The Sister Scoop

Eating Disorders and Anxiety, Part Two

My first visit to Green Mountain at Fox Run (there have been 8 since) opened my eyes to a whole new perspective—an approach to weight loss and overall well-being that I had never previously considered. Are you ready for the big reveal? Here it is:

I know. It sounds ridiculous. How can you lose weight if you don’t diet? Actually, dieting sabotages weight loss. All diets are based on some form of caloric or food group restriction (Keto restricts carbs, Jenny Craig restricts calories, Fasting restricts everything, etc.) which announces to the brain YOU CAN’T HAVE THIS. Such a statement sets off a chain of processes guaranteed to wreak havoc on any diet. Psychologically speaking, whatever THIS is becomes the only thing we want. Which explains why cravings and food obsessions soon take over. And what does the body want when it is starving? Carbohydrates, which provide immediate energy. So, the longer we restrict, the more intense the cravings for exactly the foods we are trying to avoid.

The urge to eat is a biological imperative. Our bodies don’t know the difference between true famine and obsessive dieting. Both threaten survival!  So, if the body perceives that it is starving, it will first slow down metabolic processes (which slows down/halts weight loss) in order to preserve energy in the face of fuel scarcity. Also, and this is important for Anxiety Sisters who are chronic dieters, the body releases stress hormones in response to perceived starvation which increases anxiety levels. Skipping even one meal can set off this response in some women!

When we give in to physiologically-driven urges to eat, two things tend to happen: (1) we overeat in order to store energy for future “famines” and (2) we feel like failures. Cue more anxiety and possibly some depression.

Another piece of bad news: the more often we diet or restrict our fuel intake, the better we train our adaptive bodies to hold onto weight in order to generate an energy surplus. Discipline or “willpower” are no match for the human body! Is it really surprising, then, that nearly 95% of dieters weigh more than when they started a diet five years after the diet ends? Would you take a medication that didn’t work 95% of the time?

But wait—there’s more: if our physiological forces weren’t enough of an obstacle, the United States boasts a sixty-billion-dollar weight loss industry, which profits every time we “fall off” a diet. Again, we are no match for those who prey on the overweight woman, shamed and stigmatized by our culture, wanting so desperately to be accepted. Societal scripts can be so insidious.

It takes a while to buy into the Green Mountain philosophy because, first, you must be de-programmed from the idea, so deeply ingrained in our culture, that thinner is always better and that fat is a sign of laziness, weakness and poor health. I was a chronic dieter for 30 years because of the barrage of messages I received (from the media, my family, my community, my doctors, my schools) since I was born that the worst thing I could ever be was fat. Mags had the same experience as did so many of my girlfriends. In fact, I once read the results of a US study revealing that a significant number of women surveyed would give up ten years of their lives in order to be thin. Really??? A decade????!!!!

So if you shouldn’t diet, how do you lose weight? Stay tuned for part three…

    Hi guys. I just wanted to ask if any of you tried using medical marijuana for anxieties and migraine? I’ve been suffering severe anxiety for almost a year now and been given a prescription for Benzodiazepines for my medication. But i heard alot of people telling me that marijuana helps relieve anxiety but im not im not sure if its true so i came up to search something about this idea and came across this marijuana strain from it says that i can discard all forms of stress and its euphoric buzz it delivers often is useful in combating anxiety and depression. I wanted to hear your thoughts about this guys and if you can give me any tips that can help me with my anxieties. Thank you!

    October 5, 2018

    This is such a great point that so many people don’t understand. Dieting rarely works because it works against your body – exactly like you said. I’ve spent some time around a weight loss camp in florida and this was the first thing they said that blew my mind. Losing weight is 10% dieting and 90% getting healthy. It’s the KINDS of foods you eat. The kinds of activities you pursue. It’s lifestyle. No scorched earth, no calorie kill counts, just real good food, real good living, and the results happen naturally.

