I am the only that will clean it up and put the pup outdoors. I also hate how everyone acts like it is my job to clean up the accidents, even if they see the doo doo, they won’t clean it, they will yell “Mom, there’s doggie doo….”

I hate how male cats like to pee on plastic. What the heck is the deal with that? Can’t they pee on a tree like dogs?

I hate how my cat leaves dead creatures with their guts hanging out, under my dining room table!

Ok, enough ranting this morning… if you can’t tell, this has not been one of my best mornings…..

Many people, especially adolescent girls who copied almost everything what they see the highlights by skinny requiring that they are to take a walk on the catwalks with designs of famous couturiers models, , which have sent the Pantheon – perhaps unintentionally – to anorexic young girls want to follow the prototype of the girls of fashion shows, regardless their health, while Dad, MOM, and grandparents told that it is not normal, an unhealthy obsession which costs recovered, sometimes leaving digestive malignant sequels: cancer, stomach, gastritis, ulcers, Finally, a multitude of diseases one same causes, trying to reach the goal of the thinness, although nothing ahead and nothing from behind. It is ideal for many of the opposite sex who admire these girls and boys.

The couturiers, when less some, do not create designs for adults or seniors, it sizes much less large, traumatizing to the young girls and adult women. It is true that if your constitution be thin natural, is beautiful; but there are also normal girls, without thinness, curvilinear, with beautiful buttocks, which do not have to envy of others.

Beauty is transmitted with rosy faces, pleasant character. Not be carried away by the negative emotions.

When you go to a fashion show, only to see the faces of the serious, stark models, some seem to be bitter.

In truth, must take advantage of his young years or lifting face continually. Youth and adult healthiness is when you see the models happy, relaxed, not loaded make-up cutis and other makeup. There is nothing more beautiful than accept you, since God created you, if you cast the only perfect, it is likely that never reach that goal by your narcissism.

Perfect only Jesus Christ, who out of love towards us gave his life to extricate us from deep in our complex trauma and sins.

Boys and girls: wanting as they are, as says the sacred book, the Bible: love your neighbor as yourself. Accepts the beauty that God has given you, because every human being has valuable things that transmit sweetness, love looking, happy, be accepted as they are expensive. Not changing its physiognomy. The bleached graves abound; But having to God, our heavenly father always transmitted its spiritual beauty. Physically feel the good vibe, as they say at present

Confidence is not giving a care about what people think of you,

Confidence is achieving things you want.

I learnt this valuable lesson from an early age, my parents used to say “if you have no confidence then you have no life” and you know what, I still believe every word of it. People with no confidence always have no self-esteem and are always self-conscious that’s why they don’t get far in life – lets face it, even if you get straight A’s you won’t get the job of your dream because your confidence will let you down in the job interview. Employers have changed in the last decade or so – not only are they looking for bright individuals, they’re looking for individuals that burst with confidence. People that believe in themselves and believe in what they can achieve. I have written this article to help those who are not so bursting in confidence and find them they’re confidence.

Be your own best friend:

I learnt this lesson from a you tuber and lets face it, it’s quite a good lesson. Some of you might think its stupid but i think its one of the most important lesson you need to learn to gain confidence. Confidence isn’t something you can buy in a shop – you have to build it up like a strong brick and steel sky scraper. You can’t trust anyone as much as your own self – not even your closest friend because there’s a chance you might have a fight and she/he will go off telling anyone she/he can get her/his hands on. Its really important to be your own best friend – it makes you independent and helps you believe in your self. Independence is really important because it means that you don’t have to rely on people like your bank or friends cause they can make your life living hell. I mean if you really need help why don’t you comment yourself.

Don’t doubt yourself:

People with little or no confidence often doubt themselves – and that is a complete no no. Everyone must rely on themselves and believe in every decision they make, if you doubt your self then others doubt you and believe me it wont create a good image of you. One of the things people who doubt themselves need to learn is to let go of expectations. Its usually people with high expectations that get greatly disappointed. When people get so greatly disappointed they start to doubt themselves. When something like that does happen, you need to question yourself and ask if there were any reason behind why you probably didn’t do so well. By doing this you are separating your expectation and disappointment.

Stop comparing yourself:

This is one of the most common factors as of why people are lowering the confidence they have. I mean, people don’t care whether your not a skinny and fit as other people, not as clever as other people or not as popular as others – they care about who you are as a person. There might be a man or a women at work or school whose got the perfect body and is intelligent and is rich but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect and you HAVE to be like them. For all you know they might have lost family or might have had a bad past – REMEMBER, NO ONES PERFECT.

