I keep getting muscle cramps in my lower calf.
It happens at night, like recently, it's been every night :\
I wake up due to killing calf muscle cramps, like they almost make me cry.
What could be causing this? :\

Thanks!

Well first of all; these kinda cramps,are often called Charlie horses. They are quite common, especially in your legs and when you sleep. There are several causes for Charlie horses, over exhaustion, lack of potassium in your body, as well as many others.
How to get rid of them:
* Try not to drink caffeine,that means staying away from soda, and coffee as much as you can (it dehydrates your body and depletes the minerals that help repair your muscles)
* Eat more bananas (it will give your body the potassium that it needs)
* After you've exercised your legs a lot during the day, take a hot bath, take a hand full of Tylenol and throw them in the bath water. (Do not actually take that many Tylenol orally!)It will relax your legs so they aren't so overworked and sore at night.
*And when you do happen to get Charlie horses. Massage the muscle that is cramping, as firmly as you can, this will help it go away faster.

I think i am fat, and i think i am ugly and i dont want to think that.
How can i lose weight without giving up on it and what are good hair and makeup techniches i can use that will make me feel better about myself?
and what are some ways guys can like me and i can flirt with them?

If you want guys to like you, you need to be comfortable in your own skin. So if you are really self conscious about how you look, and your weight, it will be noticeable.
I suggest, that each day, write down five things about yourself that you like. It can be about your appearance and your personality. Five things, not four, or three. But Five.
This will help build up your confidence, and that is the sexiest thing a woman can have. Now thats a start.
Also remember that You are always going to be your own worst critic. While people may look at you and think that you look pretty, or cute, or beautiful. You may not always feel the same way as people see you.
So if you want to wear make up, make sure to find a brand that works well with your skin. Less is always more! so don't layer it on.(and I'll let you in on a secret: Guys love it when girls don't have to wear make up. They think girls look so much more beautiful with out it.(guys also like it when your hair is down)

Learn to not be so critical about your self. the more positive you think, the more it will show in how you carry yourself
