I just found out some terrible news. My sister just had a miscarriage. This sucks! There aren't words bad enough to express how much this sucks! I didn't even know she was pregnant and apparently she and her husband were planning on telling everyone Thanksgiving.
I feel sooooooo bad. Since my sister's the first born, I feel like she's always been the golden child while I'm the family f (link)

I should probably add that my sister tried to call me first, but I felt like s#!± this afternoon and put my phone on silent so I could rest. How do I apologize for this? Also, I'm sorry about the length of this question. I didn't realize how much I needed to vent.

I hate to say it, but I have a yeast infection. I'm not humiliated about it, as many women get at least one in their lifetime. Anyhow, obvious I don't like that I have one but I need to know how to get rid of one.
I've seen many things on the internet but I've come here in the hopes someone will be able to offer me personal experience? Either way, any advice helps. Thanks on advance! (link)

What about some kind of plush toy or action figure from one of the franchises you've mentioned? Or perhaps you could introduce him to another show?
Spongebob, Dog with a Blog, or something old school like Mickey Mouse or Rugrats might work too. My mom is a fourth grade teacher and her students tend to like Tom & Jerry, Jessie, Shake it Up, and other such shows.
Movies might be a good option too. Has he seen any of the Cars, Shrek, or Happy Feet movies? I'm sure there are all kinds of videos and toys you could get him from those movies.
Aside from that kind of stuff, you could get him some other kind of toy. I don't really know what he'd be into, but it's hard to wrong with a simple toy car, truck, train, or plane.
GL and hope I helped. :)

hey guys! im a 19 year old girl & i ended up hurting my leg by running 7 months ago and just got referred to do physical therapy. i used to work out and run everyday! since my leg started hurting ive been off for 7 months now, all ive been doing is binging & when i say i binge eat i mean it. its so insane i eat more than anyone i know. ive gained about 30 pounds in 7 months because of it. i used to weigh 128 and now i weigh way more. i literally feel it when i get up and walk or anything. its horrible. none of my clothes fit me anymore!! i hate it and it makes me so depressed. my body gets me depressed as well as the way ive been eating. i know i have to stop but its hard. ive been trying to eat healthier. i went out to eat for lunch & dinner everyday for the longest time. im now trying to stop that & trying to get a healthier life style like i used to have. i want to be healthier so that when i start to run again (when physical therapy is over & im allowed to get back into running fully) im not completely out of shape.
any advice or motivation??? i really need some! thanks:) (link)

That kind of thing actually happens often. My cousin was a baseball player in junior high, high school, college, and for a while after college. His whole life revolved around baseball during this time and he also did things like lift weights and other such things, so he was constantly exercising.
As far as eating went, he was a regular garbage disposal. Anytime he wasn't exercising, he was eating and he ate everything in sight. My aunt said that he could eat a turkey sandwich piled a foot high for an afternoon snack and still wipe out anything the rest of them didn't eat at dinner time. Once while I was visiting him, my aunt, and my uncle, he took us out to this place for lunch that he just raved about and thought the food was just outstanding. As soon as we got back to his place, he immediately made himself a sandwich even though he couldn't get enough of the restaurant's food.
He was drafted by a minor league baseball team after college, but was cut from it within a year. Since then he hasn't been the same old active guy he'd been as a teen and young man, but has still eaten the same way, which has caused him to gain a lot of weight. His dad is a big guy (I'd guess about 75 pounds or so overweight) and has similar eating habits, so it's possible that my cousin is heading for the same problem. This happens to a lot of people, but there is a solution.
Try making simple substitutions ever you replace unhealthy things with healthy things. For example, when you go out to eat, order fruit instead of french fries, water or tea instead of soda, and more fruit instead of a fattening dessert.
Eating at home can be even easier. When you make a sandwich, don't use white bread as it can make you gain weight easier. I enjoy wheat bread quite a bit and rye can do wonders for blood sugar control, lowering your chances of diabetes. Or you could refrain from using bread at all and just wrap some low fat cheese in lunch meat with some mustard (not mayonnaise).
If you make a sandwich, instead of eating chips with it, try some fruit or a side salad. I enjoy using green apple slices with peanut butter or banana with peanut butter.
To be honest, I'd probably weigh 20 pounds less if I weren't so addicted to sweets, especially ice cream. My birthday is coming up and I think my sister's planning to buy me some kind of machine that somehow turns very cold, practically frozen fruit into an ice cream like dessert. The way I understand it, it's like V8 juice (another healthy option for you). It tastes like you're getting a sugary treat when really your getting a serving of fruit (or in V8's case, fruit AND vegetables). Something like that could be good for you too.
Sometimes some of us can get so addicted to junk food that these changes can seem impossible, but they're not such a big deal. Especially since you don't have to change you entire lifestyle as far as what you eat goes. Have you ever noticed that many people who lose a ton of weight seem to gain some, all, or even more back? Do you know why that happens? It's because too many people deprive themselves of the foods they like while losing weight, then, once they're at their weight loss goal, they go overboard and eat too much of what they couldn't eat on their diet. That's why it's important to treat yourself and eat the foods you like, just less of them.
When I was in junior high and high school, I was overweight and hated my body, but did nothing about it because I didn't think I had it in me to lose weight. In January or February of my senior year, I found out kind of by accident (long story) that I could lose weight, not by eliminating junk food from my diet, but by eating less of it and counting calories. I set a calorie limit for my day and the more weight I lost, the more I had to lower that limit.
My dad, although he was proud of me, used to think I was a weirdo because I'd do things like measure how much ice cream I put in a bowl and how much chocolate sauce I put on said ice cream, but it kept me from overeating and helped me keep track of my calories. By the time I started college, I was at my ideal weight and felt great. I had more energy, fewer health problems, and, at the risk of sounding arrogant, got complemented a lot on my weight loss. I also starting getting hit on by guys, which was so unusual to me that the first time it happened, my sister had to tell me I was being hit on. I just thought the guys doing it were really, overly nice and friendly.
Being a bit older now (almost 27) and having a slower metabolism, it's harder to keep the pounds off, which is why I feel it's important to be skinny as a young person, as it keeps you from having more trouble as an adult. When I graduated, my mom surprised me with a new dress to wear under my gown that would have never come close to fitting me months earleir. I try to use that dress as a guide. I was skinny-ish the first time I wore it, but not at my skinniest. As long as I can fit in that dress, I'm not worried, but as soon as it becomes to small, it's crunch time. Keep track of your progress and closely monitor you weight once you're at your goal, not just while you're young, but when you're older too. You're probably thinking to yourself, "Well, duh." But it's crucial to monitor your weight closely. When I do gain weight,it's because I haven't monitored my weight well enough lately.
It feels great to lose weight and I really can't tell you how much I'm rooting for you yo do so because you just get such a sense of accomplishment from it and it does wonders for your self esteem. I hope my advice helps. Good luck and God Bless. :)
