Encouriging women to follow WW

What a beautiful post Budahazya,
I have enjoyed reading your posts this past year and you have done so well on your English. That is so awesome re your symptoms.

Thanks for your encouraging post, Budahazya.

and thank you for sharing your brilliant results. I am so happy that your perseverance at WWposture and advice has given you your life back. Enjoy! :)

I'm so proud of you buda and thrilled to read this post! It captures what is really most important about this work: Learning to use the tools that help you let go of the fear. The organs are always moving, symptoms will come and go, bad days will still happen. The important thing is that prolapse no longer panics and scares us, we don't have to live in fear and dread of worsening, of things getting out of our control.

Thanks for sharing, keep up the excellent work, and enjoy the freedom you've found by doing the Whole Woman work. We will always be here on your continuing journey! - Surviving

Dearest budahazya,
So wonderful to hear of your progress and your journey!

Indeed it will be an inspiration to everyone here!

Best wishes to you and your family,

Aussie Soul Sister

OK, now I'm crying.

I'm afraid of everything. I'm afraid to stand, to walk, to lift, to play music. Gardening season will be here soon (Alaska - it starts late May), and I have no hope of being able to be free to move things, carry things, plant things . . . .without risk of making it all worse.

I feel like I'm in the deepest grief, added to the loss of my father less than a year ago. None of my clothes fit, and I'm going to have to change everything about my wardrobe. I have to change everything about "me" to the point that I don't know who I am anymore.

Your words, I need to read them again and again. Thank you for writing. I needed to hear your words. I wish I was less afraid and I could embrace them, but it's all so new to me.

I think so many of us have been in that fear and while we can say it will get better it's a journey to get there so hugs for what you are going through.

I do know I felt like I was in the right place as soon as I started reading Christine's words as she was finally talking truth so if that helps you then hold onto that. Certainly when I read anything in medical language it is heartless. Prolapse is such an emotional journey isn't it alongside the physical.

This has definitely been a real journey to find my more feminine self but within that I have also found a lot of peace in my body and finally an acceptance of it. The clothes thing does annoy me at times but I also find it freeing that I am not trying to fit into the norm and squish into things or look flat and skinny.

Don't stop your gardening. While I am not a gardener I was out the other day with my bum in the air bending from the waist and really getting into WW posture and I felt really good after.

By the way you don't need to change you - you will just end up discovering much more of you but maybe a slightly different you. In WW posture I cannot shrink now, I have to put myself out there and really be me. It has been confronting at times but very empowering. My inner goddess as Christine calls it. Maybe like your name you will be the rose in the desert (or the snow).

Thank you will all my heart, dear Buda, for persisting with the WW work! I, too, am so proud of you for believing us and staying with the program. If only all women could understand that coming back to the real female pelvic organ support system is truly the only reasonable response to prolapse.

The other half of the WW work is understanding our microbiology, so we can avoid UTI, IBS, pre-term birth, and even STIs and cancer! It is an amazing story that is completely grounded in good science. The research alone has changed my life already and I can hardly wait to share it with the world. But it is a very slow and tedious process - I just brought 26 new articles home from the library day before yesterday and finally finished reading them last night. There is so much information swimming around in my head I can only pray I have a book by August.

It is women like you, Buda, who inspire me to keep slogging away day after day!

Love from Christine

Dear Desert Rose,
Take it one step at a time.
It is a journey and a kind of metamorphosis, however the treasures I am discovering with WW and beyond are worth hanging in for.
I am changing what I wear also and going natural with my hair colour.
The clothes are a more slow process, but will gradually find my style... and new colours....

I am still tweaking the posture and working out stuff, however have learned by trial and error and listening to my body rather than following norms, and finding answers.

Right now I am working on my posture, doing the DVDs and observing my body, particularly my lower belly being relaxed with everything I do.

I feel that is key to pelvic organ support.

I had a setback recently by not paying more attention to it, and am more symptom free a few weeks later, and will be better than I have ever been soon.

This journey has now given me a strength both physically and mentally to be more assertive and start the journey to find the authentic self in me...

Remember you are not alone in this,

Much love,
Aussie Soul Sister

Thank you. Just, thank you.

Your post is so inspiring! I've read all your posts and tracked the ups and downs and am so glad that you are in such a good place right now and so grateful for your ww testimony!
