I have always drank A LOT of liquids, More than the average person. I've been tested for diabetes and it came out negative. However to give an example I drink about 3+ milk cartons of liquid a day and most of that is either water, vitamin water or Sobe water. However, I have a HUGE gut! When I touch it, It jiggles and I can always feel liquid moving around in my stomach. :( I don't really want to go to the doctor and have the prescribe me water pills I would really like to loose it the natural and healthy way. A month ago I have changed my diet I now eat vegetables and I walk 2 miles a day but does anyone know anything other way I can loose this water weight? I want to completely loose my stomach. Thanks (link)

It may not be water weight. Your body's fat tissue just happens to be concentrated in your abdomen, so when you gain weight, that's where it winds up. Also, we all have a set weight that our bodies like to be at, and it's extremely hard, sometimes even impossible to lose or maintain a weight lower than that set point. As for "feeling liquid moving around" in your stomach, your abdomen probably feels squishy because our bodies are made up of 70% water, and unless you have rock-hard abs and are less than 15% body fat, you're going to have some give in your stomach. From the sounds of your diet and exercise regime, you're doing all the right things to maintain optimal health, it just so happens that your body's storage units are in your belly.

well im 15. and i had sex for the first time. im wondering..could i be pregnant? i mean..i havent gotten my period yet..so..idk..could i be prengnat? thanks. (link)

Most of the previous advice is right-on, so I'm not going to repeat anything. What I AM going to say is that if you have to wonder about the safety of your birth control method, and if you didn't bother to use birth control at all, then you should not be having sex. Period. Pretty much, unless you're either pro-choice (and even then, you shouldn't think of abortion as a form of birth control) or willing and capable of taking care of a baby, you should NOT have sex. You're 15. Hold off for at least a year before you start doing adult things because you're definitely not ready for the adult responsibilities that could result. I know, I don't know you, you're responsible, who am I to tell you what to do, etc. BS. Don't have sex till you're ready for the potential consequences.

Ok do guys like it better if a girl is tight or loose?
I know what it means kinda but still confused.
Can someone explain and tell me which they prefer? (link)

There is no "better" or "worse" in this situation. It's your vagina, and it is what it is. If you're young, and especially if you're a virgin, chances are you're probably very tight. This can feel good to the guy, but might be painful for you. If you've had four children and haven't been doing your kegel exercises, then you're probably somewhat loose.
If you're enjoying sex, and especially when you're orgasming, your vaginal muscles are going to tighten and release while he's thrusting, so the normal state of your vagina won't matter much. If a guy has permission to put his penis in you, he should feel lucky, and any bitching on his part is unacceptable. Stop worrying so much and enjoy yourself. You don't want to look back thirty years from now and think, "I had so many hang-ups about my body back then that I didn't even enjoy myself."

Does God exist? Yes or no.
Give supporting claims for either answer. (link)

Oh jeez. I'm on the fence. I believe that there is some level of order amid the chaos, but I am not religious and I can't stand the bible. If you're looking for a realistic take on religion, watch the documentary "Religulous".
Anyway...
If you look around you you'll be amazed by how well everything fits within this seemingly random world. Math, science, nature - it's all interconnected and infinitely beautiful and fascinating. I don't think there's a big guy looking down on us, but I believe everything has a purpose and we are all connected subconsciously. Do I have supporting claims? Umm... Not really. I mean, I have always felt a spiritual connection to the planet and the people around me (when I'm not flipping them off in traffic). I think organized religion is very manipulative and your belief or disbelief in God can make you an easy target for other people's agendas.

I just broke up with my long-distance boyfriend 2 days ago because I couldn't handle the distance. I really do still love him, and I'm not handling the break up well.
We decided mutually to be friends, but it's not really working. He's being unusually mean to me (which is to be expected I guess, since it's only been 2 days). This is too hard on me, and every time I end a call with him I end up crying. My feelings for him are still strong, but I do want to stick with my decision. Today we planned to chat at a certain time, and it's about 2 hours past & he's nowhere to be found.
My question is: should I cut off all contact? I really would like to be friends, but I can tell it is clearly going to take me some time. Also, if I do decide to cut all contact..should I tell him or just do it?
Btw, I'm leaning more towards the 'just doing it' option, without telling him, because after I talk to him it usually leaves me wanting to talk to him again. If I just stop contact, I won't have a chance to talk to him first. My only concern with this option is that when I am ready to be friends (maybe a month or so down the line), he won't want to speak with me/be my friend because I did the no contact thing without telling him. Ahh, please any advice would help!! I just want to be happy again. Thank you.

