Answer by JLB
Don’t bother. I’m 30 and still have mental issues with my weight, which is perfectly fine to my doctor. It’s because we see women in magazines and want to look like them. What most girls don’t realize is that these women work out 4 hours a day. If we all had the time to do that, we would be on magazine covers too.

My friend is going crazy over her weight and it’s driving ME crazy!!!???!!!!?
Question: My friend is going crazy over her weight and it’s driving ME crazy!!!???!!!!?
OK, so my friend is about 5’3″, 99lbs, 7th grade, and she’s really skinny. All of my friends and hers say that she is so skinny. I thinks it’s gross. I checked on that BMI website and it’s says she normal for her weight, but she looks gross. She barely eats anything and when she does, she thinks she fat. I tell her she’s not, but she will still say she is. I got really mad at her the other day, but we made up. Also about a few weeks ago she had to go to the doctors and got an IV in her arm because she was low on nutrients, since she wasn’t eating. My question is, Is there any way I can tell her to start eating and that I am tired of her saying, “I’m SO fat!”….PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

Tell her she is boring everyone to tears and if she carrys on she had better find new friends. I agree it is sooo boring when someone goes on and on about their weight.

Am I over reacting or did I do the right thing to my mother? Sorry its long?
Question: Am I over reacting or did I do the right thing to my mother? Sorry its long?
Let me start my story off by staying my mother is a complete nut. I got pregnant at the age of 18 and didn’t stay with the father of my son. My mother demanded me that I will live with her and that I hand my baby over to her and can not leave her house hold until my son turns of age. When things don’t go my mothers way with what I wanna do with my son she flips and threatens to call the police and say I am being an unfit mother. Which is completely untrue. She has actually called the police on me a few times to report that “i abandoned my son outside and that I hit him and starve him of his food” Which is completely not true. He has no cuts nor scratches on him and he is a thriving almost one year old who weighs 22 pounds. So 6 months ago when my mother was out of town me and my son moved into an apartment. I started a good job and have a nanny watch my son while I work 9-6 mon to friday. So two weeks ago I get a knock on my apartment door. It was a lawyer serving me court papers. So I read it she is trying to say that I am unfit to take care of my son and I neglect him. So I completely stopped talking to her because all she has done is do drama to me and my son. She calls me and asks to come over and I always ignore her calls and ignore her emails and everything else. I basically called her the other day and told her I want her out of my life for good. She is now depressed and upset. Do you think I made the right move if you were in my situation??

Answer by Kidneys of Iron
The fact that you believe you will find a solution to what is obviously a long running family problem on the internet (or more specifically, the brain trust that is Yahoo Answers) makes me believe that you most definitely ARE a completely unfit mother.
Kyli: You’re totally right, it’s a brilliant idea to get advice from random people on the internet, especially when you can give them a slanted version of events and essentially use them to confirm your own bad decisions or ideas. It works even better when they are completely unaware of the scope of the situation, but can still dispense crappy, half retarded advice. What you have essentially said is that you are more qualified to advise people if you know less about their problem and who they are as a person. Do the world a favor and get a lobotomy, you complete and utter moron.
Essseee: Wow. Just when I thought I had run into the biggest dipshit on here, you decide to join the discussion. I looked at a few of your other answers. Apparently you are going around on the internet telling people that they “might be psychic” which speaks for itself as to your intelligence. I wouldn’t expect you to understand anything I write. Regardless, you are a classic example of the sort of people who inhabit yahoo answers: an idiot who should not be giving advice to anybody, about ANYTHING. Anyway, leaving all of that aside, I have already explained why your advice is worthless in the previous paragraph. I won’t restate what I’ve already written. Reading comprehension doesn’t seem to be your strength anyway. Try getting your Dad to read it to you if it’s too hard. Good luck, you pathetic little retard.

Am I being taken advantage of or am I over reacting?
Question: Am I being taken advantage of or am I over reacting?
I’ve been best friends with this girl since our first year of high school. I can’t tell if she’s using me or if I’m just being a good friend to her in her times of need for example, I loanded 115 bucks to buy uniforms for work when we were in like 9th grade she promised to pay me back of course she never did. She know I’m currently unemployed and I recieve weekly unemployment checks(not much) despite the fact that she works and has a good $ 700 saved up in the bank she asks me to buy her things knowing I don’t have much money. We went to out to dinner one night and the whole evening she was fully expecting to pay her own way. At the cash register she suddenly turns to me and says “will u pay for my food” I did. And there have been LOTS of other occurences just like the one described never a thank you or I really appreciated that. Tonight this one left me speechless and I’m at a complete loss for words. For the past few days she has been begging me to come visit her and her newborn baby. I agreed and right before I said I was on my way she asked if I had 5 dollars for us to smoke a blunt with. I said yes and went over. I got there and we talked and Hung out for a while it was getting late and we couldn’t smoke because she hadn’t been able to get the baby to sleep. I was getting tired and I wanted to leave but I stayed because I know she really wanted to smoke. Eveentually we sparked up the blunt and somewhere inbetween then and halfway thru the blunt she realized the baby wasn’t feeling well so she left me in the basement for like 20 minutes while she tended to the baby. I was just starting to think maybe I should just leave when I heard her and her boyfriend talking about me laughing saying will I ever leave at one point she even told her boyfriend to comedownstairs and tell me to leave. And the second she said she came flying downstairs with a phony excuse for why I had to leave. It was embarassing and it feels like she just used me to smoke some weed. I left the blunt in the basement because i know that’s all she wanted I feel so sad and depressed now. This is really bringing me down. I can’t beloved our whole entire friendship is a lie.

