Health - 27 November 2006

I'm so confused right now. I want to start eating healthy next year. But the problem is that I don't really eat that much meat. I can tell you the truth right now. And I know that I'm brave enough to say this. So... I got this big by eating nothing but Junk Food and Sodas and being lazy but I've changed now. I'm no longer lazy I clean up the house and take care of my mother. I barely watch TV anymore. I now read. And I've limited my computer time to only 1 hour a day.

But That only leaves me with diet and exercise. I'm thinking about fasting but that's not a good idea. I only want to eat Watermelon cubes and Celery and only drink water but that's not good.

So people please Help Me. I don't mind eating Chicken Breast. But to replace that is it OK to eat the Louis Rich Chicken Strips? Please Help Me People. Right Now I have a Walk away The Pound Tape and it's 4 miles. I'm only doing that until I lose about 70lbs because me being very obessed and all, it's limited my activites.

I work in a school and after feeling fine in the morning, after a short time in my classroom, I start to feel really crappy. I don't know if it's allergies or stress or both. Is there any way to tell before I see my doctor? And can they figure out if I'm allergic to the building without needing to go in there and check?
Thanks! :)

Ive been doing the upper and lower crunches/sit up thing, but how do i get the middle abs to appear? what exercise do you use to tone them? Ive already noticed some flattening with the upper and lower abs, but the middle is really annoying me.

I don't know if there's anything to worry about. About a week ago I had a normal period and now I have been getting mild cramping. Is that a sign that there's something wrong, or I s there a possibility that I could be pregnant? Like maybe implantation cramping? I'm not having any bleeding.

I didn't want to post anything because there was a question asking "Orgasms...love them or hate them?" and everyone yelled at the person for being so stupid; they said that everyone loved them. Well not me. I just don't like the feeling. Whenever I get close to an orgasm, I mean right THERE, I just stop. I don't like it. Since I am "supposed" to love them, why is it that I just can't go through with it?

Has anyone ever felt this way before?? really really lost??
k... well here is how i feel.... first of all i'm bulimic (kinda) like i don't binge (i just eat a regular amount or little less of food everyday) but i do end up throwing up alot of what i eat. I'm 14 years old. Heres the thing... i don't think i'm fat... I don't throw up to make myself look skinny. I have A LOT of stuff going on in my life (family UGH!!, school, and ballet) i used to cry a lot but then that just got too hard for me and i decided that i would deal with the pain in a physical way. I used to be a cutter but i stopped and thats when i started to make myself throwup. I used to just throw up when i got really upset but now i throw up on a regular basis. Pretty much i'm just really confused and lost cuz... i don't like throwing up (or cutting) but i can't handle being depressed and sad. any advice?? oh and counsling didn't work. i had it when i was cutting. But my parents don't know about the bulimia.

After every break from school i feel like i slip into deep depression or at least thats what i think it is... i feel like total crap, unproductive and anything seems to upset me at night i sometimes stay up for hours just cry for no apperant reason. Like right now its 11:13 pm on a school night i feel like i should tell someone but... I feel they wont care about my problem or just make fun of me for it. The only emotions i seem to be able to tap into are sadness, anger and dispair im a normal teenage boy who just wants to live my life without a cloud of sadness hanging over me keeping me from doing the things i like i just want to be normal..... I have i doctors apointment soon and i am thinking about telling my doctor about my depression the weird thing is it only occurs after a schoool break i think i need help.

Ok, so for about three months I've though I had bedbugs. Two weeks ago the exterminator came and set up traps to catch the suckers, but we haven't caught anything yet. Also, I went home to see my family for the weekend and I got bitten there as well.
There haven't been any signs of bedbugs (no excrement, no blood stains on the sheets). My cat sleeps in the same bed that I do but he does not get bitten. So I'm wondering, is there something living on my skin that could be biting me?
The bites look just like misquito bites, but they shrink in size after a day or two and look like flea bites. I can't feel myself getting bitten, but immediatly after I itch. I get bitten durring the day (but this could be because of bedbugs in my clothes?) as well as at night, but no one visiting my apartment has been bitten.
I'm at a complete loss, but I've been getting bites for almost 3 months now and I'm at my wits end. If you have any insight, please share!
