Hello Happiers! I’d like to share this article I found posted on The Mighty! Though I may not be able to relate with an eating disorder but I can relate on a level with having struggled with self esteem. And being so shameful of my body figure.

I hated that I had a muffin top and I wanted badly enough to lose it but that didn’t last long… Though I still have hope, even regardless of gaining 8lbs from lacking a stable diet.

Though I’m feeling a lot better mentally and more energized as well as just feeling more able to speak more and not be as emotional and numb like I was for 2+ months.

As I have explained after coming home from my appointment with Dr. Kao! Anyway, check out the link below and comment your thoughts, insights and your opinions and experiences with self esteem and eating disorders…

I want you to choose who you truly are. And where you truly belong, not on a while. Not because you wish you were someone you’re not, but because you honestly know yourself. I want you to choose wisely and I know you will. ~ Jeanine Mathews

You want a better future? A better world? A better life? Well start working towards that. Dreams don’t work unless you do!

You wanna create the future, start by reading the words to this scenario and encouraging speech made by David Nix from Tomorrowland (movie) and see where our reality, our society, generation and century is right now, and what you suggest doing to start:

Let’s imagine: if you glimpse the future, you were frightened by the future, what would you do with that information? You would go to politicians, captains of industry: how would you convince them with data, facts. Good luck. Any facts they won’t challenge, they keep the wheels greased and the dollars rolling in. But what if there was a way of skipping the middle man and putting the critical news right in everyone’s head.

The probability of widespread annihilation kept going up. The only way to stop was to show it. To scare people straight. What reasonable human being would be galvanize by the potential destruction of everything they’ve ever known or loved. To save civilization, I would show its collapse. But how do you think this vision was received? How do you think people responded to the prospect of imminent doom?

They gobbled it up in a chocolate eclair. They didn’t fear their demise, they repackaged it. It can be enjoyed as video games, tv shows, books, movies, the entire world, whole-heartedly embraced the apocalypse. But sprinted towards with gleeful abandon. Meanwhile your earth was crumbling all around you. Civil ten years epidemics of obesity and starvation, explain that one?

Bees and butterflies start to disappear, the glaciers melt, the algae glooms, all around you, the calamine canaries are dead and you won’t take the hint. In every moment there is a possibility of a better future, but you people won’t believe it. And because you won’t believe it, you won’t do what is necessary to make it a reality. So you dwell on this whole terrible future, you resign yourselves to it. One reason because that future doesn’t ask anything of you today. So yes you saw the iceberg, you were on the Titanic, but you all just steered for it full steam ahead. Why? Because you want to sink. You gave up. It’s not the monitor’s fault, that’s yours.

“Make sure you don’t start seeing yourself through the eyes of people who don’t value you. Know your worth even if they don’t.” ~ Unknown