Love yourself:

Many people hate themselves, they’re body or their personality. Every single person is individual and unique – there is no such thing as perfect. Love yourself and always think about how lucky you are because there are people in Africa and poor countries where they will do hard manual work for a penny a day, not being able to afford to feed their family and having to watch their children,babies and wives starve to death and just knowing that they will never get anywhere in their life. Think about how lucky you are safe and sound in the comfort of your home with an education that can achieve you anything you’ve ever want.

Bullying:

Everyone has experienced bullying once in their lifetime whether at school or at work. Bullying can really lower ones self esteem as that’s it purpose. Bullying can come in many forms, if it hurts your feeling then it counts as bullying. Try to build a shield around yourself, anything designed to hurt your feelings just gets rebound. Remember – harsh comments only become true when you make them true. If someone is being a bitch and is bitching about you then don’t try to bitch about them as-well, this will only make you just as bad as they are. The only reason why their bitching about you is because they want to look superior against someone that they know has no confidence because they think they can trample all over you. There’s a chance that their being bullied and they want to take out all their doubt in themselves on someone else to make them selves look good. Remember if it continues try to stand up for yourself, believe in yourself and tell someone you can trust because then your not on your own.

I hope this article has helped just remember – YOU ARE UNIQUE IN EVERY WAY!!!

Best of luck

Linda Burfield Hazzard was a woman who bestowed upon herself the title of Doctor  with a specialty as a  fasting specialist. She published a book in 1908 titled, Fasting For The Cure Of Disease, It promoted fasting as a cure for  every ailment, including most types of cancer. She also started a “sanitarium” Called Wilderness Heights were her patients  fasted for days, weeks or months, on a diet of very small amounts of tomato and asparagus juice and occasionally, a small teaspoon of orange juice. though some of her patients survived, many died of starvation.  Over 40 victims are known about but it is believed that there are many more Whose bodies were thrown off the near by cliffs into the Puget Sound.

 Linda Burfield Hazzard

The locals living in the area referred to the sanatorium as Starvation Heights. Ms. Hazzard claimed that her methods were a panacea for all types of disease because the “fasting” cleaned the body of all unhealthy toxins.

 The patients at Wilderness Heights Sanitarium were very wealthy and were convinced that the fasting was the cure for what ailed them. The problem with all this was the wealthier they were the more apt they were to starve to death but not before Hazzard was able to forge or coerce a will from them leaving their wealth to her.

 The case that finally got caught up with her was the starvation death of Claire Williamson, a wealthy British woman, who weighed less than 50 pounds at the time of her death. At the trial in 1912 Hazzard was convicted of manslaughter. It was proven that she had forged a will giving her the wealth of Claire Williamson. Claire’s Expensive jewelry and luxurious clothing where all moved into Hazzards closets and she relished wearing the clothing and jewelry that she had kiled to get her hands on.

Claire and Dora Williamson

 Claire’s sister Dora, was also a victim of Hazzards at “Starvation Heights”. The sisters had arrived at the sanitarium in 1911 to undergo the revolutionary fasting treatment. It was supposed to be a vacation of sorts for the wealthy heiresses but with about 30 day’s both women were emaciated and in horrible pain as death was approaching them.

 Though Claire succumbed to the starvation, Dora survived. She weighed about 60 LBS. when she was rescued by a relative after Claire Died.

 When Dora first wanted to leave the sanitarium, Linda Burfield Hazzard tried to have Dora declared insane and force her to remain in Olalla permanently. Which would have given her complete control over both shares of the wealthy sisters fortune.

 An investigation into what was happening at the sanitarium was brought on by British Vice Consul C.E. Lucien Agassiz’s outrage into the death of Claire and the commitment of Dora to the guardianship of Hazzard.

Consul Agassiz put together a long list of patients who had died while under Dr. Hazzards fasting cure. Death certificates of sanitarium patients issued by doctors other than Linda Hazzard usually stated starvation as the cause of death. Those made out by Linda Hazzard, however, always listed a variety of ailments as cause of death.  and she made it her practice to be the one performing any autopsies. In fact she performed the autopsy on Claire Williamson naming the cause of death as cirrhosis. the subterfuge was just to blatent to be ignored.

 After being convicted, Hazzard was sentenced to 2 to 20 years in prison. She served actually only 2 years of the sentence.

Ironically, Some years later Linda Burfield Hazzard starved to death while trying out one of her own fasts that she had used on so many unsuspecting people.

It is believed that cooking foods above 45 degrees Celsius (110-120 Fahrenheit), they lose their enzymes and many of the nutrients that can assist in digestion and absorption of food. At the same time, the cooking process reduces the nutritional value and “life force” of food.

