Depression and Your Poor Diet: Proof That Bad Food Creates a Bad Mood {That's Fit Canada}

Jun 18th 2010 9:21PM Depression has so many causes and "cure's". The claim that by eliminating processed food and fast foods people will notice substantial elevation in mood is not fact nor scientifically valid. Doug, with respect, I respect your opinion, however I lean more on the side of consulting a doctor and or mental health specialist before influencing people to think that depression could be a considerable factor "scientifically proven" cause (or contributing factor) for depression.
I think it is wonderful for you to confront and inform people of the harms of eating processed and fast foods. Yet many people many take what you say and think that by not eating those types of feed they may decrease the suffering of those who have been diagnosed with depression or oddly cure their depression.

Can Buddhism Help Heal Your Broken Heart? {That's Fit Canada}

Feb 14th 2010 2:45AM Buddism healed my soul even as a devout Christian.

During a time when my on and off fiancee broke things off, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the country Bhutan. I visited to several cities and went on a glorious 30 km trek through the mountains visiting Monasteries that were so amazing I cannot even describe the beauty that surrounded me.
However
My heart was aching within me so deeply. I knew it was finally OVER. That sadness would wash over me over and over again when I would turn to say something to and he was not there.

The air of peace and healing I felt entering these sacred grounds helped me by meditating on how to let go of the man I once loved. I was extremely respectful of the Bhuddist culture that I began to try and learn the chants and the drum beats. I was a bit off, but everyone around me showed appreciation for my attempts - except for a few young monks who giggled whenever i spoke. I did not realize the subtle transition happening within me.
One afternoon as the staff at our hotel was fixing dinner, I joined them to hear stories about their lives. As we sat and talked I noticed a very old women who could not speak english praying in the far back of the room next the the fireplace. My eyes were drawn to hers. I felt that she could feel my pain and I was silently hoping that she was praying for me to heal. The sadness in my eyes was obvious, and she could see it.
I eventually walked over and sat next to her and listened to her chant. She smiled at me and I held out my hands to hold hers. She took me hands and pulled me in and hugged me. I felt as if was going to cry and needed to leave so be alone. I thanked her and stood up to leave, when suddenly I looked down at my hand and saw my useless however still attached to my finger engagement
ring. I took it of my finger and gave the ring to this kind and gentle women who had set me free.
I spent two more days at this hotel. I was the place I needed to be to let go. The buddist way of life may not be my spiritual base. however it was the combined faith of a higher power or higher sense of being that saved my broken heart.

GuySpeak/GirlSpeak -- From Booty Call to Boyfriend? {Lemondrop}

Dec 29th 2009 7:30PM Being the booty call girl with a single guy and/or a married man will never ever become a pure and respectful relationship.
I was the secret girlfriend or OW... now I am his wife.
On the positive side, I feel less of a winner of HIM, but a champion of enduring whatever it took to become his wife without disrespecting their privacy during the divorce process. After participating in a sinful night with him (sex), I made it clear that I would not see him or talk to him again until he left his wife. He did, 3 years later.
The bad side to the booty call OW becoming the wife situation is that it is very hard to tell other's how we met. We wonder how we will explain to our son when he is older the truth about our adulterous start.

In this day and age, married or not. There are clearly booty calls and people who are wanting a relationships. Pick which one you want and seek the person who shares the same values.

Your 'Uncommon' Baby Name Is Everywhere {ParentDish}

Sep 27th 2009 3:38AM My son has a very unique name. His name is Fargo.

Most people say that his name is really interesting and like it. I do get asked often why I choose that name and long story short : It reminds my husband and I of the place we got married, where i went to college and where he was conceived (the mid-west).
