Q: A year ago I took control of my health and lost a lot of weight (60 lbs.). I became completely obsessed with what I was eating (or rather not eating) and felt horrible if my weight went up even by a few ounces. Somwhere along the way I started binging really bad, and had to start marking my eating habits on a calendar to guilt myself into stopping. Since this school year started I've been very negative about my body. I've lost 10 lbs, but it keeps spiking back up 3-5 lbs. Two weeks ago I decided I was going to stop hating myself so much and reembrace my body. I felt better for a while, but I've been binging so bad, and I just can't seem to stop. I don't want to go back to obsessing over food, but I don't want to keep doing this...Help me.
I dont know how much help i can be to you, but i do want you to know that I am going through the same thing. I lost a lot of wieght over the summer and i have been binging lately and i gained it all back plus some. I've just begun cointing points like on wieght watchers and it seems to be helping a little. I plan out what I am going to eat the next day the night before, and i make sure to bring my lunch to school so that i have a healthy and small portion without any extra or unhealthy food. I also know that I bing when I get home from school, so I have been trying to make myself busyier durring that time, like staying after school for extra help or working overtime at my job, just so I dont have the option of eating. I've been trying really hard, and have done really well, except for today, it figures. But I wish you the best of luck, and I hope that you will be able to find a system that works for you.

Q: Just wondering,would girls date or go out with a bald dude? Like completely bald,assuming he has a nice personality and all

p.s:also do you girls like buff guys,thin guys,chubby guys,overweight guys,lean guys or guys with defined muscle(surfer kinda muscle,not too much,just defined)
yeah, i really dont think most girls would care if a guy was bald, as long as his heart was in the right place..
and on the other note i think that the majority of girls just look for a guy who is healthy, not to fat or thin, and doesnt need to be extreamly buff.

Q: I am 13 years of age. I have been put in a situation where I could have sex. I really like the guy and I think he likes me. I am not sure if I should have sex with him or not. I really want to. I need advice. HELPPP!!
NO. your thirteen. you should be in love with the guy once you decided to give it up man. and im not trying to be offencive in anyway but your ovously not mature enough to handle it yet.. "i think he likes me" dude. you'll regret it this young, this sounds wierd but like it really is a big responcibility.

Q: Can anyone give me ideas for a screenname (AIM)?
(My names Leah, & my lucky numbers are 7 &4, if that helps?)

Q: ive heard about the sims before, but i was ever really interested in it until recently. is there a website that i can find a list of all the sims games?, because i know theres different versions of it. ive heard about the sims 2 pets and the sims 2 h&m fashion stuff. they both sound interesting. from someone who has played them, are they worh buying and fun to play? what can you do in them? what are some other fun sims games like the pets and h&m one? that was kind of a lot of questions in one lol, but thanks so much!=]
So basicly the sims is a human simulator. You sort of play the role of God. You can control what your sim eats, where it lives, how it interacts with other people, ect. Theres some stratagy to it, and you need to figure out things like how to make a sucessful family, make it to the top of the buiness world, or drive your sims into the dirt. All in all its a lot of fun, and personaly i love playing it whenever i get the chance.

In the game you do not have to stick to just one Sim you can live through a family, or even switch to another neighborhood. Following different story lines and sharing different fears and goals.

There are a few different expansion packs for the Sims2:
"University"- where you can send your sims to college, and ulimatly live out the college dream.
"Open For Buisness"- where you can open and run your own business from home or from another lot (this one is my favorite =])
"Bon Voyage"- take your sims on vacation
"Nightlife"- more of the dating scene and clubs ect.

I would check out www.sims2.com to get a better feal of it. Have Fun!

Q: When i start eating, ill eat like everthing and cant stop and i always go for more

Anyway to stop this?
Im getting fatter and fatter and dont know how to loose it.
first off when your going in for food count to 100 thinking about what it will really do to your body and you may find that you dont really want it by the time your done..
also when your eating count at least 10 chews each time, and try taking a sip of water between every bite, this makes your body feal fuller so you may not eat as much.

Q: Can somebody tell me everything that goes on in the movie in detail [or not] thanks a ton :-]

thats all i remeber though.. i saw it a reallly long time ago.. sorry!

Q: I need revenge. what kind of revenge can i do if my boyfriend is talking to another girl? whats something to make him jealous? whats the best way to make him jealous? answer all those questions please!
well you wanna get back to him.. but you have to make sure you dont ruin your relationship by doing something stupid..
bringing up other boys.. or just talking and flirting with other boys in front of him would do the trick..
but dont push it.. talking to another girl really isnt that big of a deal and you dont wanna over react..

good luck

Q: my firend has never had sex but she took 3 tests then 2 were positive is she pregnant??? Im 15/f
if she really has never had sex.. then she can not be pregnant.

Q: I need your help deciding what the ideal menu for a public dinner would be.

Not knowing what would be the best dishes to serve is making this an impossible task.

If you will tell me your favorite foods, or point me to your favorite recipes, it would really help a lot.

You can list as many things as you like. They don't have to be fancy things at all. I am all about the comfort food baby! :)

This will be a mixed group of people so I would like to have something for everyone.

Cooking for a banquet is not as hard as trying to figure out WHAT to cook!

Everyone will receive feedback.

Thank you!

P.S. If all that was a lot to digest, pun intended, here is a summary: Please list all your favorite foods.
any kind of pasta!
