my mom had a brain aneurysm about 13 yrs ago. it changed her personality. she is mostly negative... about 1 yr ago my parents divorced. my mom lives w/ me and my family. i can not handle the negative attitude or the feel sorry for herself situation or her extreme lack of patience. i have my own children and need to focus on them. i can not get her motivated to meet people her age. i find myself crying for feeling so irritated w/ her.. she is my mom.. i understand things have been rough. i am not sure how to turn her into a positive person.. i don't want the negativity to rub off on me or my girls.

My doctor says that this drug will give almost natural sleep but I will become an addict and may require higher dosage in the long run. Can I have a different solution? I may not be able to do a lot of physical exercises, I have no other health problem except hypertension(blood pressure) which is under control by a different medicine . My stress level is just normal.

my bf is my first sex partner so i don't kno what's normal in terms of numbers. anyway he went to college and was in a frat, played football, etc. he said he had himself a "good time" on spring breaks in Cancun n' Vegas -- number of girls he been with is about 25-35. he's in late 20's. said that he think it's a normal number -- is this too many lovers? also, bf says most of the girls he just got oral sex from. he seems settled and stable w/ me but i'm just confused....

Do I require more calories because of my extended day? I am active and work out 2 hours daily. I am not overweight, just maintaining my weight.

I gained a few LBS more than I want to weigh so I started an exercise routine. Eating healthy, taking my dog for a lot of walks, and weight machines at the gym. I have noticed a pretty big change. I have dropped 1-2 pants sizes and I can feel muscles in my legs forming. BUT when I step on the scale it says I have only lost 2-3 lbs in these past several months. How come I see a difference and obviously there is a difference but according to the scale there isnt much change?
Also anyone have any ideas on how to get my arms thinner? Any good arm exercises?

We send a little money to help make ends meet and it has helped. The grade school kids are responding to some tutoring.

Now for the health problems: Mom 28, dad 30, both at least 50lbs over ideal. Kids- girls- age 6 and 7, already at least 30 lbs over.

We know lots of healthy tips, but most cost money. They live in a large metro area in Michigan, so shopping should be OK except for good produce in the winter.

I think they just buy the convenience food on sale, like cheap pizza, etc.

From my view maybe starting with "how to cook", or "how to read labels" books, or maybe pick a meal and give them improvement ideas- ie breakfast tips. 'Prevention' magazine?

I know having little money can be a problem, and having finicky kids can drive a mom crazy.

Any tips, books, ideas, successes, programs, please.

Is it worse? I ask because my tonsils are gone and have been for a year or two, and my throat hurts really bad, I'm just wondering if when you get them removed it's like a "You won't get sore throats as much but when you get them they're way bad" type thing.

So, I have been on the pill for 5 months. Even though I've been eating exactly the same things in the same quantities I always have, I've been gaining 5 pounds a month. Exercise hasn't affected the weight, and I can't seem to lose any -- I just keep gaining and gaining. I'm going to go off the pill to see if it was to blame, but I have a greater concern about maybe having a metabolic disorder. Is there one that would make you gain weight very rapidly and have trouble losing it?

Meditcation works but is not a total fix. Couseling gets it out but not a total fix.

So I don't know if there is something wrong with my eyes but I always see these little things floating around. They don't really look like anything other than when I see one the image is distorted a bit (it's just blurry wherever they are floating around and I can see a very faint outline). And the things have multiple shapes and figures. They float around for about 10 seconds and then they're gone. They usually come out of the bottom of my eyesight and move up and then they fall back down. I don't think it's my eyesight because when I put something in front of my eyes I can't see them anymore but when I bring it back it is there again. I probably see one every 15 minutes or so. Sorry this is such a bad explanation but it's hard to explain.

So does anyone else see these or are my eyes just messed up?
