I use to think that healing yourself on the inside was easier because as we all know books, magazines, TV, internet, etc. portrays us humans as an image (perfect body, hair, skin, teeth, etc - which is stuff IMHO) we should strive for. I don't even care what other people think about me but if you have inner-lining (inside) problems it is or can be a struggle to heal yourself. Opinions????............. Why Vegan?

Date: October 30, 2006 11:02PM I certainly think the two are reflective....but the difficulty waxes and wanes with attitude. What I mean is: For those that are very depressed, obviously the answer is inner. For those whose circumstances seem bleek their answer is the outer. If I had to wager an opinion, for most folks I would say inner.

Date: October 31, 2006 12:26AM what do u mean by inner and outer?
i thought that what u do in the inside affects the outside? correct me if i'm wrong for example, if one eats junk the outside may reflect that if one thinks junky thoughts then it is reflected in ones words and actions if one eats good stuff that may be reflected by good health inside and outside if one thinks great thoughts that is reflected in thoughts actions or maybe i'm from a different planet?

Most people are a combo of good and bad features, both internal and external. But some people have an inner glow that infuses them with beauty beyond the standard appearance measures. Re: Is it harder to make yourself better on the...

Date: October 31, 2006 08:28PM I think the general consensus is that people want to look good on the outside but there's a few people like me who want to feel the best on the inside.
la_veronique, I like how you carefully chose your words "for example, if one eats junk the outside may reflect that", "may reflect". There are so many people who can literally eat junk food all there lives with no affects or consequences. I'll use a couple friends as example, one who seriously eats T-bone steak 3 times (breakfast,lunch & dinner) a day 5 days a week. Another just eats candy/junk food 24/7 everyday of the week. They both looked as if they were extremely healthy. Neither ever really exercise but are thin. Re: Is it harder to make yourself better on the...

But they start diverging after that, based on their genotypes and lifestyles. Check them out when they are over 45. Like my friends who do the same as what you describe above. In a word: Ugh!

Date: November 13, 2006 11:21PM Does anyone get the Sunday's newspaper?
If so, do look at or read the free Parade magazine that comes with the paper? The little article on Jay Leno (Issue 12, 2006 * Page 5 * right paragraph) is exactly what I'm talking about. Jay, clearly states he's never eaten a salad or even ate a vegetable since 1969. Now I know he doesn't look healthy, but he proclaims he doesn't have any health problems and feels good. Jay, "I eat a lot of junk food like pizza, haburgers and hot dogs". I don't know how old he is but I'm betting late 50's. Kind of back to why if a lot of us eat really healthy but see/get problems but someone like him no problems. I still believe some people are truly luckier than others, meaning they can eat what ever they want with no worries..... Why Vegan?

Date: November 25, 2006 03:09AM I've found the hardest thing to change is your mindset. It takes determination to make changes to ones own nature or routine. Thinking in a different way is difficult, that's why support is so key..the knowldege you gain from listening to others experiences.
About Jay Leno..we don't know anything about what is going on inside his body, or his brain..hopefully he is health inside and out..but the odds don't favor that being fact. Love, Prism Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