Am I being over paranoid about feeding my daughter certain foods?
Question: Am I being over paranoid about feeding my daughter certain foods?
Okay my daughter just turned a year old. She has only 8 teeth and only the bottom two are all the way grown out. She doesn’t really know how to chew very well so I still feed her stage 3 baby food dinners or I mash up spaghetti-O’s or other soft soups/foods. Alot of my family tease me about this but I know my daughter isn’t ready to eat things like potatoe chips or meats or anything else that requires “chewing” and I now have the fear of leaving her alone to be baby sat for fear that they will give her something against my orders that I know she will for sure choke on. Am I being too phobic and depriving my daughter of “good food” as they so often say. Also let me add that I do have a serious fear of choking and I freeze up in situations like that a few years ago I almost watch my dad suffocate on fathers day on a piece of steak, I knew cpr and was trained in it and when I saw him choking I froze and couldn’t move so this adds to my not “taking chances” but to me this is different because her teeth are NOT completely through and she doesn’t really chew she more or less sucks on things to get them mushy. So opinions pls, Am I being over paranoid or do I have a valid point and shes really not ready for certain foods??????
Answer:
Answer by Rugratzzzzzzzzzzz
Of course she cannot chew on a steak, but there are lots of other foods that she can have, I dont think you need to mash everything, but if its soft then she will get the idea. soft pasta, veg, fish are easy to eat and suck/chew. If you need to mush it then do it only a small amount leave some small lumps in it, just so she can get the idea, and if she just swallows then its not going to hurt her. give her what you eat, but in small pieces, if she grabs a carrot from the table let her eat it, or try to. use fresh veg broccoli, cauliflower, peas, potatoes, beans, even sausages.
there is no real time frame for changing onto solids, but most should be having something from 4-5 months.
Wish you luck

HELP!! How to get over having really low self esteem!?
Question: HELP!! How to get over having really low self esteem!?
Hey everyone, I met this really cool guy online and he asked me out on a date (my first date EVER and I’m 20)!! The thing is, I am really insecure and I have this strong urge to say no because I keep asking myself
a) why does he like me
b) he won’t think I’m pretty when he meets me
c) I’m too fat for him
etc etc etc
All my life, I’ve grown up hearing things like “you’re fat” or “you’re not pretty” etc from my mom, dad, and other family members and I just don’t know how to get over being so insecure anymore.
Here’s a picture of me… could you tell me if my parents are right? Am I too ugly and should I change myself before going out on any dates with a guy? Thank you!

Answer by Kaska
You are so pretty! Your family was just being weird when they were saying those things to you. If you really like this dude just go out and have fun with him like he was one of your friends, adding in some flirting always helps 
Since you meet him online make sure it’s safe. Have fun with it!

How can I get over my low self esteem?
Question: How can I get over my low self esteem?
I never really bother to like guys, or say “Oh, that guy is cute!” when I’m with my friends. I always call myself ugly, and a lot of people say that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. I wanted to believe that, but my best friend told me I was ugly, her MOM said I was ugly, some other people say it too. A lot of people are saying “Ha ha your fat!” or “How much do you weigh? XD” to me. I usually just laugh it off, but recently I’ve been getting emotional to the point where I hate myself and think of locking myself in my room and never getting out. I’m a good student, and I have a lot of friends, but usually I’m tired of worrying about keeping my head up so I don’t get a double chin, or wearing baggy clothes so I don’t look as chubby. I want to be able to go out and not worry about when people are looking at me. I’m chubby, not obese. I’m a tomboy because wearing larger clothing and looking like a guy will make people not think “Look at that fat chick!”. I want to wear girl clothes, and I want to act girly. I’m above average tall for my age too. I know it doesn’t suit me, and I’m worried if I’m wasting my time worrying about things like this. I don’t know what to do with myself.