Hi, Thanks for the review.
The custom changes done were done to the theme, and once you change the theme, the change will be lost, this is how the theme changes works. Please understand that this is something not related to the app in anyway. And we have informed you everytime about the theme behavior.
Still you have any query, please respond to the support emails.

This might have been one of the worse learning curves I had to deal with. Shipping is poorly brought into the design that defeats the purpose of a multi-vendor application. Lost of time wasted. But you get what you pay for and it is one of the cheaper options. So the thing is they want you to use standard Shopify shipping that runs on a single account on a multivendor product. Soooo you would still need to ship everything from one place... This is not very cool.

Developer reply

September 17, 2021

Hi, Thanks for the review.
By default, you can use the shipping option from the shopify store, so if you want you can use that.
As you have shipping issues, please do respond to the support email and they will assist you with the shipping, as we cant seem to find any email from your end for the shipping support.

Definitely a very well-developed app with rapid and great CS support!!! No worries even if you are weak at coding, since the support team is very helpful and quick in response (usually within 1 day) that they will help you to deal with theme coding & interface coding. My company has ~300 offline vendors and we are gradually adding them online. And this app is very user-friendly that almost most of your inquiries can find an answer, and the app even provides user manuals and tutorial videos for both the admin and the vendors!!! I am just so satisfied. The only withdraw is that the app itself don't not include Chinese language interface (and most of my vendors are Chinese users), you need to install some translation plug-in (which I tried but does not work well) or to translate all the wordings of interface by yourself.

WIPO Database Reveals the Design Concept of Mi Mix Alpha 2 Showing an Even Bigger Display and Pop-Up Camera System

Folding smartphones are on the rise. After the initial reveal of the Royole FlexPai, every major smartphone manufacturer except Apple is in the race to develop a foldable device that is accessible and provides innovative use cases. Every company has its own version of a foldable smartphone. Samsung has Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Flip while Motorola offers the Raze. Other companies like LG and Xiaomi are working on slightly different  devices. LG came up the Wing, and Xiaomi introduced the Mi Alpha.

Mi Alpha is an all-screen smartphone in which the display on the front rolls around the edges and joins the display on the back. The device was able to gather a lot of attention when it was announced last year. Unfortunately, Xiaomi had to postpose the device only months after the initial announcement. However, Xiaomi may have already started developing the sequel of Mi Mix Alpha.

LetsGoDigital has found the design concept of the potential sequel of Mi Mix Alpha in the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office) database. The concept design is very similar to the device scrapped last year. The display wraps around the frame of the phone, covering both front and back, but this time around, the company even removed the cameras to increase the screen real estate. There is a pop-up camera system in place which houses three camera sensors, all of which can be used as either front or back cameras.

Lastly, it is not sure whether Xiamoi would end up releasing the device as the usability of the device is questionable. The company had to postpone its predecessor indefinitely, mainly due to usability concerns.

It Was In Prayer

Prayer is the KeySermon preached at Queen Anne Christian Church, January 13, 2013

Acts 8:14-17    14 Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. 15The two went down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit 16(for as yet the Spirit had not come upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus). 17Then Peter and John* laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

Luke 3:15-22     15 As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah, 16John answered all of them by saying, ‘I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with* the Holy Spirit and fire. 17His winnowing-fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing-floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.’

18 So, with many other exhortations, he proclaimed the good news to the people. 19But Herod the ruler,* who had been rebuked by him because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and because of all the evil things that Herod had done, 20added to them all by shutting up John in prison.

21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, 22and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.’

As I was reading the many different stories of Jesus’ baptism this past week I was reminded of my own baptism and the story surrounding it.  I was 10 years old when I attended the class that would prepare me, and my entire Sunday school class, for baptism.  While I had attended church all my young life, for me, this baptism was more about how cool it would be to suddenly become “Holy” and have all my sins forgiven. I mean my thoughts were, “Wow all of my sins were going to be forgiven, even the ones mom and dad didn’t know about, how cool was that.”

