What are your thoughts about the effects of these serious eating disorders - especially the long-term effects that many people do not think of. Please blog (on blogger) some of your thoughts - you do not have to be specific and include names, but perhaps this will help you gather some thoughts
My thoughts on eating disorders are that it makes me sad...I wish that people did not ever have to go through anything like that however, our society is very responsible for people that are going through eating disorders I think that the society tells us we need to look a certain way and that certain way happens to be skinny, pretty, sleek and beautiful. I wish that our world view on this would change...However I do love the Dove campain that has started a couple years ago that figured real sized women in just there underware in bras and focused on people being happy with the way there body is. I think that our society needs more campains like Doves to provide positive ways for women to look at their bodies.

What I have done for personal wellness....
Well I have recently got my wisdom teeth out and with that I have decided to start eating healthier and with the group that I am in "Spirituality" I have made a goal to read the bible everyday for at least 15 mins and start going to church regularly sadly this has been kind of hard for me at times but when I do take the time to read the bible I feel so much better about myself and my day seems to go better! When I get stressed out I try to talk to someone about my stress and let it all out or joural it really seems to work out well for me. My personal wellness at this point seems to be doing pretty well. =)

Personal Growth
What have you done in terms of “personal growth” lately?
Well for my groups class we have been having discussions on stress manegement we have taken turns leading groups and also participating in groups we have been working on reducing out stress, finding ways to help reduce our stress and lots of other fun things. I have fallen out of the work outs that I was doing regularly this summer. However, I am starting to get back in to the excersing routine. I am also making a goal for myself to start getting back in to my religous faith by going to church regularly and reading the bible.

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are" - Kurt Cobain
"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are" - Kurt Cobain
I really enjoy this quote many times people are so focused on trying to be perfect and want to be accepted by others. Sometimes they loose focus of who they really are as a person and what they really want to accomplish as a person. Many times people like how someone is or how there life is they want there life to be just like that. However little do we know sometimes the people we want to be like are not that happy after all or do not have that great of a life as it may seem. I think it is important to focus on the person you want to be and accomplish that goal. We as a society need to quit focusing so much of our energy on others but more on our self and see the things that we are doing as good as well. There was a time in my life that I was so focused on trying to be a certain way or act a certain way because I wanted to be like this certain person. I soon realized that I was unhappy channeling so much energy into something that wasn't really the real me. I then began doing things the way that I Ashley Bierman would do things and my life began to open new doors that I didn't think could open and overall I became a much happier person.
