I have a special diet that I use when I get a little over weight and that is to count the calories I consume durring the day. I try to stay within a 1000 to 1500 hundred a day and it seems to work out for me. My diet consist mostly of refried beans and can chicken mixed with tomatoes and corn. It really works as I have lost probably 20 lbs in two months not bad. I have not noiticed any problems with excessive gas also.. Jon

Did you know that saying thank you to people for their thoughts and prayers during my husbands battle with cancer was against the rules? I got a violation for this and the post deleted. My husband lost his battle this week. Is it ok to thank everyone for thinking of him?

I'm a red head, which means I'm cursed with a pink complexion. After being out in the cold, heat, or after a few drinks, my neck, upper arms and face turn really bright red and I look awful. I wear foundation on my face and neck but the red still shows up! I'm really sensitive about it. How can I stop it?

Alrite, Im only 15 & he's 24. He's kind of in an on & off relationship with another girl & i think he loves her. He says he likes me & I like him alot too. I don't wanna lecture about the age either, his girlfriend right now is only 15 too so it doesn't really matter about the age. I don't know if i should get in the way of their relationship, but i dont wanna stop talking to him either.

What to do?
NO LECTURES.

I'd rather not buy them online; I have a good Whole Foods market near me where I can obtain them.
This can apply to lessening the effects of pms, or just lifting a bad mood or depressed mood in general.
If you know any herbs I can get that will put me in better moods or calm irritability, let me know. Thanks. :)

I don't think i have depression, but I find it very difficult to wake up in the morning and its hard to do things. Instead of going to school and studying I just stay home and sleep for most of the day and then when I have some energy to get up I just sit infront of the TV. I also have no motivation to really do anything. I have a great life, familty, and a great job in my field. But I feel really lazy and want to know if this is depression or should i be taking ginsing pills for some extra energy?

Is it possible for a girl (not myself) who wasnt techinically molested to still be scared of contact with boys? The sistutation was when this girl was little this weird college aged boy at her local pool would alwasy ask her to sit on his lap. She would squirm , swim extra laps, and make up excuses not too but he made her feel guilty for not sitting on his lap. He would tell her mom that she wasn't being nice to him and that she had been swimming laps instead of tlaking with him. So then she would for maybe 15 minutes at a time because she felt guilty, like she was being mean, and he would just talk to her and she would just be creeped out. It wasnt molestation, but is that event enough to scare someone later in life from sexual contact?

I bought some rollerblades last summer and spent about $80. In the store they felt fine, and smooth. After wearing them outside, it hurts my feet so bad I have to stop. There are throbbing pains on the insides and outsides of my feet... I tried wearing more socks, that didn't help. I tried arches, that didn't help... What can I do? Are there things out there you can buy specifically for rollerblades to give you more support/comfort? Please help! I'd hate for all that money to go to waste & I can't return them because I've already worn them outside...

I believe I have an axiety problem. Now I don't know for sure if this is true because a professional hasn't diagnosed me with anything but I am almost certain I do have one. I am constantly nervous, in public I am constantly thinking about how people are viewing me at the time. Everything I do I try to hide because I don't want people to view me differently because I will get embarassed. My palms are CONSTANTLY sweaty because I am always nervous. I'm very shy and hardly speak to anyone I don't know well, and I hate it! I used to not care because I didn't think it'd effect me much in life. But now I am 16 and in my sophomore year in high school and things are just way harder when I think like this. I want help, but it's going to be hard to tell my parents because my dad is always angry and thinks he is always right. I know if I told him I have anxiety he'd just say "You damn teenagers always think of excuses in life!" and yell at me. How should I tell my parents about this?
