I want to loose 15 pounds by Februrary. Is this possible? Without being insanely strict, how can I achieve this? Exercise/diet plans, please! (link)
I do not think you need to go on a "diet." If you want to become healthier and lose some extra weight then you need to change your eating and exercise habits. Telling yourself you are on a "diet" only makes it worse. Tell yourself you have adopted a newer, better way of eating. Without going through all kinds of exercises, there is something really simple you can do. WALK. Walk as much as you can. You might be surprised what an hours worth of walking can do for your health, physically and mentally. In the span of a little over a year...I lost over 100 pounds by walking. I also cut out quite a bit of the junk food and sodas. I did not go on a diet, but changed the way I ate for the long run. I lost more weight by walking that year than I did by joining a gym a few years later. Good Luck!


what does bulimia do to your body? and what effects does it have to people in the long run? (link)
Bulimia can have terrible affects to your body. For one...your teeth will begint to lose their enamel. They will eventually get eaten away through years of constant vomiting. The blood vessels around your eyes could break and cause puffiness and swollen eyes from the pressure of the vomiting. Bulimia can affect your internal organs as well. You run a greater risk of esophogeal cancers and erosion of your espohogus and throat. It can also adversely affect your heart. It is not as deadly as anorexia, but it can kill. It is also harder to treat than anorexia. There are programs in place to help you through your local MHMR chapters. This should be based on income...so it will not cost you a fortune. Paying a small price now to recieve some help in dealing with this is nothing compared to saving your own life. I wish you well.


What do i do with a husband who doesn't believe he is cheating on me since he insists the relationship isn't physical? We will be going to marriage counciling soon but have to wait for an appointment. He has written love letters to her that i found. i can't just dump him, i have a 9 month old daughter to think about. He still wants to hang out with the girl and won't stop, even after i said it would hurt me and our relationship if he did. he doesn't think he is wrong. What would you do? (link)
You will not be able to change your husbands idea of what is cheating and what is not. It may not be physical (yet) but it can still be an intimate relationship. Males and females can have friends of the opposite sex, but when it interferes with your marriage (like in this case) then it is not just a friend. Right now he is having his cake and eating it, too. He has a wife and a girlfriend. He has no reason to leave. He has written this woman love letters. That should tell you it might very well be more than just friends. You need to be the one to make a decision for you and your child. Be strong in what you want from your relationship. He is married to you and should not be writing love letters to another. I think he is being selfish since he does not care enough to break off this other relationship for you and your child. IF you can get into marriage counseling I hope it works for you. If after that he still is seeing her...then it is time to move on. Without him.
