I eat 3-5 small meals a day. Is that bad for me or better than eating 3 large meals? (link)
| |
thats perfect its exactly what i do. Eating every 2-3 hours allows your body to digest your food and your metabalism works harder because it has to break down the food quicker, so it definatly raises your metabolism..it also makes you less hungry bc as soon as your body starts craving food, you feed it so it doesnt have to "eat" your muscles away in order to gain nutrients. Make sure your meals are small though and full of protein and fiber

i'm on i diet and i want to lose 20 lbs. what are a few healthy cereals without too much sugar and stuff like that, that i can eat every morning that are good for diets? please name a few because i get sick of eating the same cereal every morning, thanks! (link)
| |
The best cereal is by Kashi because its full of protein and fiber. Protein is what sheds the pounds bc its digested very slowly by the body and it keeps you full longer. If you start out your diet with a lot of protein, you wont be over eating later in the day. Also, I recommend the kashi bars too (the 180 calories ones) bc they too are loaded with fiber and low on carbs..eat those especially if you work out, they are amazing! Special K is also pretty good but I personally dont like the taste, i'de definatly go for kashi bc 1 cup of cereal with half a cup of skim milk is under 200 calories and it tastes really good :)

yesterday i went and got my belly button pierced. my piercer said to move the ring all the way around everyonce in a while but when i got online and looked up aftercare one website said not to because it will interfear with the healing process.. whats the right thing to do and what other things should i do to help it heal. it still kinda hurts and when i use these wipes to clean it that they gave me i feel like passing out. any advice on how to help it heal fast?
thanks (link)
| |
I would definatly do what the professional told you to do..often times these websites are not legitimate and the source might be someone that has absolutely no experience with piercings. When I got my pierced, they told me to use DOVE soap to wash the ring with and while I was in the shower I'de smear the soap all around my belly button and on the ring and have warm water running and then as i smeared the soap, i would rotate the ring but i wouldnt do it if it hurts because mine never hurted..i really would try using dove soap instead of wipes..all my friends have used it and had great experiences with it..its very moisturizing and good for your skin. I hope I helped :)

there was this shirt at abecrombie and it said something about the frshman 15. does any body know what it said?? (link)
| |
yes..it was either white w/ blue letters or blue w whte letters n it said freshmen 15 and it listed 15 different guy names.

I am 19/f and a college freshman. When I got to school, I met the greatest guy. He's smart, hilarious, EXTREMELY nice, a great soccer player and goth poet, and very, very hott, like a buff Trent Reznor. So, I moved in w/ him(well, my big things are still in my dorm room, but I sleep every night over at his place) in his off campus apt. Things went really well at first, but the longer I have lived with him, the more something seems like it just ain't right.
He's got this very dark side to him. I'm kinda gothic also, so I liked that he always wore all black and wore the black nail polish and eyeliner, even when he was playing soccer. But the more I am around him, the more I see that his being goth is something really deep and dark in him-like he's Kurt from Nirvana kind of dark. He's never like violent or anything, and he is always a perfect gentleman to me, but he will get really down in the dumps and stay that way for like weeks. I'll wonder if it's things that I have done, but he's always just like "no-you're the only good thing in my life. I'm just really sick and tired of dealing with all the sh!t". Every now and then, I notice cigarette burns and small cuts on his arms. I ask him, but he's just like "Oh, that's nothing-I don't know how that happened." Lately, I've started noticing these really weird little punctures in the bends of his elbows that have bruises around them. After his soccer season ended, it was like all the energy just oozed out of him. He said he's just upset because this was his seinor year and he'll never get to be on another team, but I wouldn't think that would just seem to suck the lifeforce out of him like it looks like it did.
What really scares is that I just missed my period and I think I may be pregnant.
I am really afraid that I have found my dream guy...and now my dream is turning into a nightmare right in front of my eyes. (link)
|
Wow, this seems all familiar to me. One of my best friends is kind of dealing with the same situation except now shes tryin to leave him and he claims he is going to kill himself if she does..im afraid that your bf would do the same thing. You REALLY need to talk to him..i think theres a bigger issue than what is on the surface..its one thing to be gothic, which is simply a style, and another thing to be darkly depressed, and I think that's what he is (it seems like he is totally injuring himself). You need to sit him and down and tell him that you're in love with him and care so much about him, but you're very concerned about his "secret" life. Tell him that it doesnt matter what problems hes facing bc you'll always be there for him"(reassure him that bc if he is depressed he needs to know that someone cares about his feelings. Do not take no for answer, you need to make sure he opens up to you bc you wontb be able to help him if he doesnt. Dont threaten to leave him bc that would just make him feel more self conscious. The most important thing for him is to know that you'll be there for him and you love him -- trust me, thats something he needs to know. If his issues are something beyond your control, make sure you get him to seek help bc at any given day you can lose him if he doesnt learn how to control his emotions. I hope I helped :)

