That is very true... under 1000 calories is a severe starvation diet for
most people, and under 500 is madness. Bacchae wrote: "* I M M O R T A L I T Y *" wrote in message ... Supprt to help them realise they are strong enough to overcome the illness really. Not to promote it at all.. Thats terrible that people can think that *shudder* No thankfully i dont have that disease. In that case, how come you say the following in your auction? "The Counting Bracelet is wonderful if you are trying to keep track of your calories dureing the day. There are 20 larger sized beads, meaning if your trying to keep under 1000 calories, for every 50 calories that you eat, you may then move the charm over one bead. (If your trying to stick to under 500 calories then each bead represents 25 calories." To me, if you were supportive of those trying to overcome the disease you would want them to try to keep *over* 1000 calories. Why on earth would anyone want to "stick under 500 calories" unless they were anorexic? - Sandy -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com |

From reading your auctions more carefully, I am having a very hard time
believing your statement about your motives. It seems very clear that you are promoting eating disorders. * I M M O R T A L I T Y * wrote: the 500 calories, is a lot more than what many are eating as it is, so by upping it to 500 its a better plan, that having 100 - 200 cals. Many people i know through the support group my friend went to before she passed away, see them as a step in the recovery. Barbara, thank you for the condolences, its really difficult. But i souround myself with many kind people that care, and it helps :-) "Stephanie" wrote in message ups.com... if you were supportive of those trying to overcome the disease you would want them to try to keep *over* 1000 calories.

Hey Stephanie, Thats true i guess, i just hope more are useing it positivly.
I charge them on amythyst crystals to give the sufferers extra strenth to heal. "Stephanie" wrote in message oups.com... I guess it is one of those things that can be used positively or negatively. |

Hey Kalera,
Its good you understand sweetie :-) i would never harm a fly, in fact i would probably heal them on a rose quartz crystal lol. :-) "Kalera Stratton" wrote in message ... OK, I understand better now. There is a LOT of underground support for people to maintain anorectic behavior, and I feared that your auctions were part of that. I'm VERY GLAD they're not... but you might specify that more clearly in the auctions, as practicing anas might buy your bracelets imagining a kind of support that is opposite your intent. * I M M O R T A L I T Y * wrote: Supprt to help them realise they are strong enough to overcome the illness really.

Thats terrible that people can think that *shudder* No thankfully i dont have that disease. :-) I hope to help those that do as my friend died from it -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com |

Thanks. I find it more of a balance. I really tune into my inner self and
try to listen and understand my feelings. And understand why I feel the way I do. And I know it is OK to be sad or feel down one day. And just because I do, doesn't mean the rest of my entire life is going to fall apart because I had a bad day one day. Just wake up the next day and choose to be happy. Life is about choices. And I am now trying to make good, positive ones. My whole life has changed since February. I really feel like it is going in the right direction. I have never been happier. If anyone does need to talk I am here! Just Email ME. I love to write people all the time. THanks Amy http://www.empressbeads.com "Kalera Stratton" wrote in message ... I don't think it's TMI; I think it's awesome that you can talk about it, and I hope that it helps others to hear of your winning battle. It takes a lot of strength to fight an eating disorder. Empress Beads wrote: This is serious. Doing a quick google search I also found a website that she posts too. With the same or similar bracelets. I can't tell if she is looking for help or justification. Being a former Ana. It is hard and you want to keep it a secret. I can't imagine wanting praise for what you are doing. I constantly felt like crap and for some reason enjoyed that. When things start getting out of control eating is one thing you can control. Once I cried for two hours trying to make myself eat a pop tart. I think Ana has more to do with depression and control than anything to do with eating. I often will find my self slipping back into non-eating. I just don't think about it. So I can see where a person might want a reminder to eat. OK my two cents. Probably TMI (too much info) -Amy http://www.empressbeads.com "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message oups.com... Im not sure if this group is active or not, looks like everyone spams here.. ?? Any real people ? Is this serious, or a joke? -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com |
