Health - 4 January 2007

I never considered myself overweight until I looked online and found my BMI to be 28. I am 5'11 19 years old 200lbs athletic my whole life and I work at Abercrombie as a store model. I think if most people saw me, theyd guess I weigh 170 but I have muscular legs (from soccer) which carry most the weight. I'm told online that I am a risk for health problems and obesity? I drink water, fruit, protein, and everything healthy? I take vitamins and lift weights? Am I wrong...or is the internet wrong?

Other than drugs - what do you do to deal with it?

I remind myself of ways that I'm lucky or blessed, and I try to keep my mind occupied on other things - boys, usually ;) And foot baths! My feet aren't hurting or anything, but it's just really comforting for some reason.

Any other suggestions? Things you think about? Breathing exercises?

Can you have an allergic reaction to penicillin 5 days after you've already been taking it? I woke up this morning and the left side of my jaw feels sore and a little swollen. Not too sure if it's something to be concerned about, and whether or not I should continue taking my pills...

Okay, my new year's resolution was to go on a diet FOR GOOD. I'm getting married on 12.20.07 and I want to loose 30 punds by then. That's do-able right? I know, I want to loose weight, and I do good for a few days, but when I see someone eating something really bad, then I eat some too... WAY TOO MUCH. What the heck is wrong with me, that I think I need these foods? How can I finally loose the weight that I want to and not binge?

I have changed my eating habits into a healthier lifestyle. The only thing I can't seem to change is switching from white bread to wheat bread (or equvilant). If I am working out 5 days a week for an hour on an elliptical trainers at the gym and eat a nutritious diet. Are a few slices (3-5 slices) of white bread a week going to make that much of a difference in my weight loss goal efforts? I am 5'5" tall, 255lb., medium framed 25-year old woman. I am currently wearing a 20/22. My goal is to be 180lbs. and in size 14 by June 30,2007 (family reunion).

I have a 12 yr old son on strattera.The med- does not seem to be working.I'm not dr. but i dont want to put him threw this medication and threw that medication.He has trouble at school with his grades,he says he cant sit in his chair for the length of time,and is always messing with other children and not paying attention when he is supposed to. I have 3 other children, He runs circles oround them, i have a four yr old that cant handle him, and i thought it should be the other way, where my four yr old is running circle's oround him.He has to be told several times to get on with his homework and to do his chores, he does have rules to follow.He is a child that needs more attention than my others do.He is a very very hyper child and his attention span his short. So im not sure if he needs to be on these medication or its just somthing eles.any advice would be great.

Okay, here's a question for you that I can't find an answer for. My wife, who has something of a food fetish, would like me to insert a peeled banana inside her and then make love with her.

Yeah, yeah, I can already 'hear' the jokes...

But, my question is: If we do this are there any probable (not possible but probable) negative health issues that could arise from this act. I'm thinking specifically of yeast infections etc. but I don't know the probability since the vaginal area is fairly acidic in comparison to the normal pH of a ripe banana.

Sorry for the manner in which this question was stated but I wanted to phrase it in such a way that the Yahoo 'monitors' might actually let it stand since they are so 'violation and deletion' happy.

I'd appreciate all serious answers to this question and, of course, I expect for some to ridicule the question.

Thanks!
