  • Is this a normal result with new weight loss program?

    I have been doing the Insanity workout and have been thrilled with the results so far, but today I noticed that my belly is not getting flatter as it had seemed to be, but suddenly seems to have turned into a "blob" or jelly belly. Could this be because the muscles are toning and the fat and skin aren't catching up or is something wrong?

  • I am a young, single Mother of 2 teenage Boys and a 10 yr old girl.?

    My 16 yr old Boy is EXTREMELY intelligent, but lazy, has zero concept of responsibility, lies a lot, has a sugar addiction to the point where he has stolen candy just to get it, and my biggest concern is that he is seemingly obsessed with looking for inappropriate material, such as pictures of naked girls, and basically pornography. I have told told this is normal teenage boy behavior, but how much is too much? I caught him again last night, and he downloaded some of the photos to his PSP which I threw across the room and shattered. I don't know if he is a sex crime waiting to happen or if I am over reacting?

  • Why do you think Christmas means it's OK too?

    Christmas is supposed to be a religious Holiday...correct? It's supposed to be about, the birth of Christ, first and foremost, then because the wise men brought gifts to the baby Jesus its also about family, and giving and recieving on some level. So, why does it seem that Christmas has become nothing more than a commercialized way for stores to make as much money as possible, "spend your money to help the economy..but then when you can't afford to pay your bills after spending as much as you can, even more than you should on everyone you feel obligated to spend money on, financial situations get worse. And WHY does it seem that because its Christmas it is expected that people can ask for, and buy the expensive new age bells and whistles gifts that they, on any other given day would not ask for or buy for themselves let alone other people? I would think that a persons own Birthday would be reason enough for them to ask for something they would normally not buy themselves, and for loved ones to get it for them even if they all pitch in for it. Wouldn't it make more sense for the economic and personal financial status, to indulge people in their heightened giving and recieving practices for individual Birthdays, throughout the year, as opposed to all on one day ( or 8 or depending on the religious belief) that should actually be celebrated on a more spiritual level? What are your thoughts?

  • How do I do this?

    How do I take a step back from a man that I Love, want a future with but has alot going on all of a sudden, and no time for me. He is mad at me for being upset about not getting time with him, not even the quick meetings we used to have up to 3 times a week. He still calls me whenever he can pretty much daily, but I miss him so much and I am so lonely. All I do is watch the clock hoping he will just call and ask to meet up or show up, untill its too late for that due to his schedule, then I just hibernate, depressed and missing him. Everytime I talk to him I ask to see him and for one reason or another, all valid, he cant.The last time I saw him he was on duty, we got about 30 min together then I ended up sitting with him for 2 hrs listening to his PD radio if he got a call while he slept. He felt bad but I knew he needed the sleep. I know I should step back and wait for him to be able to come to me but how, should I take a hint and just walk away now or have faith he will be back.

  • go with your heart or your mind...?

    That awful war between one's head and one's heart always seems to surface when the decisions that need to be made are significantly important. Your heart says one thing, your mind contradicts and you're torn as to what to do. You're compelled to listen to your heart... but then again, you'd rather be safe than sorry and listen to your mind. What do you do?

  • how do I stop a bad habit?

    I overanalyze every little thing when something seems off. Last week I was ready to walk away from my BF of 3 years b\c in he stopped calling and trying to see me as much. Automatically something is up and I dont give the benefit of the doubt and Im ready to run. He could have said see ya, he doesnt need me but he actually got upset and took the initiative to talk and I stayed. he was here yesterday for a few hours but took his pressure washer and a shirt w\o leaving one so now I think he just came to get the machine but felt obligated to stay (he was contemplating leaving sooner) Right now I am waiting for him to call before he gets to work and the later it gets less chance he will call. If I hear from him at least once a day I seem to be ok. but its when I get lonely and bored that I start thinking and get bent out of shape, cant sleep, want to eat and lose all faith in him and us. Why cant I just give him and us the benefit of the doubt, How do I do it

  • How do I stop a really bad habit?

    I have a bad habit of overanalyzing every little thing when something seems even a little off when most of the time the reasons are logical, and reasonable. I was ready to walk when my BF stopped calling me as much, stopped making time to see me as much, and had shut me out for a week after spending a week with me. He actually was upset, we talked, I stayed. I am not an obligation to him, he could have said see ya. He tried, I was happy. Yesterday he was here for a few hours but took his pressure washer, now I feel like THAT was why he came. He has 3 kids, 2 ft jobs, a miserable, loveless union and has to decide to move w\ or w\o them next year for work. You can see where trust issues come in. Moving w\ me is not a no never concept, but no guarantees. Just bc he took his machine and a shirt w\o leaving one, Im back to no point giving the benefit of the doubt just to get hurt. He never gave me a real reason not to trust in us. How do I just have faith that he is just stressed and busy

  • MEN!! Help and PLEASE be honest!?