I wasn’t disappointed when the sky didn’t open up and I didn’t hear a voice or see a dove, but I was disappointed that I didn’t “feel” any different. I didn’t feel as if I had been forgiven.  However, knowing, at the wise age of 10, that I should feel something I was afraid to say anything because everyone else seemed so darned happy.  It would be another 20 years before I felt I was beginning to understand what baptism meant and felt a tug to renew that commitment and asked to be re-baptized.  This time I knew that something was different; I just didn’t know what it was. It would take another 20 years of trying to live a good life, failing most times, but, sometimes coming close before I experienced what I call an intervention by the Holy Spirit and had a new enlightenment about what it meant to be part of a faith community.

At the time this happened I was at a very difficult place in my life and my “ah-ha” moment was the most dramatic event to ever happen to me.  It changed how I viewed myself and everyone and everything around me in relation to how I envisioned my life with God, Spirit and Christ.   Now, events like that do not happen every day or for every person. But, I am grateful for what I experienced and feel blessed to have been given something I feel is special and I try to live into the promise given me that day.

You are probably calculating in your mind “let see 10+20+20=50, she was fifty when baptism finally made sense!”  All I can say is I’m a really slow learner.  But yes, I didn’t I understand what it meant to be baptized until I was well into my adult years. Your own stories may say you understood before, during or right after you entered and exited the waters of baptism.  Every person is different and the Spirit picks the time it will act, we don’t tell the Holy Spirit.  Nor do we pick the moment when all of it comes together.  In my tradition of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Baptism is believer’s baptism by immersion, just as it was for Jesus.  That means we are supposed to know why we do it and for most part I think most of us do, for some of us it just takes a little longer. As Luke tells the story it didn’t come together even for Jesus until after he was baptized and in prayer.

You know we have heard the stories of Jesus’ baptism so often we don’t actually ‘hear’ it when it is read.  It is actually only in Mark and Matthew where we have a retelling of John baptizing Jesus.  How many of you unconsciously substituted Mark’s or Matthew’s story in the above Luke scripture when you read it and missed the focus of Luke’s telling of the story?

First of all Luke does tell us Jesus was baptized. He doesn’t actually say it was John the Baptist, although most likely it was. But in Verse 3:21, Luke’s story of Jesus’ baptism is almost an afterthought.  Jesus was baptized with all of those who came to the Jordan River.  He was baptized just like any other person seeking repentance and forgiveness.  Nothing special, it was an act of commitment and faith just like every person coming to John at the Jordan River.  What is highlighted is that sometime after the baptism when Jesus was in prayer the Spirit descends upon him “like a dove” and he hears God’s voice say “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”

Luke doesn’t focus much on the commitment, repentance and forgiveness of the act of baptism.  Instead his focus is on the baptism of the Spirit, just as John tells his audience in Verse 16; “… He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”  Jesus’ baptism is with the Holy Spirit and the Spirit decides when that will happen, and, for Luke prayer plays a huge role in when the Holy Spirit comes.

In the first scripture reading from Acts we read that a Samaritan Community had been baptized but “the Spirit had not yet come upon … them,”  so Peter and John travel to Samaria pray for the Holy Spirit and lay “their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.”  Jesus was in prayer, Peter and John prayed and the Holy Spirit came.    Does this mean that the Spirit will always come in response to prayer … ah … probably not? As I said the Spirit picks the moment when it gives enlightenment, not us.

But Luke’s focus on the act of prayer is the key to our spiritual doors; prayer has a special place in Luke’s Gospel.  The Evangelist tells us Jesus is constantly going away to be in prayer, he prays with his disciples, he prays for the sick, the lame, and the possessed.  Jesus prays in the garden and on the cross. Jesus’ entire life is a model of a life lived in prayer and the relationship with his Abba that prayer fostered.  For Luke the most important thing Jesus taught his disciples was prayer.  The way to talk to and build relationship with God is in prayer.

