Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

WoW! Impressive! Way To Go Alta!! That Is Some HUMUNGOUS News!!!! Congratulations! You Deserve Everything You Put Your Mind To!

Surrounding ourselves with Positive People & Positive Thoughts & Energy Can do wonders!!! I'm glad you were able to Master this for your well being & will continue doing so. Very Exciting! :)​

:party: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :party:
 
That is incredible news! I have tears swelling up in my eyes right now, Alta. I didn't know that about you. You are quite a woman and quite a story! A prayer sent your way for a long, cancer free life of happiness!
 
:party:

I am so happy to hear that Alta!!! :)

It reminds me of a book I once read by this American woman who had a basketball-sized tumor in her stomach (uterus to be exact) and was told she would have to have surgery and all sorts of invasive, destructive procedures... she was horrified and immediately set about altering her lifestyle and eating only raw foods, meditating and seeing a spiritual psychologist to help her get over traumas in her past. Within weeks she was cancer-free and her doctors were speechless!!! :) So I totally believe we can do anything and I believe we are the product of all our actions. You are proof of this! Maybe you should write a book yourself, or hold seminars to inspire other people and give them hope. Your story would enrich millions of lives I'm sure. :)

I'd like to join with you in praising God for the miracles He gives us - I've had my fair share and should always remember it! - and to just be darn happy for you that you're well and healthy! Time to celebrate sister!! Next stop: Olympic Glory!!! :D :beerchug:

Thanks guys!! :grouphug:....It does make me feel happy to have health...I just need to remember that right now...

Camping was fun...until they broke into the truck and Stole my purse....:(

...I had my Drivers license, my Social Security, CC's, Bills, my school books like $200 worth, and my I-phone, all my contacts, my stun gun, All of Valerie's Raw books she lent me, my wallet, my EVERYTHING :cry:...my favorite bag ever..that was a gift $2,200.00 in the bag alone, all my accounts are FROZEN and now I have no money.! :cry:

...at the very very least out of all of this....I was able to get a replacement phone and lower my bill for free!! I might be saving anywhere from $60-$80 a month on my phone bill now...:D!...and I have a cheapy phone until Saturday when my lovely bf is going to be me a new one...and today he is going to go stand in line for me at the Social Security office so that I can go on my lunch and just go to the front of the line, and tomorrow do the same with the DMV. He gave me money for gas and food..and feels horrible cause they only took my things....:(....but still it wasn't his fault.

....I as well have Pre Paid Legal Services that I pay for monthly and I get Identity theft monitoring and as well as Restoration if anything happens for $36 a month with no contract that I pay for....so I have alerts put on evrything and I have 3 credit burea monitoring all the time as well...and if something happens they Restore it as well....so hope all goes well....I've been cancelling everything all morning and night....STEP BY STEP! :iagree:./...and he said in the future...he'll get me another NICE bag like that..maybe even better...but still..I just want the special things I already had! :beating:!

THEIVES SUCK!!!....but they can't hold me back....I WILL SURVIVE!...you can just imagine...how much I ate and drank after I found this out on Saturday....:cry: ....LIKE A PIG!!!...DEPRESSION! :puke:...and I feel a bit fatter too....Oh well!...

WoW, Alta, I am sorry to hear about that, I know what it feels like.

Well it sounds like you're still getting things done & worked out to the best of your ability. Your bf sounds like he's got a lot of love for ya!

I hope you get the emotional part worked out & stay strong! :)

Maybe they will try to use a credit card, and will be caught! Or try to take out money, and get their faces zeroed in on with a camera. hee hee heee Suckers.

Hey Alta,
I just wanted to say that I found your story so inspiring...you are a strong and vibrant young woman. I love your postive spirit and I'm happy to hear you are cancer free! I am in awe of your comittment to fitness, and in particular your running....I'm working toward that myself and I LOVE it!! Sorry about your purse....thank God you are identity protected though. Keep up the good work.
 
Ugh! Just once I'd like to catch a thief in action! I promise I wouldn't hurt them too bad. :reddevil:

So sorry to hear that, Alta. :( If for some crazy reason I come across an affordable stun gun, you might be getting an early Chirstmas present. ;)
 
Thanks guys!!! :grouphug:!!!...You guys are GOLD!!! :iagree:!!!

