Health - 24 September 2006

I was picked on a lot in school. I thought I didn't stand up for myself because I ignored the insults and regret not fighting back. I realized this and now with people at work, I have started to be sarcastic back to them when they insult me to let them see I don't like what they say to me. I know they like to see me angry and want me to hurt them. But I don't give them the satisfaction of me being angry.

Any other tips on how to stand up for myself. Am I doing the right thing?

Is this a product that you have used yourself or know of people that used it and worked?I would really appreciate all your help.

Please share experience, like how it works and how much it costs. Their website wasn't very specific.

Almost every diet plan and many others say you have to drink lots of water, like 2 quarts a day. Apparently soda and coffee doesn't count. Multiple reasons are given.

What's the scientific truth?

I mean, soda is essentially water, CO2, flavors and sweeteners, so why doesn't it count? Milk, iced tea, coffee, are primarily composed of water. If they don't count, then why don't I die when I just drink those for 3 or 4 days straight, with no plain water? Obviously I am metabolizing the water.

Also, why so much? Dehydration is often cited. So how can I be dehydrated when I'm urinating once every few hours? Am I to believe that dehydration consists of a state where I am urinating less than 12 times a day?

Does it actually help you lose weight, other than help you avoid retaining water? How?

Can one become addicted to second hand smoke? Both my parents smoke and when I was away from them and most general smokers for 7 months I got really bad headaches the first few months I was there, that eased if I went out back to the 'smokers patio'.

I am 100 pounds overweight, but I've just recently started a very big life overhaul........I'm eating healthy, taking health classes, hired a personal trainer, spending 2-3 hours per day at the gym. I am 100% committed to lose weight, but I want to know how I can get healthy and not end up with all this hanging skin afterwards??

Is the secret in slowing down the weight loss?

Am I destined to have this hanging skin no matter how I do it?

By the way, I am 5'4" and 240 pounds. My goal weight is 140. I'm totally committed and I'm in a hospital supervised program........and they have suggested a weight loss of 2-3 pounds per week........but no one will answer me about this hanging skin potential problem.

Is there something I can do while I'm losing the weight to prevent it?

I recently started to notice an odor from my scalp and hair. What can be causeing it and what can I do to get rid of the smell besides the obvious answer of washing it. I've been going to bed with my hair damp lately in the evenings may this cause some sort of bacteria to form on my scalp overnight. Need some tips on what I can use and what to avoid doing . Should I blowdry my hair before going to bed or let it air dry completely.

I have a lot of stiffness and pain in my fingers. I thought it was because I started a job where I have to use my hands all day but now it has moved to my left hand as well and I don't use that one very often. It is worse in the morning or when it is cold but arthritis meds don't do anything. It feels like there is fluid or something on my knuckles that won't let them bend. Can't afford going to doctor but would like to know what it is.