Luke continues his theme of prayer in his second book, the Acts of the Apostles. Following Jesus’ ascension the disciples returned to Jerusalem and devoted their time to prayer.   They prayed when they replaced Judas with Matthias.  When the Holy Spirit descends on them they were all sitting together, my guess is they were praying, as that would have been their practice.  The first converts were taught by the Apostles to pray and when the community became too great to lead by themselves, they appointed Stephen and Philip to do community management, so they, the Apostles, could devote themselves to teaching, baptizing and prayer.

I am not saying that Luke ranked baptism as second to prayer, for he doesn’t. Baptism is and will always be the first sacrament. For us Disciples baptism is one of only two sacraments we have, the other being the Lord’s Supper.  However, Luke is explaining to his community of Gentile converts that it takes the two together, baptism plus prayer, to fully understand the commitment made in Christ’s name.  He is also trying to explain to his community that the Holy Spirit does not always come in direct response to baptism.  Sometimes it comes before or after baptism, it is the Spirits choice.  Paul experiences Christ and the Spirit on the road to Damascus and is baptized after that dramatic event.  As Luke describes Paul and as Paul writes in his letters the act of prayer is an important part of being in a Christian Faith Community.  Baptism is the commitment to God and community often in response to prayer.  Baptism plus prayer is the key that opens the door of our heart, into that inner place of the Spirit and shows us the way to live a life that is Christ filled, God filled and Spirit filled.

One isn’t more important than the other, in fact, we need both for the key to work, but some of us have locks where the Spirit connects with us first and then we are baptized, sometimes it’s the other way around and sometimes it’s all at the same moment.  It is a little like an analogy I picked up from my biologist research days using DNA, RNA and enzymes in comparing how they work in our bodies to how our spiritual DNA, RNA and enzymes might work in our spiritual bodies.

Our Spiritual DNA determines the shape of the RNA and how it will fit together with the enzymes in our bodies.  Each has to be a specific shape in order for both to fit together like a lock and key.  The enzyme only fits one way in each person and when it does the two together create something new and important to keep us living.  I don’t know which of the two, baptism or pray, is the RNA and which the enzyme. I do know that how they fit together in each of us is a specific characteristic for each individual.  Both parts are needed in order for the spiritual life to come awake.

Luke knows baptism is important; everyone who comes to Christ is baptized.  Everyone who is baptized will have their own experience of Spirit, often whether they recognize it as such or not. The Holy Spirit often speaks so quietly that only a quiet new awareness begins to guide us without our knowing why.  Prayer is the tool used by the Spirit to teach us the meaning of baptism and how to be in relationship with God, Christ and Holy Spirit.

How we respond to baptism will be an individual act, how the Spirit guides us is the result of prayer.   We can’t have one without the other if we are to live into a Faith Filled Community of God.  Baptism is the recognition of our humanness, our humanity and our commitment to something greater than who we are.  Prayer is the part that leads to our understanding of what our humanity and commitment means.  The two together are the Key that unlocks the door to the Kingdom.

Dahlia Books Short Fiction Festival Weekend – 12 and 13 June 2021

The Short Fiction Festival Weekend, hosted by Dahlia Books, is a celebration of the short form, featuring writing workshops, author discussions and networking.

Led by some of the A Brief Pause tutors, the weekend is the ultimate retreat for anyone looking to master the short form.

Click here to find out more and to buy your ticket!

If you’re quick, you can still grab a ticket for an online reading and author talk with none other than Kathy Fish, queen of all things Flash Fiction, hosted by Dahlia Books. Click here for tickets.

Fancy putting some of that workshop knowledge to good use? Why not enter one of your own pieces of short fiction into the Leicester Writes annual competition or submit it to a new PAYING literary magazine called A Present Tense.

