how long do u think it will take to lose 5 pounds?

is this an okay story? me & my friend are writing it so it may be two different styles.?

t’s all my fault. I know it is, no matter what my mother says. And this guilty consious drenches me with anxiety attacks and tortures me by taking bits and pieces of my sanity, sometimes chunks, away from me to never be seen again. I love her, she is my sister, and sisters are the closest things in the world. But that’s only if you understand each other. And believe me, i cannot understand her. I cannot even come close. A lamp might as well be my sister.

But that is not to be thought of now, because now I am done. I’ve done my homework, packed my lunch, sewed Ella’s stuffed animal back together, cleaned the paint off the window, and set her up with a puzzle which should take her until someone gets home.

“Darian!” Ella squeals from the kitchen. I lift myself of my bed, as it sighs in relief. I catch a glimpse of my face in the mirror, the mirror that is cracked since Ella threw a picture frame at it. I want to look away. My face appears contorted and deformed between crevices, but I can’t blame the mirror for the bags under my eyes. Ella shrieks again and I rush down the stairs. I am immune now to her urgent cries, but you never can tell if my attention is needed for a ripped napkin or a broken bone.

“Darian!” Ella calls, sounding more annoyed then hurt. I slow to a stop. She is standing next to a puddle or cranberry juice, her cup left dripping on the counter. Wordlessly I grab some paper towels and mop it up while Ella watches me intently.

“There you go!” I stand up, finding myself face to face with her. She is almost as tall as me now, which is pathetic because I am four years older. Next thing I know her arms are around me, squeezing me with all her strength. These are the moments where I can pretend, for just a split second that nothing ever changed. That that day never happened. She looks up at me again with those huge brown eyes and lopsided smile.

“Thank you!” Her voice has so many different pitches and tones within two simple words. She sits back down with her puzzle. I head back up to my room, having just been snapped back to reality.

I lie down in bed, and wait for lovely slumber to take over my room. But it doesn’t come right away. Seemingly minutes, but in actuality several hours later, my alarm clock beeps. I angrily smack down on the button, heave myself out of bed, and drag my feet over to the closet, ignoring the mirror. i try to put on an outfit that contradicts my mood. I put on a yellow striped empire top and white jeans to start, but I end up wearing yoga pants and ratty old jacket that used to be white.

After getting dressed, I go down the stairs and pull out the cereal from the pantry. Pancakes are not for today. And there came the foot steps. For some reason I feared what those footsteps had to say.

“Darian! I found you asleep last night when I had asked you to watch your sister!” The footsteps boomed from the next room. I am too tired and dissapointed with myself and her to reply. i am too upset to point out that she had promised to be home a six anyway, not ten thirty, and that I shouldn’t have even had to feed anyone dinner. i pour my Cookie Crisps.

“I rely on you to take care of her. But when I came home last night Ella was asleep at the kitchen table!” She shakes her head. “I’m very dissapointed, Darian.” These are the last words I hear before the footsteps make there way back up the stairs creak by creak.

I don’t yell. i don’t cry. i just continue eating my miniature cookies. i know how to control myself.

“Darian?” came a weak voice, soft in so many tones. I looked up and saw big brown eyes full of fright and worry. I wasn’t angry anymore, although i wanted to be. I stood up but before i could speak those big brown eyes came closer her arms tightened around me. We stood there for a while, just hugging over my cereal.

Ella adores Reem. I can see why. Reem is cool, confident, and seems in control. And Ella always wants to be near someone who she feels is in control. Who wouldn’t. But it’s not just that, it’s also the fact that Reem is the only one of my friends who acknowledges Ella. Most of my other friends just ignore her or awkwardly say hi, but she and Reem really seem to have a bond. Sometimes i am jealous about how she can communicate with Ella so well, and how Ella does whatever she says no matter what. but mostly, i am just grateful. Grateful that we both have Reem in our lives.

Maybe it’s because she’s the closest neighbor I have in our tiny town, or maybe it’s because we are the only girls in our grade from Lincoln, but Reem is my best friend. She is automatically cool with her Lebanese charm, flirting it up with all the guys in our grade. She keeps me in control when I can’t stand my family, and I keep her in control when she can’t stand her step mom. It works

Comlete change of style?

