Lauren ~ This is profound and wise words... you are paying attention to your Higher Voice ~ You are so much more than your body but to also appreciate what your body actually does.. it is amazing! It tells you what you need to know, deep inner workings of the physical you manifest for you to know what your to take care of internally. You are wonderful to witness and its awesome your so open and exposed with your healing journey. You are helping others! Namaste'

Great realization Lauren! I don't have eating problems, well, my eating problem is that I want to eat but I am lazy to exercise and I have a hard time saying no to food that's all hahaha, but this realization of yours makes a lot of sense even for those of us who don't have eating disorders, but are in a constant battle with self image. Thanks for sharing all your thoughts and for opening up like you have.

That is beautiful :) It is amazing when we figure that aspect of life out isn't it? :)

[drummergreg1616]

Lauren. Isn't it so freeing? I recently had this realization as well. Since then I feel so liberated. You are beautiful, the physical you and the REAL you. Like you kinda said, the REAL you is learning from your body. So rather than reject your body and hate it, love it for the opportunity it gives you to learn. I'd like to hear from you. Thanks.

I love this. It's very inspirational to someone who is also trying to recover.

[memyselfandiamshe]

This is very psilosophical. You are very inspirational! You are so right about this, I have never thought of it before, it really changes perspective.

[Divachik1390]

wow. the power behind those words is just..... wow.

[lesliesjoy]

I have been watching all your videos for the past few days. I have followed you, hoping to see that you have made improvements; cried with you, laughed with you, noticed your weight loss, your happiness and your sadness. Your words in this video in particular will stay with me forever. I think I'll have to watch this over and over. I SO TOTALLY GET what you are saying!! Thank you so much for your insight and for sharing with all of us your journey to recovery. Stay strong Lauren and God bless.

[TIBS2006]

I am not my body either...hate my body...need to stop hating my soul too.

Thank you so much for your words!

This is really insightful Lauren. I can crtainly relate, and I am sure many others do. This connection bewtween hungering for love, or withdrawing from love. Recovery, food, weight changes, are all about a mental issue. EDs are a mental disorder, and yet, the way we use our body to cope, makes it all about the body. You are Lauren, a whole, a complete being. With love Rache xxx

Thank you! I am so happy you are doing so well!

[waterandapples]

I've read/heard about this sort of moment of clarity happening. I'm jealous and so so happy for you, I wish I could get my brain to feel the same way.

[myumikaneko]

Very true, I'm in recovery too and going through the same shit.

you're beautiful and amazing, keep strong!

[sleestack808]

weird, you are really pretty. You have to get over what your mind sees and reality.

[sleestack808]

Im experienced in this area. It took me years to get over loosing my hair. Yes, guys have issues too. I thought my life was over. I got obsessive over it. Wore a hat everywhere. Eventually couldn't look into mirrors. Removed all the mirrors in my house. It was awful. Checking, rechecking. Classical ocd. I needed professional help. Im totally ok with it now, but it took a lot of mental chess and some hard lessons.

[TheLipstickhippie]

=D This is really lovely Lauren, you've so got it!! Once I started to love myself and be confident in who I was more people started to love me!! try taking evening primrose oil, this really helped me with depression! <3

[AngeloftheNight2386]

Wow...that is amazing!!! You just gave me something to think about for myself. Thanks for posting dear.

[lilkel86]

Lauren you are amazing <3

[weasalw]

You might not like your body but it's beautiful. The 'you' inside is also beautiful.
