Health - 13 August 2006

I've had problems keeping my weight normal since a few years now. I had a baby 4 months ago and now i'm desperate to fit back into size 10 clothes(i'm a 16 now). The problem is whenever i feel low i binge eat ,sometimes i don't get back on my diet for a few days and i gain back the pounds that i just lost.
I realised recently that my attitude towards food stems from my childhood.
My parents would give me the same food portions as them and tell me if i didn't eat it all then i'd eat it for breakfast.
When i went to my grandparents every sunday i felt safe and happy. The thing is whilst i was there they would stuff me full of sweets, cakes, trifle, crisps, chocolate, ice-cream - you name it they had it, and i could eat whatever i wanted.
I eat big portions, i can never seem to stop when i'm full and i binge on crappy foods when i'm down - if theres none in the cupboards then i go the bakery and get choc ecairs etc.

anyone know how i can combat this?

I have been told that my calories are too low and that my body is in starvation mode, so my weight loss is really hindered.
I am currently taking in about 1200 calories daily. Eating very healthily but those pounds are shifting VERY slowly.
I have calculated (according to burn the fat) that to burn bodyfat, i should be on at least 1700 calories daily.
It seems ALOT!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
I work out 6 days a week (3 days weights and 3 cardio)
help please.

I recently started dating someone. A week ago, he told me that he was getting a cold sore. I met him again yesterday, and he had two big cold sores around his mouth. I didn't know about cold sores much, and we kissed yesterday several times (so his cold sores are a week-old). Today, I did some research on cold sores, and found out it could be very contagious. I've never had any cold sores in my life, and am I going to get it for sure now I've kissed him or is there a possibility that I might not get that? If I'm going to get it for sure, I'd like to meet with a doctor and get the medication before it happens.

I'm really scared now.. Please help!!
Thank you.

When I was 20 I could get really drunk, and be fine the next day. 11 years later I find that it takes me 2/3 days to recover fully.
Is there a medical explanation for this, or is it simply because I hardly ever drink now, but when I was a student I stuck them away?

for those of you in commited and satisfying sexual relationships, how does "selfpleasuring" affect your sex life? i have heard that masturbation can cause bad habits in guys, not lasting as long, focusing more on themselves during sex, instant gratification expectations, etc. If you depend only on your woman to please you, is your sex life better, more fulfilling? Personal experiences, no stupid immature remarks please, honest question.

I would like to lose about 5kgs in 2 months.
I generally eat healthy food ie I have my 5 serves of veg and 2 serves of fruit each day and i eat cereal for breakfast. I exercise for an 1hr on 4 times during the week. But I still can't seem to shed this excess weight I have particularly around my stomach area which is really embarissing not to mention annoying. I just want to lose it the healthy way. Can you give me any tips?

I have been abusing laxatives for quite some time now. I want to stop but it just seems really hard. I eat right (fiber rich foods), exercise 3-5x a week. I drink water like crazy. I can't seem to go to the bathroom no matter what i do so i always seem to have to use a laxative. I don't want to use them anymore but nothing else works anymore.

Well..Where do I start..the last day of my last period was five days ago...it was normal, not heavy or light, it only lasted around four days, and thats about two days shorter than usual. Now today i started spotting, it was a light red, not at all dark like the usual periods, and it was a lot thinner, like the blood of a finger cut., maybe even thinner. Also I was slightly cramping..I want to know is it possible for periods to start and stop like that...or could this be something more serious?

Also I've been really tired lately...but I get enough sleep,and i only work part time, so there's no real stress going on right now..?

LOL sounds silly but what if it's like cancer or something..


O.K. people give it to me straight!!
