i heard fiber is good for weight loss-- is that true? and i dont mean that it keeps you full or whatever, i mean does it act as a laxative or anything? to help the food digest and get out faster and cause you to lose weight? like, is metamucil any good for a natural laxative? thanx

Over the past few months i have hardly been eating anything:
Breakfast: Apple
Lunch: Tomatoes
Supper: Salad

I do this because i want to lose weight, but then at the same time i kind of want people to think i am anorexic, because i want the attention. I got the attention i wanted and tried to eat more but now i am in too deep.

Please can you not just say that i am stupid and this is all my fault because i know that and i am trying to fix it...i just want to know whether you think i am anorexic?

I still don't eat anything...

Thank you.

this morning i had toe surgery. they told me the numbness would go away in a couple of hours and it would become pretty painful.
i've been elevating all day and i've take the pain killers.
its been 13 hours since the surgery and the numbness is still there and i have no pain whatsoever.
is this normal? is it because i've been elevating and doing the pain killers?
or should i call the dr. tomorrow.
i kind of hope the pain starts because i'm worried there is nerve damage or something.

I cracked my nail during gym today (which sucks).

So according to this diagram that i found on Wikipedia, i seem to have cracked my "nail groove".

see here --> http://i10.tinypic.com/4gq6891.jpg

So bascially my nail is still in place except that theres a crack where the red line is (in the diagram) and it was bleeding. Im also missing a piece off the corner & it hurts...

Now my question is... WIll it grow back?! and be normal again?... about how long would it take? =( Im very worried.

Is it natural for a 19 yr. old male to have little patches of hair on top of his feet and on top of his toes? I keep it trimmed back with scissors but it is still noticeable. I don't want to shave it off b/c then it will be worse when it comes back. Is it natural?

When the weather turns from Winter to Spring (end of March) and from Summer to Fall ( October) I get terrible laryngitis that lasts a week or more.
Does anyone else find that weather change causes their laryngitis?