how do i get over thinking im fat when im not?
Question: how do i get over thinking im fat when im not?
so ill quickly give you my story.. im 23 and have been extremely sick for the past year. in february i got down to 38 kilos (83 pounds) and ended up in hospital on a drip unable to feed myself. i hated how skinny i was and when i looked at myself in a full length mirror i just burst into tears because i looked anorexic! as i started to get a little better i was told by doctors to eat as much as possible, and also use a hospital formula protein drink to put on weight. i did this and got back up to a perfect weight within 3months. because i gained weight so quickly, i now feel so uncomfortable and overweight. i know that im not because im at the low end of a perfect BMI, but my mind justwont stopp telling me “you are too fat”. sometimes i lose my appetite and dont finish meals because im scared to gain weight. before all this i never obsessed about how i look and its driving me crazy! how do i get over this. its almost like an anorexic type thinking. do i need therapy?

I think the formula industry is getting over on us, w/ the “formula till 12 months” rule…?
Question: I think the formula industry is getting over on us, w/ the “formula till 12 months” rule…?
if a baby can start eating table food at 6 to 9 months and that included cheese, meat, and other foods that are a job on the digestive track, then why do formula companies have us believing that babies can’t handle simple cows milk, with all the other stuff (including dairy) that you’ll feed them?
i think that the formula companies are paying off the doctors to make millions at our expense. i know quite a few mothers who broke this rule while adding nutritious foods to their babies diet and have very healthy babies.
i started my babies on cow’s milk at 9 months (after weaning from the breast, and along with their new “table food” diets) and neither of them showed any signs of stomach problems. they are 1 and 3 now and they are growing fine, and show no signs of illness from early introduction to cow’s milk.
i’m sure most/if not all of you are all for the “formula till age 1″ but really, if the kids is eating TABLE FOOD, they can definitely handle pasteurized, vitamin fortified, cow’s milk. do you agree or disagree?
Answer:
Answer by Jack
I have my own opinions about cows milk, (I prefer soy and so does my child) but I would see nothing wrong with giving a child milk as soon as they can really eat table food. The reason they tell you not to give kids anything but baby food or formula or breast milk for the first year is because allergies develop more strongly before age one.

Do babies over 9 mos really need to nurse at night? And how do I get her to sleep through the night?
Question: Do babies over 9 mos really need to nurse at night? And how do I get her to sleep through the night?
My daughter just turned 9 months yesterday. Now it’s been said, and I know many things have been said, that babies that are 9 months or older don’t really need to nurse at night, and that they are just waking up to see you.
During the day my daughter is still eating every 2-3 hours. She eats 3 “baby food” meals a day, and has snacks, juice and water through out the day. She she’s getting pleanty of food other than breast milk. She isn’t a chubby baby either, so it’s not like she’s eating too much either.
But my concern is that I have 4 kids, I wake up ever 2 hours or more at night with my daughter and I am exhuasted. I sometimes just bring her into bed with me because I can barely walk into her room, let alone sit there and feed her. She’s been sleeping in her own room since, I don’t know about 4 months old I think. Maybe sooner. I thought that her being in there and away from me at night would help her sleep better at night.
When I put her down for naps and bedtime I have been rocking her, so I don’t just let her cry. I’m not against the cry it out method, I have done it with her but it breaks my heart I guess. So I don’t know if just letting her cry at night will work (because I don’t think I can do it). Mom’s and books say that after 9 months babies don’t need to nurse at night and to just let them cry in the middle of the night and they’ll get the message that your not coming in to feed her.
So…. If babies don’t NEED to nurse at night, how do I get her to break this habbit and how do I get her to sleep better at night?? We have a pretty good bedtime ritual so I don’t think that’s the prob. And she does have a pacifier at night and at naps. (Which I don’t like pacifiers all that much and I was thinking of taking it away at 9 months but she’s gonna be teething soon and don’t think that will be very smart).
I am not wanting to stop feeding her at night because she turned 9 months. My concern is that I am so very tired and that if she really doesn’t need it, then how do I fix this prob.
I’m not the type of mom to just do what a book says, I go by the moment and if I believe it’s the best thing to do then I’ll decide to do that.
Yes she’s REALLY nursing at night. lol She eats a full meal just like during the day. I thought of that too, but she’s eating not just comforting herself. When I put the pacifier in her mouth rather than feeding her, she gets so mad and freaks out. She’s sayin mama I want to eat!! lol

Answer by 2boyslostmind
My first son nursed or took a bottle 1-3 times a night until 15 months….
I lessened the number of times getting up by delaying going to him…. To see if he’d just go back to sleep
my second son is 6 months and still nurses 1-4 times a night….
My only advice is to delay going to her… Of course with other kids in the house I know the worry about the other kids waking and having to deal with that….
Good luck… You are not alone