Cut off all contact for at least a month, or even three months if you can handle it. If you don't, you'll just end up arguing and saying things you'll seriously regret. You don't need to tell him. You're broken up, and it's clear that you BOTH need time apart. If you're ready to be friends a few months from now, you can try reconnecting, and if he gets mad, explain why you did it. If he cares about you enough to be your friend, he'll understand. If he doesn't, then you wouldn't want him in your life anyway. Selfish people don't make good friends.
My last boyfriend had to sever all contact between us because I couldn't bring myself to do it. As time passed, I realized that he had done the right thing. Your boyfriend will probably realize this too. Take some time for yourself - you won't regret it.

What is your opinion on PDA? Does it bother you when couples at school kiss? (I'm not talking about making out and getting all over eachother.) What do you consider acceptable to do in public and what should be saved for behind doors? (link)
| |
Holding hands is fine, interlocking arms, hugging, etc. Quick kisses are okay as long as it's once in a while. Basically, if you wouldn't do it in front of your parents, teacher, and principal, don't do it at school.

My friend's friend came to school today wearing something that I thought was just awesome! She looks so good it's not even funny and I want to look like that too! The problem is I'm not exactly sure what it's called or where I should go shopping for one I asked her but she doesn't really like me and she just told me they were called outerwear corsets.
Can somebody please tell me where I should go to buy an outerwear corset? Is it something I can buy without shopping online or do I have to go to a website? I have never seen one before in my entire life so I have no clue where I might get one.
Thank you for your help. (link)

Just do a Google or Yahoo search for "outerwear corsets". I just tried and got a bunch of results. For specifics, Fredericks of Hollywood has good ones, and The Pyramid Collection has one I've wanted for a long time. There are plenty of other sites though, you just have to search for them.

I just started birth control to help regulate my period. Well I'm on my 22nd day of my first pack, and I've forgotten to take my pill twice since I've started. I skipped those and just went to the next one. So my question is, since I skipped those pills, what does it mean? I know it doesn't make the pill as effective, but I don't need to worry about that because I am not sexually active. Also, how long does it take for it become just as effective again? (link)
|
I think it takes around 10 weeks for birth control pills to become effective and about three months for your body to adjust to them completely, assuming you don't have any perpetual issues with them. You should experience a bit of spotting, and since it's the first month, you might not even have a period this time, or you could bleed longer than you're used to. It varies and is all dependent on how quickly your hormones adjust to them.
I'm curious though, what were your periods like before? My gynecologist put me on birth control pills to regulate my period when I was diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian syndrome, which can cause irregular periods, among other symptoms. Sometimes doctors will simply prescribe the pill to regulate periods, without addressing the underlying problems. It would be a good idea to look it up, just in case.

does genetics have anything to do with whether or not you can tone certain areas? cuz my legs, particularly my thighs, are pretty chubby and its genetic and ive played soccer for 6 years and tennis for 2 and my legs have never really toned up after all that. they do just a little bit during the seasons but anyway thats mainly my calves, my thighs perty much stay the same, any ideas on what i can do? (link)

Yes, genetics have everything to do with where fat tissue is concentrated throughout the body. You could try losing a little weight, but every body has a set point that's determined by, whaddya know, genetics. Most people can't successfully lower their body weight below this set point and maintain the weight loss.
My advice would be to learn to love your thighs. They must be very strong, with all of the exercise you've done throughout your life. Appreciate them for all they do, like allow you to walk and run and play sports. There's nothing wrong with having fuller thighs and a pear or hourglass shape is generally regarded as very attractive and "curvy". You and your thighs are beautiful just the way they are.