Have you ever done a complete change of your personal style? I’ve been through a terrible loss lately, and getting my shattered self together I’m having an idea of making a complete change of my personal style. I’m getting in good shape, minding the diet, i hope to join a yoga class for meditation… To start with… I’m 30 yours old, throughout my whole life I had sportive style, short hair, reserved sombre style — gray color always preferred. How ridiculous could my looks be if I suddenly changed into dresses, bright colors, lacy things?

My friend has become uber shallow…She may have mental problems too. Should I dump her?

I have this friend I have known for 5 years. She used to be my best friend but this past year, she’s changed a lot. She’s become really shallow and preoccupied with her appearance. She is critical of others and how they look, including me. She’s mean to people a lot too. I think she may also have serious mental problems. I have told her to get help and she won’t. This is tearing apart our friendship and I feel like I don’t know her anymore. This may or may not be part of her mental problem. I know it sounds mean but I just don’t care anymore. I’m not a doctor and I can’t help her. Truthfully, I don’t even have very much in common with the ‘new’ her anymore.

The friend 5 years ago was a peaceful, yoga loving, hippie-vegetarian who looked like sort of like Mary Kate Olsen and dressed ‘boho’ in Birkenstocks, surfer shorts and t-shirts. Now she is a fur-wearing, hair bleaching, orange self-tanner coated bimbo who looks like Paris Hilton! Now all she does is talk about clothes and hair and play around with her Blackberry! I realize too that she may be mentally ill but she isn’t getting help and I am getting FED UP!

Should I be a ‘good’ friend and try to salvage this and be there for her? Or should I get rid of her and her ‘new’ Diva self? It’s really hard, I have known her a long time and I never thought it would come to this!
My friend is 26 by the way and not some teeanger going through a ‘phase’ for a more detailed mental health question try this one regarding the same friend:

to Z-she is acting BOTH b$tchy and freaky! If it was just a bi$chy issue, she’d have been gone long ago…also the ‘old’ more REAL person was a very dear friend and there for me when I needed her so it’s hard, u know?

Maternity – Bella Band? Or Belt?

Hey all! I am 20 weeks preggo with #1..just found out it’s a boy!! Anywho, today I went to Motherhood and bought a pair of jeans and a top, even though nobody can really tell I’m pregnant. I’m 5’7″, tall and slim, and the first thing the woman at the store ask was “Who are you shopping for?” *L* It’s gotten to where my pre-preg jeans are just too uncomfortable and have been wearing my yoga/sweat pants for comfort. I haven’t made the jump to maternity clothing yet, but am interested in this Bella Band? Is it best for my point in pregnancy, or should I get a support belt? I only have a little bump at the moment, but even pre-preg I had a bad back, and want to think this support belt will help with that, right? Am I too far along for a Bella Band at this point? This is my first so I’m just wondering which I should purchase and any specific one that is better than the other. I’m not looking to pay an arm and a leg, especially with summer coming up. I’m sure I will wear plenty of dresses and continue with my yoga pants and tanktops…(just upsize from S to M).. Just really curious about these bands.. *L* Thanks.

Grandma horns in, why the sudden change of heart?

I learned a while ago that you could get a hunting license on line. This means in terms of scheduling, that this 13 year old boy I am teaching to shoot could get a hunting license, in time for me to send in his application to hunt in the Angeles National Forest where I hunt. I took the boy out to the range, and we selected the gun he is going to use. Where I hunt, the shots are from 50 to 80 yards. Against my advice, the boy fired my rifles, and decided he wants to use a five and a half pound Winchester 92 clone (Rossi Puma, made in Brazil) chambered in .44-40. I suppose because of the mild/non existant recoil, and he is used to the open sights, because he has been firing my .22 open sight rifles.

So, all I need to do is order some .44-40 ammunition on line (you can’t buy it in stores here in Los Angeles) and take the boy shooting once or twice a month, and we will be set. Opening day, we pack for an overnight stay, so we will be in position when the season opens.

