My girlfriend really wants to lose weight. I agree that she could lose a few pounds, but it isn't all that important to me. She still looks great. The problem is that she complains that she wants to lose weight, and then she goes to Taco Bell to eat. She excercises and then thinks that means she can go to Dairy Queen. I don't want to make it sound like she needs to lose weight, I just want to help her reach her goal without sounding like a jerk.

Is it normal or even possible for adults to regress (go back to an earlier stage and do something they did/enjoyed earlier in life) when faced with a painful or stressful, emotional obstacle?

When I say regression, i'm talking about episodes where the person might go back to thumb sucking, cuddling a teddy, bed wetting.. that sort of thing??

Is there an easy way of coping/overcoming all of it?

I was reading a magazine the other day and I read that oral sex can cause throat cancer because of the HPV virus. Then on the radio today my husband heard the same thing.

I am 17 a seventeen year old girl, weighing about 150 lbs. However my measurements are 39-27-41 (I have some mad curves going on). However, I like them... I want to weigh between 125-130... I am a size 5 believe it or not. I am just built really weird. Are there any diet/workout plans for me so I will not lose my curves. I want to get toned arms and more muscular legs as well as a sexy core. I have a gym membership so any classes that would help with this would be awesome!!!

I am going to go for a lifeguard course. I am CPR trained, but, they never quite specified the proper protocol for a drowning/near drowning victim. assuming you pull out a victim with no pulse or breathing, what exactly do you do?

rescue breathing isnt effective because there is water inside the victim's lungs. how do you get it out?

ok, so my doctor says a cat scan showed that I have fluid in my abdomen likely of a gyno. nature... but then I haven't had my period for a year and a half... I don't think I have cysts, so what is this fluid? and can I get rid of it? or should I? Is that why I maybe look bloated sometimes? I don't get it... I had an appendectomy in Europe, but I'm fine, that was like two years ago. I'm a vegetarian. I'm really pretty healthy... and don't worry, I won't be taking any answers and then holding people responsible for misinformation or whatever...I admire people with the courage to answer medical q's...yikes!

I love vegetables but don't enjoy eating fruit. I also feel that my body is sensitive to sugar. Because of this, I feel that when I eat fruit it makes me hungrier than if I didn't eat it at all.

Does fruit really have vitamins that vegetables don't, or will I be okay if I make up for not eating much fruit by eating more vegetables?

(On a side note, I will mention that I have a strong family history of diabetes-both parents and two grandparents developed it in old age. However, I've been tested and so far I do not have it.)

my problem is that i cannot communicate with people on any level, I left school early because of my illness and i have no education because of it. That means it will be unlikey that i will get employment in the future. The reason i left school was because i couldnt cope with the confusion that i was going through. The worst problem i have is making friends or even saying hello to people, people seem to dislike me the second they see me. Most of the time i spend alone,i can't even communicate with my family. I know people with aspergers syndrome have the same problems as me by my case is worse. I will never have a family, children or get married or be employed and that just a few things that affect me because of my illness my question is WHY ME.

Does size really matter? Everyone says it does, but health teachers will tell you size does not matter. Truthfully, does the size really have an effect on how good the sex is?

I have a six year old cries at the drop of a hat; if he doesn't want to leave his papa's or can't stay the night with his aunt mainly. but he also cries over flipping tickets at school or if he can't go for a walk. he also expresses that he's had a bad day almost every other day and sometimes goes so far as to say that this is the worst day ever. he just doesn't seem happy. is he to young for depression and is there anything i can do to get him out of it? he is into sports and likes to go to the park and is active.