One of the positives to come out of the recent lockdown is the online festival and I think it’s here to stay. It’s perfectly suited towards all things bookish. I can honestly say that I’ve attended more virtual author talks, book launches, panel discussions, webinars and writing classes in the last year than the rest of my life combined. There was no rugby scrum for tickets, I didn’t need to book a train ticket or worry about it being cancelled due to the weather. I was able to ‘go to it’ even though the event was held in another country or I was feeling unwell. I didn’t need to find someone to go with, because everyone who attended was on their own. I have interacted with high profile authors in masterclass settings whilst still in my pyjamas. Delegates and Tutors have Zoomed in from all over the world, all coming together to learn, share their knowledge and network. I’ve felt safe, knowing that disruptive people would be booted out (Jackie Weaver style). Spoiler, I’ve never yet attended a Zoom class where anyone has been unfriendly or rude. I’ve found it a much more comfortable setting to learn, and think that these classes foster a sense of intimacy and community from the start.

Uptown Summer Youth Talk Design for the New NATURE Lab

Last week the Uptown Summer youth employees began the process of designing the new NATURE Lab Environmental Education Center. The new NATURE Lab Center will occupy a long-abandoned house in the North Central Troy neighborhood, just down the block from The Sanctuary for Independent Media. Friday was the first of three sessions where we will be joined by architect Cameron Toler, who will assist our youth employees in planning the site’s renovation. In this session we talked about how design can be used to address the social and environmental problems of our community.

Joshua from TAP Inc., Uptown Summer employee Kai, and mentor Ellie map out the new NATURE Lab site.

After visiting the site and taking note of its pitfalls and potentials, we spent the afternoon brainstorming ways this space could be put to use for North Troy residents. Decades of neglect and 200 years of negligent industrial practices have left Troy with a laundry list of problems looking for solutions. The youth employees identified problems including poverty, slum lords, lack of recreational facilities, irrelevant school curricula, poor public transit, a polluted river, drug problems, crime, bad policing, and a lack of information about what resources are available.

Uptown Summer employee Felicia records during the site visit. Throughout the Uptown Summer Program, the youth will be producing media documenting their experience and collecting stories about environmental justice.

Next, each participant picked just one of these problems to focus on, brainstorming ways it could be addressed in the design and programming of the NATURE Lab. The ideas were varied in size and scope. We debated public bathrooms, outdoor benches, visiting clinicians, scientifically-informed drug counselling, a meeting space, community basketball tournaments, after-school tutoring, and much more.

While the problems facing North Central Troy might be overwhelming at times, the solutions this group came up with were inventive, practical, inspiring, and numerous. These teens know what their community needs and, given the resources, their ideas have the potential to make impactful changes in the neighbourhood. We’re thrilled to have their input driving the construction of our new science center!

The Uptown Summer youth employees deep in thought and conversation.

Finally, the group listed who they want to reach out to for our upcoming community design meeting. On Tuesday, July 31st our doors will be open to local organizations and residents to discuss plans for NATURE Lab. Do you have ideas about what North Troy needs? Join us at the meeting, connect with us on social media, or send us an email. We’d love to hear from you!

Student grilled for carrying VHF radio in Hyderabad

K Nagasainath, amateur radio ham

Hyderabad: A 19-year-old amateur radio ham was detained by Hyderabad Metro Rail officials at the Nagole Metro Station for carrying a very high frequency (VHF) radio base station and walkie-talkie.

The Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE) student, K Nagasainath, told ‘Telangana Today’ that he was let off only after an hour of interrogation and after his details were recorded in the metro station’s armoury book.

“A senior official, flanked by police officials, sitting in a large cabin, grilled me about the radio station, the walkie talkie, and then told me that amateur radio hams, even licensed ones, are not allowed to use VHF radios. Only police can use them, he told me, whereas the policemen at the station told me that I can carry and use the radio,” he said.

“Any licensed amateur radio ham can use high frequency, very high frequency and ultra-high frequency radios, anywhere — those are government rules applicable across India. He recorded the details in their armoury notebook. He said I was carrying a weapon,” said the student. Moreover, the official refused to divulge any details about his official authority or his name.

“The metro station security, during the routine check, asked me about the radio. I told them what it was and showed them my license. It was in my bag and I wasn’t even using it, even though I have the right to. They asked me to see their higher authority, and I was detained and grilled for no fault of mine,” he said.