Prior to this time, the Grandmother never expressed the slightest interest in hunting. The boy’s parents were unfit, and the boy is raised by a Grandmother who loves him, and a long suffering Step Grandfather who never wanted children. So I have become a male role model for the boy. Anyway, suddenly, the Grandmother states that she wants to go hunting with us when we go. Huh? Umm. Ok. I guess she will have her choice of my Sears Model 53 (Actually a Winchester 70) in .243 with a four power scope , or my Sears Ted Williams Model 100 (actually a Winchester model 94) in .30-30 with a three power scope. The .30-30 kicks like a mule. And even though Grandma is still in pretty good shape for a woman her age (amazingly, she still has a figure, and at the Italian restaurant she manages/waitresses, it is funny to watch all the guys over 40 flirt with her) I doubt that she could take the wallop of a .30-30 in a six pound rifle. So I guess, I will need to order some .44-40, some .243 by internet, and then all three of us will be going monthly to the range, and then all three of us will be staying overnight to be in position for the beginning of deer season. I guess I have enough backpacking gear for all three of us. I don’t think three people can fit in my tent, so I wil have to pack in two tents. There is frequently snow on the ground at that time. The Forest has a ten thousand foot peak, and we will be hunting at about 4,000 feet in the beginning of Winter. I don’t want to ask Grandma to carry a pack, and I don’t want the boy to have to carry more than 20 pounds over his rifle and winter clothing. This makes things decidedly awkward, because I am a very small man (118 pounds, five foot four) who will have to basically carry overnight stuff for three people.I am very fit (soccer league, gym, running, yoga) but the terrain is uneven, and I don’t want to turn an ankle or fall far from the road. If they can both carry their own sleeping bag, toilet articles, sleeping pad, and long johns, I will be ok.

But as I said, this is going to make things much more awkward. And probably, only the boy will be getting a deer. Because I will let him shoot first.

So why the sudden change of heart on the part of Grandma do you suppose? It makes absolutely no sense to me. She has never expressed the slightest interest in hunting before.

You are trapped in time, like the ’50′s. I am an elementary school teacher. Kids today know all about child molesters. If I as a teacher so much as touch a child on the shoulder, they will run to the principal’s office. The idea that I could molest a child and this boy wouldn’t tell his grandmother is simply absurd. You are wildly out of touch.

Thank you for the information about online hunting licenses. I will make arrangements accordingly.

What things would you really like your boy/girl friend to say? Mine=?

She would say=

Are you sure you’ve had enough to drink?

You’re so sexy when you’re hung over.

I’d rather watch football and drink beer with you than go shopping.

Let’s subscribe to Hustler.

Would you like to watch me go down on my girlfriend?

Say, let’s go down to the mall so you can check out women‘s asses.

I’ll be out painting the house.

Honey..our new neighbor’s daughter is sunbathing again, come see!

I’ve decided to stop wearing clothes around the house.

No, No, I’ll take the car to have the oil changed.

Your mother did a great job raising you.

Do me a favor, forget the stupid Valentine’s day.

Shouldn’t you be down at the bar with your buddies?

Not the mall again, come on let’s go to that new strip joint!

That was a great fart! Do another one!

I signed up for yoga so I can get my ankles behind my head for ya.

Oh come on, what do ya say we get a good porno

Lost weight yet still the same size?

Before i joined the navy i lost 50lbs yet i was still the same size(a 13). Since i’ve been in i gained some of it back but lost weight again. Every now and then i can fit in a size 11. I don’t get it, does it have to do w/height? I’m 5’1 and have a large chest which frustrates me as well, most of the time when women lose weight the first place you lose it off of is your chest. I lost weight in my thighs, neck,face, and stomach yet i gained 2 inches in my waist when i got taped today. So what gives? I run, do yoga, pilates and walk for miles yet i’m still the same size and my chest still big. Its hard to be in standards for my body because of my height. I eat right and everything, i lose weight and inches yet some of my clothes still fit. I was told to do weight lifting to really help reduce my chest size and lose fat as well. Any suggestions as to why this is?