Ideally, consume at least 75% raw foods at every meal in your daily diet. Some may prefer to perform a system based solely on these foods, but it would be best to start simply by including some raw foods in the menus.

Benefits of Raw Food Diet

Proponents of raw food diet believe it has numerous health benefits, among them we highlight:

• Increased energy levels.
• Improved skin appearance.
• Improved digestion.
• Weight loss.
• Reduced risk of heart disease.

The raw food diet contains fewer trans fats and saturated than typical Western diets. It is also lower in sodium and rich in potassium, magnesium, folate, fiber, and chemical promoters of good health known as phytochemicals.

There are stories about very sick people who managed to reverse their condition by changing your diet to one composed mostly of raw foods, of course, there must be something very good indeed for unprocessed foods.

These diets can significantly improve the quality of life, preventing disease and helping to solve some for which traditional medicine still has no answer.

Here are answers to all your questions about the raw food diet.

What I can eat?

Unprocessed foods, whole, preferably organic. For example:

• Fresh fruits and vegetables
• Nuts
• seeds
• Beans
• Grains
• Legumes
• Dried fruits
• Seaweeds
• natural or unprocessed foods
• Fruits and vegetables
• Purified water
• Coconut milk
At least 75% of food consumed should not be heated above 45 degrees Celsius.

What cooking techniques are used?

Specific cooking techniques make foods more digestible and add variety to the diet, these are:

• Germinate seeds, grains, and beans.
• Make fruit and vegetable juice.
• Soak nuts or dried fruit.
• Mix food.
• Dehydrate food.

What equipment I can use?

• A dehydrator, a piece of equipment that blows air through the food to a temperature below 45 degrees Celsius.
• A juice extractor good quality to make fruit and vegetable juice.
• Blender or food processor.
• Large glass containers for soaking seeds, sprouts, grains and beans.
• Bottles for storing sprouts and other foods.

Side Effects

Some people experience a detoxification reaction when you start the raw food diet, especially if they come from diets rich in meat, sugar and caffeine.

Headaches, nausea, and anxiety are among the most common symptoms and usually disappear within a few days.
Precautions

The raw food diet could be appropriate for certain people, such as:

• Guys.
• Pregnant or lactating.
• People with anemia.
• People at risk of osteoporosis. A study by the University of Washington found that people who follow the raw food diet had lower bone mass, however, the rate of recovery of bone mass was similar to that of the group that took an average American diet.

It takes a considerable investment of time, energy and commitment to stay healthy during the raw food diet.

Many foods are made from scratch, and last but not least, some ingredients may be hard to find, such as enzyme or water rejuvelac (a fermented beverage produced from wheat germ) commonly used in foods.

You need to know that certain nutritional deficiencies can occur following the raw food diet, among these deficiencies, include:

• Calcium
• Iron
• Vitamin B12 – A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that raw food diet increased the levels of homocysteine ​​due to vitamin B12 deficiency.
• Protein
• Calories

The biggest critics of this diet claim that it is true that some enzymes are inactivated when food is cooked, it does not really matter because the body uses its own enzymes for digestion.

Also, certain types of food cooking makes some phytochemicals easier to absorb, such as beta carotene in carrots.

Another criticism is often that the body has had to change in response to eating cooked food.

Some of these changes can be seen in the teeth and jaws have shrunk in our stomachs have shrunk, or small intestine has been extended (lengthening the digestive surface area).

According to the theories of other food choices, such as the macrobiotic diet, Ayurveda or traditional Chinese medicine, raw food diet may not be suitable for people living in cold climates or for individuals with certain features of formation.

In a documentary type style channel four are creating a 7 episode series based on the inside of the elusive ‘Premier’ model agency in London. So far we are only three episodes in, but can already see the pressure the model industry puts on young girls as one booker asked for a girl with 31 inch hips! The ‘characters’ are forever jetting off to New York and bitching about one another, in front and behind backs. Although they are aware they are being filmed they are relentless at bad mouthing one another, often being the most dramatic and exciting part of the show.

What the show does do is give us an insight into the model world, beyond the tiny waists and perfect faces of our deceived perceptions we have from the glossy magazines. Moreover, it also portrays an unglorified view on model life as some work for thousands and others for nothing, with the pressure of staying stick thin and spot-free threaded through most of the model’s lives.

As we are only three shows in it is unfair to judge it too harshly as many critics have and in my opinion there is without a doubt an entertaining element to it especially with all the drama following John and the other colleagues’ in the episode three.

So the only thing we can do is to stay tuned and see what other scandals blow up over the coming weeks!

 You can catch ‘The Model Agency’ online on 4od, YouTube or SeeSaw.

