  • Should i join the winter track team?

    So im in ninth grade (fourteen year old girl), just started going to highschool. Last year i was on the middle school track and field team as a distance runner, and i HATED it. I was the slowest on the team, always last in all races, my coach hated me, and i hated myself. I ran a mile in 8:15, and i was the world's biggest pussy when it came to running (i would get mad if we had to run more than half a mile -_-) So i promised myself i would never join the team again. Over the summer i started running about every other morning. Since school started i now usually only run on Saturdays before breakfast. I am currently up to a mile and a half warm up. MY workout is 4-4.5 miles followed by a mile where i alternate jogging and sprinting. i either walk or jog a mile cool down. At first i did this just lose weight and get in shape, but now i also want to become a faster runner. My older brother is one of the best runners on the team, so he and his coach keep pestering me about joining. I have become a better runner, since i can run for longer and faster. (Today i timed myself and i ran a 8:50 1 1/4 mile, which is bad i know but the weather was really crappy and i ran at a different time then im used to) Ive learned to like running, but i DESPISE running while being timed and with other people. I know that if i join the team, im going to hate is especially since the practices are harder and longer. But i really don't want to regret not joining and look like a pussy to the coach and my brother (its his last year on the team). Should i risk regretting my decision for the entire winter and join, or do i not? Any advice or comments, even if your calling me a dumbass, which i totally understand :), is much appreciated

  • Do I have an eating disorder?

    So over the summer i became really focused in losing weight. I was not overweight or anything just chubby in some areas which really ticked me off cuz all my brothers ate a lot but look like skeletons. So i started gradually exercising more and eating less and healthier. Since school started though, I've really just become obsessed with it. Everyday i wake up in the morning literally worried that ill eat too much that day or won't exercise enough. I feel like every time I'm eating, whether its just my dinner or if im having a cracker for a snack, everyone is just watching me and thinking that I'm a fatass. I try to eat under 1200 calories a day, but i always feel as if i messed up and ate too much and if i eat normally then i get pissed off at myself and start exercising or I'll eat less the next day. I hate how eating makes me feel, and i rather be hungry than feel so guilty. I have lost a few pounds, and im not sure how much because i don't own a scale but now all my jeans are loose and i still don't feel good about my body. I really don't want to go back to my old diet, because every time i look back at what i used to eat im disgusted with myself about how much i used to eat. I hate feeling this way but i don't to risk changing and going back to being even fatter. Eating makes me feel so guilty- i'll eat a cookie but later won't it go. Since i've been eating less my digestive system got messed up and i haven't had bowel movement in over a week. My family keeps making fun of me that i have an eating disorder but is it that or am i just dieting???

    Im sorry i understand how stupid i must sound but im really just sick of this and any help will be much appreciated.

  • Help with indigestion?

    I have had indigestion for over four days, and before that for a week. I have tried drinking prune juice, eat fruit and foods with fiber, and activia. I used to take metamucil and probiotics but it did not seem to work. I exercise every day. I have always had problems with my digestive system, but never for so long. It pretty much started when i started controlling my portions and eating healthier. My daily diet basically consists of this:

    Breakfast- one piece of rye bread with butter/creamcheese/ or cottage cheese and pearjam with a small glass of milk

    Lunch- a small pice of rye bread with cold cuts and lettuce or cheese OR an activia and small apple

    Dinner- usually a balanced dinner with meat, a salad without dressing, and a small portion of potato

    I drink lots of water everyday (almost a cup every hour).

    I really have no idea what to do any advice will be much appreciated!!!

    (don't know if it makes a difference but i am a fourteen year old female :p)

  • Is running an effective way to burn fat on the thighs?

    Okay so I am am NOT overweight, just chubby in some areas but i am extremely slef concious about my weight, especially in my thighs. So, this summer I started eating healthier and exercising, and swimming. Every day or every other day, I wake up at 6:20ish and run a 1/2 mile warmup, 1 to 1 1/2 mile workout, and then a 1/2 mile cooldown. I know this isnt alot, but I HATE running. So, is running a good way to burn fat on legs, or is there any other workout that is more effective (and does not require any workout machines)? Any help is appreciated THANK YOU!

  • Would it be rude if i didn't pay for her movie ticket?

    Hello! So im going to the movies tomorrow with two toher friends, and i have this discount osrt of thing were i get two tickets for free. So i was planning on getting a free movie ticket for myself and one friend, while we would split the price of the third one between us. The thing is though, im literally completely broke; i spent the last of my money on both of their birthdays. Also, since im getting one of them a free movie ticket, isn't that already fair enough? I don't want to look rude or cheap or anything and piss them off, but would it be ok if they split the price of the last movie ticket between the two of them, or just worked something out, idk??? thanks for any help :)

  • Really self-concious about my weight?

    So im about 5 foot 6, and weigh about 110(give or take a few pounds, im not sure). Anyways my family is really judgmental, i get called fat by my parents, especially by my older brother, and my younger brother also learned that its okay to call me fat. All my brothers are like stick thin, but i happen to be the only one who came out chunkier. Im ok in my shoulders and arms, and my stomach could be better, but its my legs that are the problems. my calves are fine, but my thighs just suddenly explode. I dont have a big butt of hips or anything, but when i sit down i just feel like my thighs are psread out or something and it makes me really self-conscious. I exercise when i can, but i have a lot of homework so it usually does not work out. and i LOVE food, i just can't help it. i get cravings, and then they just won't stop. So i really dont know what my question is, i just need some advise on how to lose weight or something! anything! Thanks!

  • Do you think that animals have souls?

    i am christian- roman catholic but i do believe that animals have souls although it states in the bible that they do not and therefore will not go to heaven

    but, technically, humans are animals too, (just smarter)

    many animals have emotions, too. further along evolution they might get higher up on the food chain, become smarter, etc. and when god created the universe he did not create only humans

    what about iconic animals, such as lambs?

  • Is it ok that i am a Christian but i believe in evolution, big bang theory, etc.?

    i am christian and i am devoted to my religion but am not crazy about it

    however, whenever i go on someone website or read comments written by Christians they state that we do not believe in evolution, in the big bang theory, etc.

    i disagree with this. i believe in evolution, the big bang theory. i think that being homosexual is natural to some extent (my friend claims that being gay is caused by demons)

    i mean to not believe in evolution, when there is so much proof, seems sort of silly

    in my opinion, god helps cause evolution, created the universe by causing the big bang theory, etc.

    basically god is god and all the different theories and stuff like that are his helpers.

    is it wrong that i do this? my family feels the same way but some of my other christian friends (including one who is from a different branch) disagree with me

    its not like im going to go to hell for thinking being gay is mostly natural right?

    btw if it helps im roman catholic