Does the beginning of my story sound good?

I know it may seem long but please read it! I need some feeback I’m 13 btwwww

My summer of finding myself has ended. Alright that sounds stupid because its not like im lost or anything but I feel like im not really here. Anyway, I promised myself, the last day of 9th grade that this summer would be different. But once again I say something that I never do. I was suppose to become popular, beautiful, find friends, go on exotic vacations and find love on the beach with a tall, dark handsome guy. I ended up getting up at 10 everyday and watching full house reruns until 3 and then making peace while doing yoga at my mothers yoga studio.
All my life I have always been quiet, shy and on the outside. I have never once had a real friend. Pathetic I know, dont remind me. I have always felt awkward around people my age so when I was in 5th grade, after struggling to find a friend and finding no one, I decided who needs friends. So I no longer talked to anyone with choice. But now, being 15 with no friends, no life, absolutly no one besides a crazy yoga obsessed mother, I’m kinda on the verge of lonlyness and may become crazy.
Don’t get me wrong its not like im major ugly or fat with tons of moutains of acne on my face. I probably look like exactly what 50% of the world looks like. Light brown hair, green eyes, fair skin…blah blah blah. Boring is the word.
So yes, I am a freak who has no friends and is going into 10th grade.Once again, how pathetic is that?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Wes, I mean it I have to leave in 20 minutes and if your not ready I am leaving without you. You will have to walk to school.” My mom yelled down the hall to me.
Today, is the first day of 10th grade and I, a girl with no friends, am scared. Scared actually isnt the right word, I am terrified, horrified, frightened…you get it. You must be thinking, why is she scared now when she has been going to school for 10 years without any friends? Well I never really cared about what people thought of me, but now I do. All I want is someone to notice me, and not for being weird, or wearing the wrong clothes.
So thats why I have been up since 5 o’clock trying to find the perfect outfit. I tryed casual, dressy, pretty much everything in my closet. Which, is hardly anything because I never use to care how I looked.
My mom walked down the hall to my room and leaned against the doorway.
“Wes, what are you doing?” My mom sighed while buttoning a white blouse.
“What does it look like? I’m trying to find something decent to wear.” I said gesturing to all the clothes I threw on my bed.
“Just put on something fast because we have got to go in-” she looked at her Fossil watch “10 minutes.”
“Arg! You don’t get it. I don’t have ANYTHING to wear.” I yelled. I haven’t told my mom my plan on finding friends. She would’nt care or understand. She doesnt even seem to notice I have none.
“Since when do you care what you wear? God damn-it Wes, I don’t have time for this. Greg has been up my ass about getting this story in on time and its due in exactly one hour, so If you want me fired then…” My mom is a workaholic, obsessed yoga instructer and a always on a diet woman. Greg is her gay boss who seems nice to me but I guess has a mean side. I can’t picture someone gay being rude though….no offence.
“WES, are you listeing to me? Put something on now and meet me in the car. I have to drop this off at the mailbox.” She snaps, holding up an envelope. Probably a letter to her sister, my aunt. Who we haven’t seen for about 2 years. Mom and aunt Jenna got in a huge fight about something that I’m “to young to know about.” And now mom is trying to get back in contact with her.
“Okay, okay jeez.” I yell. Today I am in the yelling mood. My mom is not helping this nervous day by being in a rush like always.
There is a plot this is just the beginning and EXCUSE ME for just writing and not worrying about my spelling.

A question for women who do yoga?

Hi
So I’m a guy who is interested in doing yoga.
The problem is I’m 6ft3, I have a fairly large build, I have a shaven head, and I wear my old death metal t-shirts when I work out and I’m not very good looking facially.
So here is my question.
If a big scary, ugly guy like me walks into your yoga studio, would you see me as just another guy trying out yoga or would you see a potentinal rapist? or sombody with somekind of bad ulterior motive?
I’m obviously not! I’m a nice guy!
But would you be constantly looking around to me to make sure I’m not perving over you because of my appearance?
My jujit-su prof recomended it.
I only ask beacause I see myself, showing up and the women giving me funny looks because I don’t look like your typical metrosexual male who does thiings like yoga.
P.S –
If you would save me from showing up and embarressing myself.
Thats all.

