Today's Health - Wellness / Exercise / Reflections:Thorns in Your HeartSeptember 28, 2010We all depend on food for sustenance, but sometimes we turn to food for emotional or psychological reasons. Some of my clients remember being sexually abused and then turning to food not only to numb the pain but also to hide their bodies. Others turned to food out of boredom, fear, or sadness.
I often refer to such painful distressful events as thorns. Some thorns are big and hurt very deeply. Others, such as loneliness or boredom, may seem smaller, but they still leave their mark. You might have one thorn or many, but no matter how many you have, you're capable of plucking them out!
The first step toward pulling those thorns out is identifying the source of your problem, then finding an alternative coping mechanism. Instead of turning to a monstrous cheeseburger or a pint of double chocolate chip ice cream, look for consolation in activities involving other people.
Join a walk-and-talk group or book club, or if you don't feel like socializing, just walk to a neighborhood shopping center to be in the presence of others. The point is you need to break your habit and start a new one, or else you'll continue down the same destructive path.

Take Action:
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- We demand immediate end of DADT. It is out-right discrimination.
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Imagine, Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of senile - Sen. John McCain: because of their Hateful anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform. Further, Their Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and blocked Immigration reform! We shall hold the voters of Arizona responsible!
- NEW: Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.
- NEW: Boycott Gold's Gym for donating loads of money to anti-gay candidates.

By Jordan Fabian - 12/08/10 / The HillRepublican Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Wednesday she favors repealing the "Don't ask, don't tell" law, but says her vote comes with conditions.
The Alaska senator said that she will only vote to break a filibuster of a key defense spending bill with the repeal attached if "the majority allows for an open and fair amendment process."
"This is a weighty, policy-laden bill that normally takes several weeks to debate and amend," she said in a statement. "If the majority attempts to push it through allowing little or no debate or votes on amendments, I will be inclined to oppose those efforts."
Murkowski's announcement comes as the Senate is expected to take a cloture vote Wednesday night on the defense bill.
Several Republicans indicated that they would support scrapping the ban, but that they wanted to see an open debate process on the defense authorization bill, including the ability to offer a series of amendments.
Murkowski joins Susan Collins (Maine) and Scott Brown (Mass.) among GOP senators who support repeal. Her decision gives repeal advocates certainty that they would have the 60 votes necessary to make repeal happen.
Proponents of repeal also received a boost Wednesday morning when centrist Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor (Ark.) announced he wants to get rid of the policy.
Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) told CNN's John King on Wednesday that he will vote to break a filibuster on the defense bill. But he said he is still undecided whether or not he will support a final vote on repeal.
"Well, I voted to proceed to the bill the last time it came up, a few months ago. I'll vote to proceed again," he said.
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) has not yet made her position public, but in September, she voted against debate on the defense authorization bill. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has yet to reveal his stance on repeal. His predecessor, the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D), backed repeal.
With the three Republicans announcing support of repeal, Democrats could afford to have two senators defect on the vote and still have the 60 votes necessary. The caveat remains, however, whether the Republicans think the process offered by Reid on the debate of the defense authorization bill is acceptable to them.
