The Impact of "Thin"

Contribution by Stevie Kirby
I watched my favorite documentary "Thin" on satellite TV that I got after seeing this www.directstartv.com, for the first time a few years ago. It became my favorite documentary because my previous teacher was in it but also because I could really feel the struggle that each person went through. It was inspirational to see them try and overcome their fears since I have my own I suffer from. Watching Polly, Shelly, Alyssa, Brittany and the rest of the individuals go through their struggle helps others know their not alone and they can get help.
The ! movie stars individuals who are seeking help to overcome obstacles like anorexia. Some of them purge and binge, others have been feeding themselves through a tube. They all are afraid of losing weight and most have been this way for years. Brittany in particular had a mother with an eating disorder and they would chew and spit food together.
Alyssa is so inspirational for those who knew her past the movie like me. Seeing the movie really brought tears to my eyes because I saw her as a teacher and overcoming some of her struggles.
One of the highlights of the movie to me was watching Polly eat a cupcake for her birthday despite how much she didn't want to. Just proving that she can do it was inspiring. She fought the urge to throw it back up and it's a hard thing to face.

Invest For A Brighter Future

I am lucky to have a partner in like like my husband. He has this characteristics I am admiring about him. He might be the kind of husband that is not that sweet in terms of giving material things to you in every occasions, but I understand. Those are not important.  I appreciate his own way of  thoughtfulness. Maybe he's just practical and I accept it.

He maybe the kind of man with so many dreams and being thrifty is one of his way to fulfill his dreams one by one.  I admire him having his own car in a span of 7 months work in USA.  Sometimes when were having a conversation, I can feel from his words the things he's dreaming, I can tell how much he thinks of getting rich so that someday he can give everything to our kids in the future and don't worry about our retirement.  I can project that his next plan is a house. Who doesn't want to have a house of your own? Everybody dreams of it right?  There's this article talking about "I Will Teach you To Be Rich" talking about personal finance and entrepreneurship for college students, recent college grads, and everyone else. I think this book will help us a lot in fulfilling our dreams. It's not bad to aim for higher right? I think my husband's attitude will bear fruits someday.

I am doing my best to help my husband in his dreams and my first step is to become thrifty like him.
