Hiho! My name is Meg...and I like giving advice. My friends say I give good advice, and lead me to this site. I liked the concept, so I signed up for an account. I hope to help everyone with their problems. If you need advice, just ask! ^_^I'm back from a LONG haitus, so I've probably missed a lot of advice giving! I'm really sorry! My computer died, so I had to get another one...and that took a while. But, I'm back now and ready to give advice! ^_^

Just to clarify one thing:
I'm a vegetarian not because I want to lose weight but because I promote animal rights. And I plan on turning a vegan when I turn 18. [No one seems to know what goes on in the animal factories. It's living h*ll for the animals and we as people certainly do not need meat to survive.]
I basically run 2 miles in the morning and walk 2 extra miles and do some target toning exercises for 40min the morning or an hour of pilate [sp?] I need to lose weight because I have fat on my stomach and down below all the way to my calves. I need to watch my caloric intake, and to do this, I cook for myself most of the time, because 1. I'm the only vegetarian in the family 2. I can control my food portions to the right amount and 3. Because I cook my foods in a healthy manner [steaming, boiling, baking. No frying or stir frying in oil, etc]
My parents "worry" about me being a vegetarian. To tell you the truth, they worry about everything I do because they think I'm not well knowledged in things I believe in. So basically, I can't get through to them that I'm a vegetarian because I choose not to be part of the society that fuels the animal factories & NOT because I want to lose weight. So this is the weird deal with them: they tell me that I need to get slimmer yet they say that I don't need to "diet" They automatically assume that running = eating whatever and how much ever of it. My parents pretty much eat portions that are meant for two people. Not one. So when I do eat food for one person, they think that I'm not eating enough or something.
So, I was wondering how can I get through to them that I want to cook for myself in a nice way but still a strong way? How can I get them to stop worrying about everything I eat and that I can take care of myself??? They won't get off my case and they're making it hard for to lose weight because they keep criticizing me about what I eat!!! And usually they're making me stuff myself to death by pulling guilt trips on me!
First of all, you should tell your parents straight out that you can take care of yourself, and that they need to stop bothering you about it. To make your point stronger, try searching up facts about being a vegitatian and how it's healthy. If you show your parents the facts and how much your willing to be dedicated to it, it'll show your parents that this is something you really care about and want them to stop bugging you about.Hope I helped!
Well, my dad has this girlfriend, and i hate her with a passion shes just plain mean if i told you some stuff she's said to me/done to me. you'd hate her to. she has 2 daughters but now one is going to college [with most of my dad's money] and the other is my age and shes a major devil. she'll be all nice to your face then she'll start talking about you like she's miss. popular and talk about me like im a major dork,b*itch, single cat lady when i grow up ect. and how she's going to be a model because she's skinny,tan,perfect skin and like flawless hair. im a little jelous to because i have dull blondish hair and slight pale skin and im about the same height but not as "skinny" as her. shes like 80 pounds and shes 13 and im like almost 100 and im 13. my brother is going off to college soon, and im worrie my dad is about to ask his girlfriend "the question" and i already get beat up and talked down to enough, one time she hit me when i was 8. i told my dad but he didn't listen. how can i get rid of her? shes like 40 and my dad is rich and hes like 55. [also my parents divorced]. what can i do? please give me advice on how to get rid of my dad's evil girlfriend and stupid little daughter. they're so mean! help!!
I think what you should do is talk to your dad about it. Get him alone, so his girlfriend and her daughter aren't around...and just talk to him. Don't be jealous of his girlfriend's daughter, she'll probably end up being "single cat lady" if she keeps treating you, and probably other people, like trash. Hope I helped!^_^
