I'm a black belt in karate and Im also on a summer league and highschool swimteam, and I weigh 167lbs. I don't eat any differently than the healthier and slimmer girls on my swimteam and I actually excercise more in an attempt to lose weight and I don't get why Im still overweight. I read somewhere that you can look bigger by building muscle under your fat, and I think that's my problem. I always wondered why my legs were exceptionally big when my kicks in karate were so high and so powerful compared to everyone else's in my class. When I heard about the "muscle under fat" idea, I was furious because I didn't know how to burn fat instead of gain muscle. Swimming for my highschool includes running near a mile everyday and then jumping jacks, vertical jumps in and out of the pool, pushups, situps, crunches, and tons of other workouts that I thought would burn fat. HELP!!! : (

Lately, I've been feeling very uncomfortable sitting or standing. I'm always in bed. Do you think this has to do with my depression, my anemia, or both?

My therapist used to help me with my problems, but in the past month she has not been helpful. My therapist also says that she is ineffective in helping me. She says that she feels "helpless" to do anything for me as my therapist. She even wants me to see other professionals who would give her guidance on helping me. But my mom wants me to keep seeing this therapist because she will "go crazy" if we look for another therapist. I have seen a number of therapists before. My mom gets stressed at the idea of seeing a new therapist. She thinks that we will be "going around in a circle", seeing a new therapist every few months. I feel that if I stay with this therapist it will be a waste of time. What should I do- stay with this therapist to make my mom happy, or look for a new one who might be able to help me more?

My husband has borderline personality disorder and now it is believed he has rad...reactive attachment disorder, as well. I looked up the symptoms and believe there may be reason for concern especially since he lacks understanding of cause and affect as well as having a lack of empathy for others. For example, when our youngest was two, he grabbed a butcher knife I had left on the counter, I know...that was stupid...My husband saw him take it and run off with it. All he did about it was say, "Well, you'll learn to put things away when he stabs someone or falls on it and dies." I yelled, "grab it from him." He responded, "You get it, you are the one who left it out...." I can't understand that behavior. Our other older children couldn't understand it either. It was obvious to all of us that the risk of the baby's getting injured meant nothing to him so much as the fact that "I" was the one who had made a mistake. How dangerous is he? Could he kill us in our sleep? Shoot us?

I'm really worried about whether I'm going to get mono, so here's the situation:
I recently went to camp and my counselor had just recovered from mono. I think she had it like 2 weeks before I went to camp, and she had supposedly recovered. Two days ago, I let her borrow my chapstick without realizing that she had mono before, and I used it again after her. Am I going to get sick?
I have been feeling quite tired, unusually cold, and I have had a loss of appetite, but I think that this is because I'm tired from camp.

What was the cost? Was there pain?
I can't remember to take the pill, the ring was too uncomfortable, the patch irritates my skin, I travel too much and too erratically to do the depo shots, I've heard horror stories about the rods coming out of peoples' arms, and I don't like the idea of an IUD. My husband and I agree that we do not want children, but he is understandably nervous about the idea of a vasectomy...can anyone describe to me what they went through during and after the essure procedure? Did you have any down time? Did it adversly affect your cycle or mood?

Whenever I eat an apple, my throat (and kind of my ear canal...) gets itchy. It doesn't happen when the apples are cooked, though. The same thing happens (but not as much) with peaches and plums.

Is there some common item in these fruits that I'm allergic to?