    Why do guys, when you get moody especially, yell and scream and get mean, then later on call like nothing ever happened. Is that your idea of apologizing for yelling and screaming at us after you realize we didnt deserve it.....And what makes you think that now that your done throwing your tantrum at us that we didnt deserve you can change your tone 100% a few hours later that we are just going to take it. FYI we are still mad, you treated us like crap but just because you realized you were wrong doesnt mean all is well without at least a real apology.

  • Moved to Tears Making Love.... is it POSSIBLE?

    My Boyfriend of over 2 yrs is a FT cop, medic and father of 3 boys. He has very little time to spare but pulls it out of his butt for me. A rare almost 3 days off and his boys being in NY for a week awarded me HIM. Mon I went to his house until he had to play Cop 3p-7a. Tue he came here to nap,shower, went to help a newbie cadet with his shooting then gave the rest of the day to us. Wed was spent doing chores together. Thur, after a day on the lake he went to work 6p-6a EMS >Fri PD for 7a-3p > EMS 6p-6a. I worked 11p-7a. He was here by 8a to nap, wash, for 3p-7a PD. We napped together.

    At 1p, he pulled me to him, and with slow silent emotion I found out what "making Love" is. I was fighting tears...I lost. I'm 32, 3 kids, I have NEVER felt anything like this... Not a dime, not a word, not a thing, his gift of time meant everything to me. Is it possible what I felt from him was deliberate and exactly what he intended or am I crazy to think that a person can even concieve the notion

  • Why is my 13 yr old boy out of control?

    My oldest son turned 13 at the beginning of this month. If he isnt hiding in his room he is fighting with his 11 yr old brother and 6 yr old sister. He has went from being and honor roll student to almost failing, and has ZERO respect. For example I spent 2 days working VERY hard to get my Living room, Dining room and Kitchen rearranged and immaculate. My son decided to wipe spagetti sauce on the front of the cabinet in the kitchen, he knows finances are hard but still "sneaks" all the snacks I have set aside for my daughter for school making me run out before the end of the month and does it even tho I have explained the situation...he has even hunted them down when I hide them. He thinks the world revovles around him and that he knows everything. WHAT DO I DO. Does anyone have any ideas on how to manage this. He has ADHD, is medicated. I am going through a divorce but he is glad to be away from his step father, his father that he didnt even know commited suicide.

  • Judge me all you want...but you dont know the whole story?

    Ok so maybe I need advice, or maybe I just need to get this off my chest. Yes I am with a married man, I am separated myself. Yes she knows, doesnt appreciate it but only because she is all about playing the perfect family role, but they are not happy and are "stuck". We dont rub it in her face he tries to respect her and the family, they play the role basically. She doesnt do a darn thing for him except make for more stress, more work, less rest (he is a full time cop and medic with little time off) Before you say he doesnt deserve anything, she's driving a brand new loaded minivan, he makes sure she has a good xmas and bday, makes family time mainly for the kids.They arent in love anymore. But I am in love with him, The time he makes for me is priceless, and Im happy when I can make life a little easier for him in anyway. He loves me I know this. I just need to know if ANYONE understands or can relate. Its been 2 years I couldnt let go if I wanted to. Keep judgments you never know.

  • Do you believe in the communication from the people who have passed?

    As in my first question I divulged that my ex husband committed suicide a year ago and the guilt I carry. Am I crazy for thinking that he has given me signs from where he is to help me through this? For example When I got my EMT cert it was close to his death, I went o breakfast with a friend and there being no parking at the diner in the front I had to go to the back. The FIRST car parked was the same car as mine with WAY TO GO KARI in that window paint on the back window. NOBODY spells my name that way. When I finally brought my children to the grave site, after my 4 yr old daughter announced she had something to say and said "I want to thank Mike for loving me too because I am the boys sister" Then a plane flew very low above our heads the up and away. There are NO airports near this cemetery and she looked up and waved and said BYE MIKE, This is when the obvious in your face signs slowed down for me. What do you think??

  • How Do I shake the guilt?

    My ex huband committed suicide a year ago. We had not seen him for a long time but 3 weeks before he shot himself it was nagging me to contact him. I didnt go with my gut and now he is gone. I can't tell him I miss him, or how sorry I am, find out if he hates me. He is "with me" so to speak I know this. Its my fault for leaving him 9 years ago, for not going with my gut. I just need 5 minutes with him.
