Health - 19 August 2007

I'm 18 years old, attending college, 6'1", and about 160 pounds. I work out regularly and like to eat very healthy.

However, I get these insane sugar cravings and sugar binges almost daily that consists of binging every sugar item I can find around me! This includes ice cream, cookies, chips, power bars, granola bars, cereal, chocolate, donuts, yogurt, plus anything else I forgot to mention ALL in the same night! Even after I get full or feel like I've eaten way too much, I still continue to eat everything just because it tastes so good!

How can I stop myself from doing this? Recently, I've noticed that I do these sugar binges more often at night, when I am bored and have nothing to do. Also, these binges usually occur after sampling ANY junk food or sugar food.

I am not really gaining weight because I eat healthy otherwise and work out a lot. However, these binges make me feel like crap and bloated in the morning, and I want to stop. Any suggestions?

that she was recently diagnosed with both herpes and genital warts. She told me she also has a really bad rash right now and it's itching her and it's painful.

So now, I am paranoid beyond belief and I'm wiping down and nearly sterilizing the toilet (we share the only bathroom) seat before I go to the bathroom. Should I be really worried, or should I keep doing this, or go to a friends' in our complex?

Serious responses only please.

I am guilty of not drinking water and being dehydrated through COFFEE and COLA for years!!...I started a ''get-fit'' regime a week ago. This partly involves drinking lots of water to flush out toxins to help get rid of cellulite etc etc....I have been drinking 2 mugs of HOT boiled water when I wake...Ice cold water through the day and WARM boiled water before eating to help fill the stomach...For the first few days i felt GREAT, energised, body aches and pains gone...no brain fogs....BUT then I felt really BLAH.....I had no energy, couldnt get motivated, ached all over, felt like i had Flu coming. Kept going hot and shivery......My question IS....was it the water or was I by chance fighting off a virus or illness????....Any Idea's ???.....I want to keep going but HATE feeling so blah....
Thanks for your help.........

Which is healthier for me Caffinated coffee or Decaffinated coffee.
Im under the impression that decaff is actually full if chemicals that are used to remove the caffine, so would I be better off sticking to caffinated?

Going to the doctor tomorrow, I think I'm having an outbreak right now, from what I've read.

I feel nauseated, stressed, and feel very itchy where the bumps have formed on my penis. But my legs have gotten red and itchy as well.

Is it a problem to scratch at it?

Also, what are the best over the counter medicines to take? Something a 17 year old can buy at Wal-Mart (wal-mart only, no wal-greens or other places avaliable)

My IQ is 146 - I know because I was tested for giftedness in Junior High school.

Since the internet is anonymous, I don't mind anyone knowing. But, would it be considered bragging to tell someone if they ask? I'd rather just tell no one. I've always felt that if someone tells me they have a high IQ, they're probably lying, or their very full of themself.

Any thoughts?