What to wear to a spin class?

know this sounds silly but I am more the organized sports type so I have equipment I have to wear when I play sports, but now in the off season, I am going to do a spin class and I don’t know what to wear! I don’t know if you sweat alot and if you spend alot of time sitting on the bike or standing while biking so I want to know what I should wear (I am a woman). I have everything imaginable to wear (yoga shorts, spandex, loose and tight capris and pants, tanks and t-shirts), so whatever you recommend for the most comfort would help alot!

Thanks everyone!

Is it very inappropriate for a woman to wear very tight, revealing spandex to work and not cover her butt?

A female acquaintance of mine dressed like this a few days ago at her work(small store, not a dance studio or yoga studio), and her round, well-proportioned butt was probably the most amazing thing I ever saw in my life. She’s very attractive and has a great figure. I couldn’t help but stare, and I got so incredibly turned on, I almost did “something” in my pants. She even had on high heels. I think she was trying to flirt with me or some other guy that day. When I went to pay, she nearly ran over to the cash register to take care of me, pushing aside the cashier who was already there and about to take care of my order.

Please note that I am not complaining, just curious, and I’m aware some people will think she’s a slut for how she dresses. I guess since it’s her place(one of the partners at a health/supplement store), she makes the rules, but is this style really in bad taste? Is this look really that “trashy”?
Sparrow, I do not think she wore them just for me, although she has been flirty with me before and kind of looks at me. I’m shy, kind of strange looking and not very handsome, so unless she has weird taste, it would be kind of weird for her to flirt with me.

As for your other comments, it seems when I mention this episode to some of my friends, just about all of them say she is nothing but a “tramp” or a “slut” too, or she’s “dumb” or “foolish” or “looking to get raped”, even though they don’t know her. They’ve even made very sickening racist statements, which I can’t even repeat(I’m white, this young woman isn’t). I do think this look may be “unprofessional” at worst, but it doesn’t make her a slut; it can just be very distracting, especially since she has to help a lot of customers. Still, women should be able to wear whatever they want.
And yes, her butt was covered by the tight spandex, but her shirt was short so there was nothing on top of the spandex. I couldn’t get over how perfectly they fit.

i bought a waist cincher, will it work?

supposedly brasilian women wear while working out. in brasil it’s called a FAJA. Question: does it REALLY work?? Website says I can reduce my waist 1-4 inches in 30 days. Website says to wear while excersing and also to wear everyday for 2-3 hours a day. I am dieting and working out with Yoga and equipment in a gym. So I will wear this thing while working out. I have lost about 20 pounds so far since July 2007.

Has anybody used one of these AND did it reduce your waist size after 30 days??

Desperate to get a waist line because my body shape is slim hips but no significant waistline. Body shape is like a ruler.

booties or shoes?

hi everyone!

in april, im going to boston for a few days and i dont no what to pack!

first, should i wear booties (short boots) or like adidas shoes or flats?

and also, how is the temperature there around that time of year?

thanks! ;]

Adjusting to wearing booties?

How has your dog adjusted to wearing them, do they fall off in the snow, what brand do you use?

Both my guys wear ruffwear, my older guy hated them until we moved to Colorado. Now he loves them. My disabled girl wore them for the first time today, she looked like I chopped off her feat when they first got put on. Once we got in the snow she loved them and when one fell off she found it for me and helped me put it back on.
Try PawZ natural rubber disposible boot, these showed my guy how cool boots are in the snow. They actually stayed on and they are thin enough he never high stepped when they went on. He used to high step and flick them off in 30sec too, he’d get them off before I stood up before… I think it depends on paw shape too, his paws don’t spread out below the hocks and they slide right off if he doesn’t want them on.
My guys get fairly bad snow pack on our several mile walks. I can provide several hundred links regarding winter dog safty referencing frostbite, chemical burns and snow pack.
