Leaving the moral/health issues aside and just going by what they LOOK like-- Who is more abnormal? And why do you think so? Which body would you rather live in?

I have detailed my thoughts on my blog:

I am NOT starting a flame war and I don't want any hateful responses against either bodybuilders or overweight people.

I just recently started using tampons and everytime I have one in it feels uncomfortable. Could it be that Im not used to it yet or am I doing something wrong? Im using tampax pearl, so it goes in with no problem. I can feel it inside of me. Is this normal? Are there any tips to making tampon wearing more comfortable? I actually enjoy using tampons over pads.

I dunno what has happened but my toe is really swollen and the ball of my foot is also swollen and really painful to walk on.
If the toe was broken would I still be able to walk?

I've been on Crestor for about 8 months, and it, along with dietary changes, have lowered my cholesterol considerably. I haven't had any major side effects from it, but wondered if anyone has, and what they are so I know what to be on the lookout for.

I'm actually sure if this is more of a question or a 'please tell me I'm not going crazy' thing.
I'm 22years old. I've suffered from depression since I was 14. Somedays are better than others and sometimes I go through bad patches for weeks, sometimes months. Well, this is one of those times. I'm a student nurse, and I've had to put my studies on hold because I was too stressed out and it was depressing me. My best friend is sick with lung disease amongst other things and she doesn't look after herself. Shes in and out of hospital all the time. My grandmother is dying. She's so frail and she's fading away. My mother just started councilling and wont tell me why. She's always mad at me for something. I live at home and its sooo frustrating.
A few months ago I went to see my dr and he put me back on antidepressants, but things aren't getting any better so now I have to go back to the psychiatrist.
I'm exhausted with life.

I never lost a molar, and my oldest has not, but little brother-six years old-lost a molar today in school. Should I be concerned? His teeth are not rotten or anything-they are taken care of very well. We are not due for dentist appts. for three more months...

If the person that weights 350 lose 50 lbs and the person that weights 159 can't lose 50 lbs because she would be too small, so what's the best way to determine who lost the most, by doing it fairly for all ladies.

the doctors say a have facial neuralgia, it affects the right side of my face and my teeth and the right side, I have had three root canals and one extraction before they found out it was a nerve making everything hurt, they say there is nothing that can cure this, now they just are trying to figure out how to get me out of pain, I am taking an anti-seizure medication for this but it is not helping yet, I take 2400 mg of advil every day and that helps some. does anyone know anything about this or if it can be fixed?

Im 15 years old, and ive been overweight besically my whole life. But supposly i am loosing weight, and when i look at my school ID from last year, there dose seem to be a diffrence in my face.

but my main problem is my man boobs, their still there, some people dont notice them THAT much, but thats cause im always wearing a leather jacket. Do pushups help, cause ive been doing them alot. But i personally dont see a diffrence, but then again, i only been doing them for like a month or 2, and not that many sets. The only diffrence ive seen is that when i first started, i was only able to do 5 pushups, now i can do like 30 if i really really try.

I know alot of people are asking the same question, but i i just really wanna ask this myself. Thnx in advance for all the help.

I've heard that eating certain foods can actually reverse the effects of heart and coronary artery disease, such as plaque buildup, hardening of the arteries, etc. Is this true? How much of a change can the right foods really make, and do you have to eat massive quantities of these foods (vegetables, soy, etc.) to see a difference?
