Please don't say 'nothing with carbs', because again this is my first time doing a diet so I don't know what that means. Just tell me specific foods, Thanks.

when i was 11 i was sexually abused by a 56 yr old man. when i told the police about it, i was scared and didnt tell them everything, n what i didnt tell them was probly the most important thing...(a) he grabbed my hand and made me touch his...."male bits" and (b) he fingered me.....

does this count as rape or just severe sexual abuse?

(i didnt know what category this should of gone in, but seein as im a girl womens health will do)

I have REALLY small wrists and forearm area. It's actually quite embarrassing. I don't understand it because my biceps are actually quite large in proportion to the rest of my arm. How do I make the lower part of my arm bigger?

okay, my bf is a drug addict. its been a long hard road, but i love him, and i can tell that he is trying, maybe not as hard as he could, but we are getting there. okay, well im not an addict so it was IMPOSSIABLE for me to understand the whole addiction process and how he couldnt just stop. if he doesnt want to do them, then whay does he? right? what was my way of thinking, but tonight i realized.. and even though im not an addict and they say someone whos not will never understand, i do. and ill tell you why and this is where i need your help. i use to cut myself a long time ago, and it was HARD to quit.well tonight i did again, for the first time in like 3 years.and thats when it hit me. i relapsed. no its not a drug, but it is a way of copeing.like drugs. it only physically hurts you, but can hurt those who love you if they knew. and like he tried to hide his addiction, i try so hard to hide the cuts and scars... i think i finally understand. do you think its the same in any way?

i went to two different dermatologists in the course of 3 years to get rid of my acne. i have VERY sensitive skin and the topicals irritated my skin. my skin got worse and more irritated. i went on birth control and many antibiotics. both of the doctors told me i had one last resort: accutane. i dont want to take accutane and i have no plans to take it. i also did the photodynamic therapy about 3 months ago. my skin used to be very oily, now it is very dry! i dont want to do the photodynamic therapy again because of this.

i havent been on any medication or topicals for about 3 months. i like it this way. i like not having to apply irriating/stinging creams on my skin. my skin is still breaking out but less than before. however, i have many pigmentation scars that are prominent. what do you guys think i should do about that?

my dad told me to go back to the derm but i dont want to do that. i know they will tell me the same thing: accutane or laser. what should i do about that?
