Problems of a bookworm! :)
I'm like that every time it comes to choosing, I love having a big To read pile, until it comes to that moment.

I haven't read either, but I've seen Seraphine being discussed a lot.

[Greta]

Just finished a book, have two books I could finish but am kind of bored with, or maybe I should just start something new.....

Don't you hate that feeling, Greta?

[Greta]

Sarah wrote: "Don't you hate that feeling, Greta?"

Yes, and it happens to me all the time! That's why I usually have several books on my currently reading shelf at the same time.

[[deleted user]]

Me too. Feeling that way right now ugh!!!

I've read Seraphina.
I didn't like it, but most of my GR friends did.
I hope you enjoy it more than i did. :)

[Tati]

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

I have decided to read Rivers of London, as I've had it the longest (a month, more or less).

I don't really like the Tokyo Drift one.

[Mishma]

Well,I need your help guys.Can anyone suggest me a great theme for a meeting?I have to organize one at school.

[kirstin ✿]

Mishma, me too! Haven't had time to watch them but I really love action movies.

So some of you know about my eating disorder (it's getting better though, I have gained about seven and a half pounds out of the twenty eight i have to to be on the start of the "healthy range".), just as everything seemed to be getting better...things changed. I got called fat again three weeks ago by some jerks and I didn't eat for nine days straight. I was angry, and upset, but turned everything toward myself. I felt like I was trapped inside this little box that I couldn't get out of. My counsler said I am dealing with depression, which is scary for me.

I am happy that I can share this kind of news with you guys and not be judged. Thank you, I love you, Goodreads family! XOXO

[Tati]

Sarah, that's why I absolutely hate people who have nothing good to say to/about other people. Hell, they don't know what is happening and have no idea how their words can actually hurt.

As for being angry and upset, it's perfectly normal (I'd be too), but you really should avoid keeping that for yourself. If you don't want to talk about it, how about writing? I also have some difficulties dealing with feelings (this has cost me so much, including three days in the hospital). I learned that writing about it would help, and it would still be secret, in a way.

You have my admiration and my respect just for fighting against it!

Thanks Tatiana. I have been meeting with a psychologist outside of school, and she told me to start writing down everything too. It's going to get better, but it's just going to take some time.

If people care about things like physical appearance, and find they need to judge people who don't look perfect to them, then they aren't the type who deserve for you to try and impress.

Everyone has some part of their body the don't like, and if the only way for them to feel better about themselves is too belittle someone else. Then they need help themselves.

As the saying goes "Those who mind don't matter, and those that matter, don't mind." So next time someone calls you something, remind yourself that you are beautiful, and you are getting through this.

We're all here for you. :)

Thanks Abbie. Ya, the people are total idiots anyway, so I don't know why I have let them get to me. Thanks for the support! <3

Me too! it's a good thing my brother (for god knows why) doesn't like pringles!! ;)

Sarah, do try and report back!! and if you ever need to bitch about anything, just send me a message!! I'm glad you gained some pounds, but don't stop eating ever again! For me eating is the most pleasant thing in my life (of course it has to taste good) and I just don't care what people say!! I'd much rather be fat and happy than sad and skinny. And always remember, beauty isn't how you look or how expensive and fashionable cloths you wear...it's how you feel and how you treat everyone. If you feel beautiful from inside, no one can stop you.

And forget those jerks! They are just jealous that they can't enjoy food like we normal people do, so they took their frustration out on you! stupid, tastebud less people!I wish I could smother them with a muffin! May be then they would get it!

I've rambled a lot because eating is a touchy issue for me. I love to eat and I'm overweight (it's medical fact) and frankly, my extended family isn't very polite about it. I'm the fat ugly person in a family full of supermodel like skinny and beautiful people, but I would not change a thing. I'm me and I'm unique, overweight or not and I believe it with my whole heart. I hope, someday you'll believe it too, that you are unique and only one and no one can be like you. So fight. fight till you believe that. And you have all of us with you till that stage. But don't stop eating. And next time someone tells you fat, tell them to go to a pizza shop and eat a slice of pizza full of cheese, not that diet crap and then report back to you.Then we will see how they control themselves!

Keep fighting, girl!

[Abi]

Samia, I'm the same. At school, people called me AbiWhale. (My name's Abigail.) It got to me alot.
All my cousins are super thin, and they always look at me like i'm something disgusting they just stepped in.
I lost some weight, but i didn't feel any better for it. I didn't feel happier, they still looked at me like that, So in the end i thought "Why am i trying to impress them? If they don't like me for me, and they can't see past the extra weight then why should i care?" So now i don't care about what other people say.
I feel ALOT better changing my mind about that stuff, than losing the weight.

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Abbie and Samia! So happy I have people I can talk to about this!

And Samia-I probably will need to get some bitching out, so be prepared!!! I think you're beautiful, inside and out!!!
