Well I'm using special K to substitute some meals here and there to jumpstart my diet. I'm wondering which is better to use, soy milk or skim milk, for dieting.

I want to lose 50 pounds by Christmas. What is the easiest way to do this?

I have a very very hard time sticking to those diets where I have to count calories, or count fat, or add stuff up like that.

Okay so I eat a pretty healthy diet, for dinner i usually have a cup of lentils. I know that lentils contain a large amount of carbs. Since I'm eating these lentils at night fro dinner will the carbs turn into fat, even if theyre very healthy?

Anytime I am around people I dont know, I cant breathe, my heart starts pounding like crazy. I work by a park, when I get out of work I walk home, and when I walk by the kids in the park, I get very nervous, and I just dont understand, the kids are only like 5 to 12 years old. The same thing happens anytime I am going for a walk, and someone walks by me, I always get the feeling that they are going to attack me. When I am in my car and someone pulls up next to me, I cant even look at them, when they pull up next to me, I get very nervous like they are going to do something to me. I never make eye contact with anyone I dont know, because I think that is it going to set them off. What I dont understand is that I have never been attacked, I have no reason to feel like this. I live in a good neighborhood, nothing bad ever happens here. I am a 24 year old male. Does anyone know how I can get anxiety medication, I dont want to go to the doctor, I think he will think I am just making it up.

I read survival rates and they say things like " 1 year survival rate 93 % , 10 year survival rate 64% ( those are for hodgkins lymphoma). Does that mean that after one year 93% of ppl are still alive, and after 15 years only 64% of ppl are still alive ? Or does it mean that if it hasnt been cured after 15years, theres only a 64% chance of cure ?

Dear all, well I received a good responce and advice to my question, many of you have adivice medices and patches and some one has advice that I should reduce but believe me you all that it is very difficult to reduce because I am living alone many a times so nothing to do and some time in countries like Yemen and Iran where you actully can't do any thing so it was really hard for me but when I asked this question and when I started receiving your replies , I thought to quit any ways so fro last 55 hours I didn't smoke and I beleive that I can really quit, Thanks to all for your advice

Right now I'm 13 and I'm 5'6 5'7 ish.
I grew really quicker than other girls my age.

My mom is 5'6 and my dad is 5'11.

So I wondering if anyone could possibly give me an estimate on how tall I will get.
Since I know that you don't really stop growing until your like 16 or so.

I'm also a vegan and my mom says that thats gonna stop me from growing any more.

If anyone could tell me anything, it would be greatly appreciated.

=)

by the way, I'm half white, and half mexican. I don't know if that has to do with my height or not.

Every so often I will stand up and get a sudden clogging of my ears, (like cotton was put into them) a stiff neck, and dizziness. Sometimes is will go away after a couple times and others it will happen every time I get up during the day. What is this, how can I fix it and is it normal?

First of all, I have a caring and sincere doctor who I had for many years. The problem isn't my doctor. The problem is me. I do not feel I will return to a normal life. My doctor has tried every option and after years of medications and hospitalizations, I feel it time to let it go. I'm severely depressed and I don't feel there is hope for me. My doctor has tried everything, but I feel I it's time that she needs to part from me. I admit that I just don't want to wake up on morning. I'm not sad, just very very tired. I don't want anymore medications. I'm only an liability on the doctor. I stopped talking about giving up months ago because it only will cause more problems. I do not want to hurt anyone, but at the same time, I just want the pain to stop.

Anyway, sorry to make a long post. My question is "can I part from the psychiatrist?" I'm I legally bound to the doctor because I am depressed?

If speed causes an explosion on dopamine receptors and it keeps me alert and able to do normal things, is there anything that is not so strong but still lets your brain keep a normal level? I suffer major depression and ptsd, and have A.D.D.
Ritalin only affects 2 dopamine receptors and I can still sleep 16 hours a day. I live in Australia and also am on Paxil 20mg taken at night.

I am in a vulnerable situation. I am homeless, trying to get a life ei; looking for housing ect; I have a friend here that says he's out for my best interest but is indirectly saying he wants something more. I would not be here if I had somewhere else to go & it won't be much longer till I'm gone. I've made it perfectly clear thers's nothing between us and yet he always seems 2 find a way to try and manipulate me to try & try to control me. He just wants to be near me but I'm crowded?

This morning I woke up and couldn't move my arms...I thought I had just slept on them (you know how that is, but usually it's one arm) so i tried to fling my body over. I didn't move AT ALL. I tried moving my legs...and nothing worked! I tried talking, screaming, and even opening my mouth...my body felt like it was completely dead or something. Finally I snapped out of it (probably 20 seconds altogether) but I still find it so strange. I know I was awake, and my eyes were halfway open, but my body was NOT moving. Has anyone experienced this? Is it a sign of bad health or what? So odd...
