Better and Specific Past Event
Journal 29 (Private)** 15192343 1. Write about a recent time when you experienced overwhelm, anger or resentment, sadness, or depression, fear or anxiety.
My weight has been like a yo-yo of emotions. I never know when I try clothes on if I need the same size as yesterday. But every day I eat healthy, go for long walks and drink lots of water. My weight is kind of like the rest of my life. I make mistakes, I learn from them; I pick myself up and try again. I no longer base my weight on a number, or compare myself to others. I am beautiful instead. It may take me a long time to feel the same about who I am on the outside. I'm often told I'm beautiful but I don't believe them. But every day I try to love myself more. I will always keep on trying.

2. Identify three or more strategies that you could use in the future when you experience this emotion.
I finally about 2-3 years ago find my guidance through God, to change my physically appearance. I prayed, exercised more, and found counseling. I wanted a better future. I wanted to go out with my friends and actually feel a part of the crew. I wanted this for myself so I got up and did something about it. If I feel depressed in the future I will seek to let someone know and not stay bottled up like I used to do.
Journal 30 1. Write about a specific past event when you experienced flow in any part of your life.
I flow too much in college. I always work my hardest and best under pressure. To get to this pressure I usually procrastinate so it not on good terms but I do start a flow. My most recent flow was getting a paper done for marketing. She has given us a group project and it was my turn to write the paper for this section. I started on this paper at 930 that morning in my accounting class. I took class notes and wrote my paper at the same time. The paper was due and one o’clock that afternoon, and this teacher does not play late papers. I was totally focused on getting this paper don not only because

    Everyone is either affected by depression or knows a friend or relative who is depressed. Some people get to the point where they cannot even function, because there depression has token over their life. Everyone has gone through a rough patch or a tough time, but they get through it and continue to enjoy what life has to offer them. I have personally have had days where I was depressed, it’s only human to get down. Some situations you can control depression due to genetics and family history, but I strongly believe you can create a change and fight for life. Simply look at the glass have full rather than have empty, even if it feels impossible “Fake it till you make it”. When a person fake’s to be happy or tries their best eventually their brain will alter itself to see the positive and their personal happiness will become a reality. When I have ever felt down or anxious I turn to my family, friends, and my faith. My religious views have helped me focus on the positive in life and to stay motivated for my purpose in…

    I agree with you Jessica on having unrealistic images of yourself and the difference between looking a certain way and feeling a certain way. Cultural identity is a big deal to teenage girls because it projects her identity based on a certain groups that she associates with (Matlin, 2012, p. 124). In high school I was in the group of misfits, that happen to be mainly boys, and we had friends in other groups but we did not fit in anywhere else. Even though I projected an image of not caring about what others thought of me, I still felt I was fat and when I looked in the mirror, I saw myself as fat. I look back now and I was at an ideal weight then but currently I still think and feel I am obese. I am reminded by the doctor during every checkup…

    Overtime I made the decision to make changes in my eating habits by limiting junk food to once a day and making several small changes such as replacing acidic drinks and juices for water with meals. I definitely started noticing changes in my figure as well as fitness, however I was not pleased with the slow progress. Over time, I became to recognize that I may have been born with poor genetics as I assessed my father and brothers figure. Our ability to burn fat is disadvantaged to some others. I definitely would categorize my body type to be between and endomorph and a mesomorph.…

    When I feel overwhelmed, I remember my struggles in the swimming pool. For example, last week I had an AP chemistry and a humanities AC test on the same day. As I was deciding which subject to approach, my phone rang. My boss asked me to update some information immediately for a conference coming up in the following week. I wanted to say, "No, I have too many things to do!" Then I asked myself why I took the job in the first place. I believe it is important to be responsible as an employee, so I decided to postpone my homework for a bit and finish updating the website. One hour later, I had reviewed all of the chapters of chemistry for the exam and taken a practice quiz. Because I was too sleepy to study, I went to bed. However, I cannot stand the thought of a bad grade, so I set my alarm clock to 5:00 a.m. and woke up to finish reviewing…

    As a teenager up until the age of 23 I have always been able to maintain a weight of around 135 pounds, even after I had my daughter at the age of 22. Right before I turned 24, in less than 6 months I had worked at three jobs, two of which I gotten laid off and the third I left due to the hours that I was required to work. During that time, my stress level had increased tremendously and I went on an eating binge, and stayed up late playing video games and not getting enough sleep. Well I started to see myself gaining weight, I told myself that I was not happy with the way I looked and I was going to do something about it, I joined Bally’s Fitness. That did not last very long, I was going to the gym two times a week for at least 2 months and did not see much of a change so I gave up going and just decided to start eating right, that helped a bit, I was doing ok I told myself and then shortly after that I got divorced and the stress from all the consequences of getting divorced made me loose a lot of weight, which was great but I lost it in an unhealthy way. I was able to keep the weight off, until I got involved in a relationship which after a couple of years went downhill and I became very depressed, which led to another eating binge and the weight gain came back in no time. With the positive influence from friends I was able to join a group at work in which we walked 3 times a day, 15 mins for both our morning and afternoon break and about 20 -25 mins during our lunch, we did this everyday we were at work. You are probably wondering what was the purpose behind this first paragraph? I just wanted to give you a bit of my background with my challenges due to my weight.…
