  • My mom hides candy from me because she thinks I am fat. Advice?

    When I was 13/14 i hit puberty and gained some weight. Ever since then, my mom has been bugging me about it. Telling me to eat less candy and lose weight. I don't eat enormous amounts of sweets at all (I could eat less, of course, just like most people). And now I'm 19, so this has been going on for like 5 years. I have had low self esteem and body issues due to my weight and have been yoyo-ing a bit the last few years. Lately I've gained some weight again and now my mom is really picking on me about it. Always if I'm eating breakfast she "accidentally" walks into the kitchen to check on what I'm eating, and if I look like I might eat some more for breakfast, she says she can "tidy up after me", just so I won't eat more.

    Last night, my brother bought lots of candy, and the first thing he did was to hide the bag of sweet/sour gummy things from me. So now my mother has dragged my brother into this and I know he's been ratting me out to her about eating candy. And today I really had a sort of breakdown. I asked my brother if I could have some chocolate, and he lied to me about it, but of course I found out, he's the worst liar in the world. I proceeded to search the house for the stuff he bought last night, and finally I found it LOCKED into his school supply cabinet by his desk. Along with the peanuts I'm not allowed to eat. I now feel really betrayed by my brother and I resent my mom and dad for bitching about my weight, and I've been crying all night and feel like a fat loser, whose family has to hide food from me.

    I am 160cm (5'2) and weigh 62kg(137lbs), which means I am within the range of what is considered healthy. I don't think I'm fat, I have a little extra here and there, but I'm not overweight. Needless to say I'm not close to my family when it comes to talking, but any advice on how to just feel better. The usual "you're fine the way you are", is starting to bounce off me and I'm feeling really down.

  • Help with text analysis program Java?

    What I'm trying to do:

    - Find all the words in the text (I already have a .txt, which I'm going to use)

    - Count how many times eacy word appears in the text (assume max is 5000)

    - Write a summary of the search results to a new text, where I'm going to print total counted words first and the number of unique words second. + one part where each unique word is listed with the word and the number of times it appeared.

    - Two words are counted as one if the only difference is a capital letter

    - when reading a word from file, and it hasnt been registered before, the word goes to the first place of the array 'words' and increase the value of the array 'count' by one and also add one to the variable 'numUniqueWords'.

    - When reading the same word you just update the array 'count'.

    Please, just basic, easy tips, I'm a beginner :)

  • Install MySQL Query Browser?

    The book we are using for my class is based on Query Browser, but nearly all of these have been removed and replaced by Workbench. It's really difficult to follow the instructions, because the two versions are so different. And when I try to install Query Browser on my Win. 7, it only redirects me to Workbench. Is there a way to install Query Browser on Win. 7?

  • Nine millimeter goes bang (not krs one) - what song?

    We use this song in my hip hop class, but I can only remember "nine millimeter goes bang" or "nine millimeter ghost". Not sure what they're saying. I tried googling it. I did lots and lots of different searches, but I cam up with nothing. Any hip hop enthuisiasts with a clue about what song this could be? It's NOT the one by Krs One or whatever his name is.

  • If a guy isn't into me already, will he ever be?

    So, I met this guy on recital-thingy, and I like him, but I'm shy, so I get really nervous when talking to him in person. So nervous I don't know what to say, which causes an awkward situation sometimes. Anyway, we've been chatting a couple times on FB, but I always take the initiative, and he seems like a guy who's confident enough to ask a girl out/talk to her if he's into her. I doubt he has feelings for me, at least not yet, but if we keep talking, do you think he might like me?

    We only met about two weeks ago.

  • Is this a good program for muscle gain?

    I want to lose weight, so I'm going to start building more muscle. I don't have a gym membership because where I live they are just too expensive, so I have to work out at home. I also dance a lot, so that's sort of the cardio part of my weight loss. I have tried to get into a good pattern when it comes to strength exercises, but I tend to quit after a couple weeks because it takes too long.

    So I'm wondering if I do 20-25 minutes of strength training every day, instead of 60 minutes 2-3 times a week, will I still get good results? I'm going to include all the important muscle groups in every session.

  • How should i break my fast?

    I am going on a 10-14 day water fast (please, don't give me lectures, it won't change my mind), but I'm wondering how I can get my metabolism back on track again after the fast, without gaining too much weight.

    What should/shouldn't I eat?

    How much should I eat?

    How long should I spend on breaking the fast?

    If you could make some sort of schedule (like: day 1: eat blablabla), I'd really appreciate it :)

  • Metabolism, fruit diet and breaking the diet?

    Lately, I've been eating too much junk, so I really want to break my bad habits by going on a fruit diet. Will this slow my metabolism down? I dance 7-8 hrs a week + ice skating two-three times a week for about half an hour. I was thinking about staying on the diet for 10-14 days.

    And if my metabolism slows down, how do I get it back up?

    How much and what kind of fruit should I eat for it to be as beneficial as possible?

  • Help me steer away from candy at birthday party?

    I'm a real sweet tooth, and right now I'm on a "no sugar" diet. Not literally no sugar, but I'm not allowed to eat candy or cakes etc. etc. You get the point. I'm going to my aunt's birthday party next saturday, and there will definitely be served cake. When I'm at parties and such, I have trouble keeping my hands off sweet stuff. It's not so hard when I'm just at home. I really don't want to blow my sugar break. Any tips on how to stop myself from eating cake?