The youngster is a member of both the Lamakaan Amateur Radio Club (LARC) and the National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR). When asked about lodging an official complaint with HMR or city police, the student said he had not made up his mind yet.

“I have travelled from Kukatpally Metro Station several times and the security always let me carry my radio after checking my license. I do not know why such a fuss was created by Nagole Metro Station authorities,” he said.

O.T. XP won't use all RAM

Everyone thinks they can manage the page file in XP from the control panel. Believe me you can't. I have a program that looks into the computer and it resets itself every time. I've tried all the obvious controls, modified the registry most daringly and it still won't use over 256 MB of RAM. I installed 2 GB and it recognizes it, but it still keeps shuffling data onto page file.
By loading many places in Google world it can use up to 44%, surely as video memory. Can anyone help me use my RAM in everyday use? Thanks and Merry, and Happy tto all. sam

I think most modern BIOS' will recognize installed ram but that would be my first stop as it is the closest to the physical memory. Go into your BIOS config when booting up and see if there are any settings there that effect how the system recognizes or uses RAM

Edited: 24 Dec 2010, 2:34 p.m.

Chip design folks that need lotsa *usable* RAM without thrashing are not pleased with this issue on Win boxes. It's been an issue back to NT/2K days, (unsure of the severity levels across the platforms).

There was a company that produced IDE "hard disks" that were really RAM drives. System performance improved markedly; similar results occurred with RAM drive software. It was more valuable to add RAM to a RAM drive than it was to add RAM to the system pool beyond around 512MB.

Nowadays you can simply use a real RAM drive, located in main memory. If your PC has 4GB or more RAM, at least the Gavotte can create a PAE RAM disk automatically (if chipset/BIOS allow)

Then you can set your temp directories to there, which will lead to a big performance gain in many cases.

Consider unpacking a 100MB zip file. Normally it will be unpacked to the current temp dir on the HD, and then copied to the destination. The 1. step, unpacking, will be _much_ faster if you use a RAM disk, and even the copy operation will be faster.

And your web browser will react faster, too, if the cache resides in RAM.

A Pagefile is a location setup on your hard drive that Windows uses as temp storage of open programs and data so it can be easly swaped out when the OS needs more RAM for other programs. When you change the amount of disk space that is used you need to click on the SET button to get Windows to accept the change. Windows will then tell you, you must restart the computer for the new settings to take effect. I think most systems default to 2GB but generally recommend 5GB as the minimum. I use allot of CAD and GIS software so I have my minimum at 10GB and maximum at 16GB.

The program I use to look at all memory use shows me that the sum of memory used would easily fit in 2GB RAM. It slows down all processes when it shuffles data onto disk when it need not. It may be that a BIOS revision is a key. That would obviate having to work with XP. Thanks, sam

Have you tried disabling paging file completely ?

I have chosen "no page file" and restarted. It notifies me my pagefile is too low and resets it. It is simply reverting to the days when 512M was a lot of RAM. I'll see if an updated BIOS is available. Thanks, sam

Customer Review

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019
I slept on this mattress when I stayed at an AirBnb. I noticed after 2 nights I'd had better sleep and less back aches in the morning. After I got the information on it, I went to a local store where they had all three of the styles on display and I tried them all, and a few others. But this was still the best. My husband is a back sleeper, I'm a side sleeper. I did my research and this style is the best, having the softness level in the middle. They were selling it for twice the price and charging for delivery. So I found this site online and ordered it. I was skeptical because the price was lower and no shipping and it came rolled up. They were wonderful and answered my questions within 12 hours, so I ordered it. It is exactly the same mattress I slept on during my vacation. It arrived in 3 days. It was easy to unpack and unroll. It is super comfortable, just the right softness and support. No more tossing and turning. My husband sleeps better, without moving a muscle all night. I highly recommend the mattress and the company I ordered it from.