Now think of practical ways to solve this, i.e loosing weight, making some extra money, doing some brain teasers, or whatever. Let’s look at a specific example, a kid is constantly being harassed by his high-school peers, for being poor. Truth: his dad lost his job and he can only afford generic foods and clothing. Solution: He should work his ass off, get into a good college, and make a successful person of himself, simple. 

Frankly to get revenge you need to work hard, you need to achieve, you can do this method or which is the best because not only are you proving somebody wrong you’re making them jealous. It isn’t bittersweet it’s just sweet, deliciously sweet like honey, or sugar, or ice cream, or 

Many times now, and it seems to be on the rise, whilst out-and-about mingling in my local watering hole, I have been shoved aside and barged into by women of smaller proportions (and when I say smaller proportions, that usually means that they are not-so smaller proportioned in the height department) in the race to the bar and also just simply standing around enjoying my drink with my friends. Bathroom lines, scornful looks, the list goes on. Which leads me to ask the following burning questions: am I a target for being “normal”? And am I alone in this unusual kind of drive-by bullying?

I’m not saying that all tiny women are lowering themselves to this kind of childish behaviour (lil’ nice ladies I know you’re out there, I used to be one of you!), but what ever happened to the glamour of being a curvaceous cutey like the tragically fabulous Marilyn Monroe, who herself was a member of the 14-ers club? I had hope and admiration for some latter-day beauties such as Scarlett Johansson, Kate Winslet and even a pre-’Friends’ era Jennifer Aniston, but it seems that the pressure of Hollywood has gotten to them too.

The average size for women in the UK and Ireland is a 16 (which I find extremely hard to believe because it seems that everywhere I go women are even more-so resembling paper dolls), so that’s a little perk for me I guess considering my closest gal-pals range from sizes 8-12. But most people would stop me right there and say, “why don”t you quit complaining about being the heaviest and do something about it?’

My boyfriend often tells me that my derrière is his favourite part of me (of course he means to say my sparkling blue eyes, my hair or my delicious personality…) and sure it would feel nice to have a flat stomach, tiny thighs and perky B breasts, but where’s the fun in that? Aside from the occasional mental and physical abuse from members of the Skinny Girls United Nations, the point is: men love something to grab on to. And that my friends, is something that skinny girls around the globe would kill for.

Social Issues Research Center, Barnard/Columbia Women’s Handbook and Jennifer Warner’s Women’s Body Issues Research studies how the standards of female beauty have become considerably high and inflexible over the past decade. Social Issues Research Center correspondent, Kate Fox, explains that this standard of beauty has been derived from the images of the “ideal” face and figure women come across in fashion magazines. This article claims that young women now see more images of perfect, beautiful women in one day than what their mothers witnessed throughout their entire adolescence.

This information is similar to the other two articles, as they all generate the same idea that fashion magazines have negative effects on women’s body image. Both the Social Issues Research Center and Barnard/Columbia Women’s Handbook, for example, states that today’s model weighs 23% below the national average, compare to 25 years ago, where the average model weighed 8% less than the average American woman. Jennifer Warner also made comparisons on earlier and current studies regarding female body issues. She declares that previous studies have shown that images of skinny models negatively affect how overweight women and those with eating disorders view their own bodies.

However, she also states that a new study has been proven that all women are equally and negatively affected by looking at models in fashion magazines. The valid points that are mentioned in Jennifer Warner’s article are therefore related to the information cited on the last two articles, proving that fashion magazines definitely affects body image of the female population.

Comparing Information, Facts, and Statistics

Although the general information presented in these articles is similar, there are also differences between the three. Social Issues Research Centre, for example, has statistical information on female body image from different countries like Sweden, Japan and America. In America alone, 81% of ten-year-old girls had already dieted at least once. Sweden, on the other hand has 25% of 7-year-old girls dieting to lose weight. Lastly, in Japan, 41% of elementary school girls thought that they were too fat. The validity of this article is more significant compare to the other two, where statistics and facts are very limited.

In addition, Jennifer Warner’s article also differs to the other articles, where a published study was made, examining a group of young college women and their feelings after looking at images of models in magazines for up to 3 minutes. This study is a very resourceful primary research compares to the others because it proves first-hand that all women who have viewed the models in magazines dropped in their level of satisfaction with their own bodies.

Women and Fashion Magazines Go Hand in Hand

Overall, the information given in these three different articles concludes that women and fashion magazines do relate with one another. The message that magazines send out to females around the world affects them negatively, causing a drop in self-esteem and self-worth. Today, women suffer many types of unhealthy habits, from obsessive exercises, binge eating, starvation, and even sometimes, extreme behaviors leading to anorexia or bulimia.
