Help for the highly sensitive person

Guidelines for forum participation

You must register or sign-in to access and post on the First Ourselves’ Forum (the “forum”). By registering, you agree to comply with these Policies and any other terms and conditions set forth in this site. We reserve the right to disallow or remove any topic.

The forum is a support circle to provide nurturing, encouragement, and connection for women who want to control sugar cravings, end binge eating, and heal a negative body image. As you share ideas and help your fellow sisters, please be kind, considerate, and courteous. You may not post on the Forum, or send to any other Forum user, any material that is abusive, vulgar, threatening, harassing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, that invades a person’s privacy, violates any intellectual or other property rights, or that would otherwise violate any law. You may not post material known to be false.

The point of this forum is to help each other create a healthy, nourishing relationship with food, our bodies and ourselves. Any material that we deem inappropriate or that celebrates/encourages women to create an unhealthy relationship with her body or food will be deleted.

By posting to this forum, you understand that Karly does not have medical or professional training in nutrition or health. She writes, teaches and speaks from her own experience. If you need medical attention, please seek medical help from a medical professional.

You can share your experience, or the content of First Ourselves’ courses, outside of the forums. But respect the privacy of every group member here by not discussing their forum postings outside of this group without her permission.

Please welcome and appreciate differences, as this brings richness to the forums. Be open and willing to embrace a different point of view.

Please take some time to look through the site and scan the different forum topics. You are welcome to add a new topic to a forum as well as to post questions or answers to topics.

Please don’t write in CAPS, as it means that you’re shouting.

Please label your topics or posts so that others can easily understand the subject matter of your post. For example, instead of writing, “Help!” as the title of the topic, consider writing, “Help! I’m struggling in the evenings.” Being more specific makes the forums more user friendly for everyone. Better than the two previous examples, how about a topic titled: “How to end late evening food cravings?” That’s specific enough to elicit helpful replies.

Keeping categories & topics true:  To keep continuity to the topics and categories, and to keep the search feature working optimally, please make every effort to keep topics true to their subject matter. It’s not unusual for a topic to trigger other ideas and interests, but when a discussion gets involved, please create a new topic in the appropriate category and carry on with the ideas there, where others would think to look for it. It keeps our Sisterhood connection neat and tidy and easier for all to access.

If you make a typing error, or think of something else to add to a comment, it is easy to go back to your post and modify/edit it. Just click on the icon of the wrench at the top left corner of your post. This will bring you to editing tools. Then clicking on the pencil will bring you to your original post to edit it.
