I just got done watching the Victoria's Secret style show on the tube. I feel like someone hit me up side the head with a board. I have been seriously dieting since January of 2007 and I have lost 120 pounds. I am with in 15 or 20 pounds of the target weight that the Doctors have for me. As I was watching the show, I really began to understand the hopelessness that some gals have when it comes to dieting and trying to better themselves physically when the media and such put out these kinds of shows where an impossible standard is presented as the ultimate in female looks. It is no wonder that women become so hopeless when it comes to weight. How do you combat the attack on your focus that goes one when you are working so hard to take the fat off?

ok i'm 17 and i have a lot of problems with my health i think.......i have 2 questions so i'll just post them here. First is i get tired easily, not physically but a bit mentally, i get sleepy kinda easily and whenever i tried to read books or study i just get tired. But if i play e.g. computer games i don't, i can play for quite a long time.....i tried to study or concentrate and i sleep early and wake up early but still tired.......i don't play games a lot and don't study a lot and don't have stress or anything but just get tired easily..........i do sports as well but don't get tired in that, just feel sleepy easily.......

also i have problems with shaving my pubic hair, i find it annoying doing it and is there a way to make your pubic hair stop growing? Maybe a cream or a pill or something? Also do they have side effects? And please just answer my question instead of getting sidetracked or telling me y i should shave etc, i just wanna know the answer to my question thanks.

In one of Kalos's many posts, at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aoz6xe.mKvR0b24fgcMipe7sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071204092537AAM2FTx&show=7#profile-info-7M8Z3dELaa

He said the following
"Gerson was an mid-century crackpot whose diet ideas have been repeated and modified in modern Altmed diets. Essentially, he believed diseases — especially cancer — were caused by stagnant toxins and inadequate oxygen"
(along with the standard diabtribe about how this is all wrong).

I gave a good reply to it (link to youtube video is at the question), but when I read that specific part over again, I believe that I found a false hood. Tell me if I'm correct.
Cancer occurs when a cell switches from using oxygen to fermentation (and many chemicals have been shown to help cause this aka carcinogens). Given that fact, does that mean his assertion is completely innacurate? (or am I not connecting the two ideas properly).
This isn't meant to be an anti Kalos post, I just want to know if I'm correct.

Now the burning has spread to my right foot during the last 0ne week& the burning is there continuously during the last 10 days.I do not feel the burning when I walk or during sleep. After I wake up, when I start to work in sitting position or relax, my feet start to burn
For Diab, I was taking Euglucon 1 tab two times a day, Melmet-500 (Metformin)1 Tab two times a day and Rezult 2mg once a day with Centrum(A-z). I stopped Rezult 3months ago but added Euglucon half tab two times.
The foot burning is making me restless.Pl. advise.

it looks like a spider bite,
but im not sure.
its red all around the bite, and the bite its self is purple-ish.
I can pop it only a little, and the swelling will go down,
but then it will come back.
and theres a black dot in the middle.
if i look in the bite whole that the puss comes out of, it looks like a black ball.
and its on the top of my left arm,
everytime I put my hand down, to my side..
my hand gets numb and starts to hurt.
I have one on the inside of my right leg too, and my right eye is swelling up, and they both also hurt baaaaaaaaad.
so what should i do and what could this be?

I don't know what's wrong with me. I am not obese-5'5" and 123 lbs. I eat quickly and I usually lick my plate clean (figuratively speaking)
I am never full and I am constantly thinking and fantasizing about food. Last night after eating vegetable soup, grapes, rice, chicken, and corn, I ate four slices of pizza. Then I went to my friend's room and had cheez-its, cookies, and chocolate until my stomach hurt.
Just now, after eating a big dinner, I ate a pack of eight graham crackers, four smores, a small bag of cheez-its and a pack of peanut butter crackers.
I am not hungry anymore yet I still want more & more food. I feel so guilty yet so happy while I eat.
I have severe mental problems (I have body dysmorphic disorder and I hate the way I look and get depressed every day and I also have depersonalization disorder) that might contribute to the fact that I binge a lot. I am not overweight because I diet a lot.
Do I have compulsive binge eating disorder?
What do I do? HELP!!!

I tend to not want to call my mother anymore. she seems to not have any reaction to anything good I tell her, which then feels like an instant drain on my energy. Then she will go into complain mode about her neighbors. I haven't called in months, and was checking if there was any way besides U.S. Postal mail to communicate with her?

lately i've been having a lot of trouble getting to sleep, staying asleep, and waking up in the morning. i've been falling behind in school, i can't focus and i'm tired all the time so i keep falling asleep, and i'm often late because it's so hard to get up in the morning. i've tried a lot of different things to try to sleep more, like setting a schedule, going to bed at the same time each night, excercising and nutrition, and even some medicine, but nothing's worked so far, and i still vary from 3-6 hours of sleep. a night. should i talk to my doctor? this has been going on since around august.

So my mother was trying to open a package with kitchen shears and they slipped and she kinda stabbed her thumb. The cut wasn't too deep but enough that it didn't count as a slice. She kept her arm raised above her head for the next 10 minutes until she finally said she felt like she was going to faint. She lost very little blood so what was the reason she felt as though she was going to faint. Was it possible shock, or could it have been a chemical produced by the body to aid the injury in some way that causes a faint effect? Please be descriptive... if it is because of a chemical, what is the chemical? Thank you!

My school requires a doctor's note to get out of gym class. I know this because I started school with a badly sprained ankle from playing soccer for the school and I told him that the school's sports injury person said I can't do anything and the teacher said, "Can you walk on it?" and I said, "Barely" and I was forced to participate. Well, I've sprained my other ankle now, (playing soccer, it had almost healed when I re-sprained it last gym class, right at the end of the class), badly, and my parents can't get me to our doctor before my next gym class. Does anyone know of a good way of missing class without getting a zero for not participating? I really would like to miss gym, maybe only once or twice so that it can heal well. I actually like gym and stuff, I just can barely walk now and trying to jog or play basketball would not bode well for a healing ankle.
Thanks, Sean

First, I am taking my son to the doctor, I would not consider this to be a substiute for medical advice, just curious thats why I am posting here. My son is 14, average height, but complains about 3 times a week that he is achy........He is athletic, average weight. He was perfect in height and weight at his last doc visit. He has been very active, but since he aches he has slowed down some. Just curious if others has had these symptoms with their growing pains.