When is puberty officaly over for girls?
When they have their first period?
Thanks! (link)
| |
It kind of depends what you consider puberty...your breasts might stop growing at 18 (mine did) and I got taller and taller until I was 18, but i got my period when i was 14 so I really think it depends on the person. To give you a range, I'de say 16-18.

im 16/f. my boyfriend is 18/f. they are taking his best friend out to the strip club for his 18th birthday. should i or should i not care? because i don't know how i feel about it right now. (link)
| |
If you trust him enough then it should not be a problem bc hes taking his friend out, its not for his sole pleasure only. Guys will be guys and for some reason they just love strippers..it doesnt necessarily mean hes going there bc he feels like you have nothng to offer. If you know you have a great guy and you trust him with everything, dont worry. If you have some doubts about him then maybe you should bring it up to him.

You know those abercrombie jackets, or even hollisters.. you know how you see alot of girls, where they dont zip it up like right below there chest? & it looks like its 2 sizes to small. Well, when i went to go try one on, it was the same way, & i thought i was fat, bc it was so tiny, so is that the style? or is it just me? i deff. never thought i was fat before. i meann, i'm only 110 & 5'4.? (link)
| |
I work at abercrombie and yes, the jackets are made to be VERY fitting. You're definatly not fat at all so dont think that. If you feel its too fitting just go up a size bc usually, every girl goes up a size in jackets. Another thing, not every style of clothing looks good on every girl, there are always exceptions. Maybe that style of a jacket doesnt suit you as perfectly as another style would..it just really depends on the body type.

i love to dance! i love to create dances and one day i'd love to become a professinal dancer then slowly open a hip hop dance studido for people of all ages. how can i start? and what classes in high school and college can i take to help this career choice? any steps i can take to help this career? thanks (link)
|
The best thing to do in college is major in the Arts, and in perticular Dance. My friend owns her own dance studio and she went to a college that is really focused on the arts (depaul university in chicago). As far as high school goes, it's really limited to the classes you can take but do take dance (if its offered instead of PE like our hs did), take business (bc if ur planning to run a dance studio you will need to know about finance and stuff), and marketing would be a good class as well. Also, my friend volunteered at dance studios a lot and helped to teach little kids and she got SO much experience from that because that is what you would be doing after college. Feel free to inbox me for further help :)

my friend is being really distant right now. do you think it is just a stage (weve been friends most our lives) and we just need some time apart or is it something else. what should i do. (link)
|
My best friend and I have been fiends for 10 years and we ALWAYS go through this..sometimes a friendship needs distance in order to once again be reminded of how much you guys really need each other. My friend and I usually spend a few days apart, communicating kept to a minimum and i no time we HAVE to talk to each other bc our friendship is strong. If you have a strong friendship as well, time is not an issue and you will be back to being friends in no time. You just some time apart to realize how much you guys need each other if your friendship can concur all.

have you done this beforea dn i don't wanna be built lie a muscular man-lol! but are supplements a good thing for weight gain and what weights should i use. can you also suggest some excercises for each body part but i don't wanna minimze anything i wat to increase it(butt, legs,etc.) adn when is the best time to start?thanks! (link)
|
I wouldnt take any supplements except a protein shake after your workout bc usually supplments tends to build up muscle mass like no other, so im afraid youde be manly lol..and protein shakes work slowly and affectively and i know a lot of personal trainers make protein shakes a part of a diet for women. For butt and legs I'de really suggest going on the eliptical bc it works wonders! Also, squats are the BEST for toning your butt, legs, and thighs..heres a website that tells you how: http://health.msn.com/guides/summershapeup/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100108787
For your arms I would suggest using weights and working all the different muscle parts bc weights tend to increase muscle mass the best..Check this website for different exercises for the upper body: http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/exercise/body_toning/upper_body.htm
The best time to start is pretty much anytime..I really like working out in the morning bc it jump starts your metabolism and gives you energy for the rest of the day but that really depends on the person. My best friend likes working out at night bc it wears her down and then shes ready for bed..lol..weird but it works for her. So it's really up to you! I hope I helped, inbox me if you need further help :)