...I am by the day getting better and better and happier and happier!!!...:D!

...I realized it was a real humbling experience that day as I sat there in the woods, with nothing ...just staring out into the water after our 7 hour raft and then bad things like that happen. And I realized ...that it would be so crazy in a "free" kinda way, if we were to not have a thing...nothing to stamp us by, identify us on paper, kinda like jungle people....it would be so Free. If we didn't need all these things that meant nothing til we made it mean something...then how would life be!?! Plain..&.simple & free..so light!! right?...and then WHY WOULD I CARE IF SOMEONE STOLE THINGS FROM ME....if I came with nothing and I want to leave with nothing...FREE...so light..and FREE!!....and that's when Relaxation kicked in...and Peace of mind...and Forgiveness to those who robbed me.

...If we are stuck in the present PRESENT moment...without allowing the future, the past,...or anything other than what we are doing this moment..breathing..feeling..and relaxing mentally... then it's easy to forgive and let go..! :iagree:

...If I could stay at this frame of mind always it would be so liberating. It makes me feel at peace and one with Life with the world, with God..with Nature. Allowing yourself to be free of materialism and judgement..one with yourself....

...I may sound cooky...but I guess in a sense...we can learn something so valuable from everything....Nothing is permanent..including the being that we've created for ourselves to be. What if someone steals that??! Does that mean that they have stole us?!?! ...of course not...because we are not a peice of paper with SS#..it doesn't define your values, your core, your mind, your POWER...it does none of the valuable. So why feel robbed of something that has No power over the TRUE me right?!?! :D!

....FUCK NO!...not me! ...I love :beating: myself more than that & I LOVE YOU GUYS ALL EVEN MORE THAN THAT!!! :grouphug:!

....true story.

....I wonder what I weigh as well..but I feel good without weighing in...cause it depresses me to not lose as much as I want. So...especially with all the cheating I did these days...Uggggg...HELL NO WEIGH IN!
 
I completely understand where you are coming from with the whole "feeling free" thing. It's very true. I bet if people started thinking more like that- then people would be a lot happier with their lives instead of being upset by the things they can't afford, or aren't able to have. None of that matters, as long as YOU have YOURSELF.

SERIOUSLY GIRL, I WAS JUST THINKING OF THIS AGAIN LAST NIGHT!!! WHOA!

Probably because of the movies I always watch when I am absolutely at my lowest, and than I almost feel like they were meant for me from God at those exact moments to help me understand again...like little signs.

"My Best Friends Wedding": THIS TOO SHALL PASS

"Fight Club": ITS ONLY WHEN WE”VE LOST EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE FREE TO DO ANYTHING

SO I Say Hell Yea!! I am going to DO THIS!!! I have absolutely Nothing To Lose! Maybe I'll EVEN LEARN a thing or two. ;)

We're all allowed to feel down, it's human nature, WE NEED to work through the feelings.

"Princess Diaries": Eleanor Rosevelt (sp?): "PEOPLE CAN ONLY MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR IF YOU LET THEM"

It's sooo FREAKIN weird how I am on the same wave length a lot of the time with ppl on here. I feel I am. LOL Correct me if I am wrong...lol

I know it's weird I watch for signs in everything, I just believe that when I listen to my instincts that is my Spiritual Guide telling me right from wrong, if I'D ONLY LISTEN HALF THE TIME....LOL


That for a lot of ppl, how come we strive to make something of ourselves and make money so that we can have great things, maybe materialistic, and yet it's only for status? BUT if status actually means nothing, than what are we working so hard to accomplish?

I know a lot of ppl want to work hard not for status, but to make themselves feel good & help others and show, share with others too. Like you, you're very inspiring, and I have goals and dreams where I mainly want to help man kind, I know this sounds hoky (sp?) but I REALLY want to see what I can do with my mind.

Basically because of all my fears I had allowed myself time and time again to sink into low depressive states, because I felt if nothing means anything than why are we here. TO TEACH & BE TAUGHT. That's my conclusion, and although it is a Great Struggle, it's what I want.

Anyways. I am VERY HAPPY & EXCITED that you have come also to this realization, you're full of WEALTH. I am really excited to watch you grow. :)​
