Life Update! 11/06/09

Hey friends, get out your cups because Johnny's got the juice freshly flowing! I wanted to give you all a little check in on what's been going on in my life: recovery progress and process, spiritual maturity, God's guidance, upcoming nutrient IV treatment (starts tomorrow and will be done on a once a week basis for the next 10 weeks), replacing ED rituals with religious and personal enrichment activities, health topics, faith, new video series ideas and my holiday prevention planning playlist is back up for the season!

Feel free to comment and let me know how you are doing too. It's only fair to share and I care! : D

Recommended Bible Readings according to phrases used in this video:

*Dry Bones* Read Ezekiel 37, entire chapter. It's a powerful passage that will be sure to move you!

*Lean Not On Your Own Understanding* Read Proverbs 3 (specifically verse 5)

[sublimelmf]

oh....my......goodness...

that sounds awesome haha

And i'm having trouble leaving a comment on your page, I tried like 4 times and it keeps saying there's an error... unless there really isn't an error and you just received 4 comments from me lol

[MyOwnStickFigure]

maybe it can have a rainbow of fruits and veggies on it in various colored gemstones, smile

I am the same way about raw food, however I don't always hold my tongue. One thing i am good at though is owning up so thank you for the response and your comments are always welcome! Pfft, I will now crown you Miss Know It All in the most respectful and pleasant of ways. What color do you want your crown to be? I will bejewel it like crazy!

[sublimelmf]

No worries Johnny, you have a lot going on right now in your life so you're allowed to be crabby sometimes! haha i can relate in some ways. When I tell people I'm vegetarian, people that know i study nutrition, they lecture me on protein, etc. I have to bite my tongue because i want to say "i think I know a little more about nutrition than you do..." but that would sound horrible and cocky so i hold it in. But it's all good, expect more comments from me... whether you want them or not :-P

[MyOwnStickFigure]

So please, keep posting. Others will benefit and I always have room to learn more. Let's share together in unity. I am sorry I got defensive, crabby and insensitive in response. If you see me do this in the future please help call it out, it's a defect of charcter I want to work on and will need help seeing it sometimes. I also do not want a competitive spirit and I was being competitive here like Mr and Mrs Know it All lol I hope you get these comments and know they are from my heart. I do care

[MyOwnStickFigure]

OMG, total therapy session right now lol SO i respond in defense so you don't think I'm stupid in nutrition. I got like four or five comments from you on videos so it was a built up of nutritional advice that I was already aware of and didn't want you to think I wasnt. To sum things up, I got triggered and it wasn't you and I do not want to seem ungrateful nor do I want to intimdate or discourage you from posting your well earned wisdom in nutrition.

[MyOwnStickFigure]

myself "how on earth would she know if I know or not... she is just trying to help" Bless you. In the moment though I felt challenged and intimidated by the fact that you seemed just as educated on these topics.I wasn't sure if you were a student of nutrition but I have a lot of guilt over having to leave school for health purposes so then I got jealous over the idea of someone in school for nutrition and suceeding in it.

[MyOwnStickFigure]

I'm sorry but I can't let this slide. I have to say something and it's going to take like 4 comments to do so. After I posted my response I thought about how cocky I sounded and what my intentions were. I want to appologize if I came across as cocky because of my pride in my background in nutrition. Healthy confidence is good, cockiness is not. here is what happened for me. I read your comment and my first thought, to be blunt, is "Oh shit, as if I didn't already know this..." then I asked -

[MyOwnStickFigure]

I just left you 2 comments about my previous one above but the comments are in one of my IV videos so I know you'll read them. I can tell you are very well educated and think it's so great you are learning nutrition too. You absorb what you learn well, I can tell. Bless you dear, keep posting whether I know it or not, others might not and will benefit. You can be their teacher!!!
