Q: if you have like one meal and a gadorade or something a day after a month or two is that considered an eating disorder like anorexia? also if you do that does anyone no about how much weight will b lost after a month?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|

Well, it's definitely not healthy at all to do that so if you don't start eating more it could end up as an eating disorder. I'm not sure how much weight would be lost if a month doing that but if you're worried about your weight then you should just eat healthy foods but you should be eating 3 times a day and just don't eat past 7pm. Also, fruits and veggies are a good thing to eat for snacks. And, definitely getting exercise will help you to lose weight. I hope this helps!

Yes, it's very painful actually and you'll bleed a little bit but after that sex shouldn't hurt at all. I hope this helps!

Actually, yes I have sort of shoplifted. It was when I was 11 or 12 so I was in the 7th grade. It was at school at the book fair in the library and I stole a book. hahaha! It was stupid but that's all I actually have done.

Q: ok i want to compete at where i take dance from but all the girls on there...there like really tiny and flat and im like 5'2 and lets just say im NOT flat but i mean im not fat or n ething but idk if i should even bother trying out or not?

I think you should go for it! Who cares if they are flat and you aren't. It just means that you have matured more than they have. If you really want to go for it then don't let those girls or anything else influence you. I hope this helps!

Q: hey. im really skinny so its hard to find tight fitting jeans like i want. i shop everywhere and i cant really find jeans that arent a lil baggy. i shop at hollister, abercrombie, pacsun, nordstrom, marshall fields, some designer stores u havent heard of and more.. and i cant find any good tight fitting jeans. even the slim sizes arent tighter, they just fit better around the waste. where should i shop? thanxx

I suggest Old Navy. They might have jeans that fit better for you. They have great clothes. I hope this helps.

Q: srry, this is a weird question but its bugging me.... it takes my hair 3 hours to air dry, and like 20 mins to blow dry... is this normal? cuz its realli annoying.. thanx
|

|
|

Yes, this is totally normal. It will definitely take you longer to air dry your hair than to blow dry. My hair is really thick and takes practically all day it seems to get it dry when I air dry it. :-) I hope this helps!

I think brown highlights would look awesome. You should definitely go with brown. Hope this helps and good luck!

Well, I would ignore what everybody says. I mean, I'm a brunette and people call me a blonde all the time too because I'm ditzy myself but I just ignore it. That's really all you can do. I hope this helps!

No, you are not obsessing. This is actually quite normal. I've actually recently started becoming scared of spiders ever since there was this poisonous (brown recluse) spider at my work. Now, since then, every time I see a spider my hubby has to kill it for me. You have nothing to worry about as far as obsessing. I hope this helps!

Q: Am I obsessive compulsive if i constantly have to crack my toes, or move my feet? also i have to put me teeth together in a weird way. I've tried to not crack my toes, but then it feels as if my legs are numb. i have to be able to move my toes in my socks and shoes, is this normal? please help!
|

|
|
|
|
|

Well, I think that it's normal for a lot of people actually. I constantly pop my knuckles and toes. I also always actually have to be moving in some sort of way whether it's my feet or something else so I don't think you have anything to worry about. I hope this helps.

I wouldn't say that guys are turned off by braces. In fact, my husband started dating me in high school and I had braces when we started dating so I don't think you have anything to worry about at all. I hope this helps!

Q: my friend has an eating disorder and i really want to help her in recovering. she has anorexia. she asked for me to find out "if you lost your periods cuz of anorexia can you get it back later in life?" and "later on when im pregnant will my baby be healthy if im not anorexic anymore?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main thing is to just be there for her and help her to realize she needs to get some professional help. Also, she can get her periods back. If she doesn't stop with the eating disorder later on in life she may become sterile, which mean she may not be able to have children so if she really wants kids she needs to get help and fast. I hope this helps and good luck!

Definitely do not have sex until you're absolutely are ready because you might regret it later on. If your boyfriend cares about you, then he'll understand and wait until you are ready. I hope this helps!

Q: my foster kitten is a biter! ahh!! he does not know what to do with himself if he is not biting something..including me! What can i do to stop him from doing this?
|

This is very typical in kittens so really there isn't a whole lot you can do for this. If it really bugs you that much, though, if you have a Petco or some pet store near you then there is this stuff for no biting (which usually is used for dogs) but it has a bitter taste to it and you can spray it wherever. It might work but just give the kitten some attention too. I hope this helps and good luck!

Q: Im not actually that big... im 5'3 - 5'4 about 135-140 pounds with musclular legs. I just need to loose some waist and thigh fat.

Some of the things I recommend are doing leg lifts for your legs. Basically, you lay on one side and bring your legs up and down. I would start out with 30 on each leg but if that's too easy then do more. Also, try doing some crunches or situps. That should definitely help and maybe walking in your neighborhood. I would walk at least 30 minutes a day. One last thing, watching your calorie intake will help. Don't eat past 7pm and if you need snacks then eat fruits and veggies. I hope this helps and good luck!

First of all, I don't think you're fat. That's a good size to be at for your height. If you do want to lose weight, though, I do have a few suggestions. First, watch your calorie intake. Don't eat past 7pm and if you need to snack eat fruits and veggies. For exercise, you should go walking in your neighborhood for at least a half hour. Also, you can do leg lifts. For those, you want to lay on one side and bring your leg up and down. I recommend starting out with 30 on each leg. If that's too easy then definitely do more. For the arms, you should do some arm curls. If you have small weights that would help but for these you bring your arms down in front of you and keeping your elbows still you bring the weights up to your chest. I recommend doing at least 50 on each arm. Also, doing crunches or situps will help your stomach. One last thing, I recommend doing stretches before you go to bed. Those will help you to relax and sleep better and while you're sleeping that's when you burn fat. I hope this helps and good luck!

Q: hey i'm 13 years old in a month, and i still havent gotten mi period, and most of myy friends have... i'm kind of skinny, and really short... should i be worried about not getting it yet, or is it normal? (i'm also kind of worried about not getting tall... i'm like 4 foot 10/11)
-short stuff-

It's perfectly normal that you have not gotten your period yet. Some girls don't even start until they are 16 with their period. Also, you still have time to grow. I'm sure you have a few years left of that. If your family is short though then you probably won't grow too much more. Well, I hope this helps!

Q: when an embarrassing topic comes up, i can feel my face heat up and i'm sure it's really noticeable - is there anyway to prevent yourself from blushing?? i doubt it but i figured it doesn't hurt to ask
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

You know, I'm the same exact way. There really isn't a way to help this. What I do all the time, though, especially around people I know, is I tell them that that was really embarrassing. I just admit since my face already practically shows it. :-D I hope this helps.

High school is definitely better than middle school. You have a little bit more freedom. It is harder than middle school that's for sure but you'll have fun and the next few years you have in school will go by fast so have fun while you can. Also, you will definitely meet new people and make friends. People may or may not pick on you. Who knows? But be bigger and better than them and don't stoop to their level. Just ignore it! I hope this helps and good luck!
