Health - 14 December 2006

OK...my 6 year old daughter is a little overweight and becoming subconscious of it too. She says things like I am too fat, or people call me chubby. She always talks about exercising and eating better like she says we shouldn't eat pizza anymore or eat out ever. She also has already started developing boobs and I make her wear like sports bras everyday and she hates it. I don't know what to do, I have had her in sports and things but it doesn't help. Should I put her on a diet or what???

Does anyone know of good organizations that are working towards research and coping? What about research that is being done? What are your FM stories? No whiners please...I was diagnosed with FM 3 years ago, and I can't seem to find any activism going on towards finding relief/cures for this illness...every support group ends up being a bunch of people who can't stop complaining. I suffer from this debilitating illness just as much as the next person, but don't want to complain...I want to hear about success stories, treatments, people doing something to advance public education and get more research performed....this illness has progressed quietly long enough and it is time to get it out there in the public eye, like AIDS, MS, cancer...even asthma and arthritis have more public education and understanding. Anyone feel the same?

I am completely overwelmed with all the work I have on my plate, from a full semester as a older student, single mom, housework, pets, Christmas, Scrooge roommate.

I am stuck, overwelmed, goofing off when I shoud be working, but my brains feel like jelly, and I am so very tired.

Please no trite answers, for example, go for a walk, I am exhausted.

I need real inspiration, and no guilt trips either thanks. I have been busting my butt and my brains have just shut down. I started taking supplements for it, but they are not working, I really just want to sleep for a whole day.

the more times I masturbate, the harder it is to ejaculate. That was an unintentional rhyme. And I'm serious. Why?

or any ultra healthy dish similar to that, for lunch, etc.., I find myself amazingly tired and still a little hungry afterwards. I know leafy greens are what I should consume more of, but I'm not crazy about feeling groggy. Is there something I can take in after I eat a healthy dish to keep me awake and also feel full?

I have to admit, I am a pessimist. I can’t help it…when bad things keep happening to you, you start thinking everything will turn out bad. My fiancé keeps telling me that the reason so many bad things happen is because I bring it on myself for being a pessimist. It’s not like I do it on purpose, like I said, I can’t help it. I am starting to get really depressed because of everything going on in my life that I am starting to think maybe if I change my thinking, my situation will change. Does positive thinking really work? How do I stop thinking so negative?

My girlfriend had a couple of abnormal paps, so they had her go for a colposcopy. The results that came back never really told us anything...said they found some "reflective" cells and that was it said get another pap in 6 months so we are going to go to another doctor to get a second opinion. Her health means everything to me.

My question is, since all of this has come up our sex life has kind of died. She usually feels really uncomfortable and self-conscious about everything now thinking that I will or do look at her different or think she is "nasty" since she's had this problem. I keep telling her that I'll never look at her differently and she means everything to me. Have any of you other women felt this way and what more can I do to help reassure her then what I am doing everyday?
Thanks

I make ice tea out of green tea bags and bottle it in old gator aide bottles. I then can drink it instead of soda pop and I usually consume around 64 ounces per day. I noticed my stool turns yellow, like the tea appears to be. Is that positive or negative?