Okay, I've liked this guy since I was 12. I'm 15 now, about to be turning 16 in about 2 months. Anyways, I finally got the courage to ask him out the other day, and he said yes. :] Now, he's perfect & things are going well, but that very same day, he found out that he was going to Iraq. [He's a marine.] He leaves in mid-January, and won't be back til about mid-July. Now, I'm not breaking up with him because of the major leave he's about to take to fight the war, but I'm worried that I won't see him again. When I was about 14, I had two friends in the army, and they both promised they weren't going to be killed, or hurt, and they both ended up dying a month apart from each other. I trust my boyfriend when he says he's gonna be fine, but I never know that, and the thought of him not coming home to me in 6 months bothers me. And it's really eating me up. He's still at base right now in North Carolina, and he won't be coming back up to New York until the 22nd, and I can't wait. But we only have 10 days together before he has to go back to base, and then I won't see him for 6 months. So, not only is he missing my 16th birthday, he's also spending his birthday over there. It doesn't bother me that he's missing my birthday, because after he comes home in 6 months, he's here for 15 days, and then off for another 6 months. So, he hopefully should be home in time for my 17th birthday, and my junior prom. I love him to death, and I would hate it if he got hurt or whatever while in Iraq. How in the hell do I cope with this, because I used to cut [and I haven't cut in months], and I don't wanna get depressed & start doing that to myself again. It took a lot to get me to stop, and I don't wanna start again.
How do I cope with this because I'm going insane already, and he hasn't even come to New York yet. :[ (link)
|
Im so sorry you have to go through this and you're right..no one can gurantee what will happen in Iraq, you just have to hope for the best. In a time like this you cant be selfish bc HES the one thinking about how to stay alive. You need to be there for him and support his every decision bc you're like his rock right now and if you break down, it leaves him no choice but to break down with you. You cant let him know that you have these horrible thoughts bc thats the last thing he needs to hear from his love..right now you just have to stay positive and make his last days here memorable and enjoyable. To cope, you can talk to a friend about this or look at pictures of the two of you, write him letters, and etc. Love overcomes everything and even though this will be so hard for you, think about how hard it will be for him! I hope I helped and if you need any more help, feel free to inbox me :)

i am like 5'3 adn 120 pounds. but i am like not skinny, i have " the perfect shape adn size" as they say, but i would want to be bigger. i love volumptuos girls like j.lo and beyonce. i think it's pretty. i have hips and stuff, but i wanna fill out my weight. i have a young face and am short, so i don't wanna look like a child when i am 15! so can anyone esp. trainers help me gain weight(i wanna gain twenty pounds)healthly?like excercises and foods to eat. (link)
|
The best way to gain weight the healthy way is to eat a lot of complex carbs (such as whole grains, pasta) instead of junk like candy and greasy foods. You also need to start muscle training and lift weights..this builds muscle and puts on the pounds you want that make you look toned..i would also mix in a little bit of running because that adds on a lot of muscle in all the right places. If you need any more help, just inbox me :)

ok, this might seem like a weird question. But I just told my mum about this problem i'm having and she got really worried and told me i have to stop at once. it got me a bit freaked that i might have some mental problem or something, my mum just said so...
So, here's the problem: Every single thing i read and every single word i look at i have to read backwards. My mind just tells me to read it backwards and i can't stop. No matter how hard i try i can't stop myself. I know, I know, this is probably really stupid, but just thought id ask.
thanks (link)

I'm no expert, but you should check this site out:
http://www.dys-add.com/symptoms.html#sum
and look at the symptoms..you they apply to you, you should see a specialist about it.

I have this "friend" that I have been talking too for awhile. we have gone out one dates together. The other night i had texted her to say hello and got no response for most of the day. I had told her that I was going out that night, which i had no response. Eventually she texted me told me how busy she was and that she was on a date at the moment. Cant tell if she is trying to make me jealous especially when had told me that i was the one for her (link)
|
That is a tough situation, especially if she told you that you were the one for her. I dont see why she would try to make you jealous seeing that she did go on dates with you, which means your obviously interested in her and no one else, and she told you how she feels..so I dont think shes trying to make you jealous bc its not like shes suspecting that you're interested in someone else. You should confront her..if you dont want to talk to her in person you should text her or im her and ask her whats going on..be like you know i thought we had something going since we did go out a few times and you told me how you felt..are you not interested anymore or whats going on? Be nice about it because maybe she's just confused and not confident about the way you feel about her, so maybe you should keep that in consideration as well and let her know. If you need further help, feel free to inbox me :)

Currently in my high school newswriting class, we are conducting a yearly secret santa tradition, where we create homemade gifts for our recievers. I am a secret santa to a long time friend of mine, (16 years old) very smart and places school as his top priority. The sad thing is that I do not have any idea as to what to give him for Christmas, and the gift-presentation is in 2 days. I investigated and he said that he likes baby blue, and Nelly and Nick Lachey music. I was thinking about giving him a book of quotes, and baking, but other than that, I am not sure. Might you guys have any splendid ideas???
Thanks a million!
(link)
|
Why dont you make him a scrapbook of his favorite things? Like put lyrics of all of Nick's music and Nelly's music. You can even find things that they've said and put them on there as inspirational quotes!
