    News: Obese girls much less likely to attend college

    Too often overlooked. I think that for a lot of us, in our rush for success we forget that our parents spent a large amount of their youth sampling the greenery of India and making their own shoes. There's nothing wrong with becoming a mechanic now even if you want to be a CEO later. For...

    Settling and other musings...

    I would never settle. Even when I truly despised myself I wasn't willing to accept men who weren't my ideal, or close to it. Watching my aunts, who are lovely women, with men who weren't even close to being their equals was enough to make me realise that if I couldn't love myself, strangers who...

    sweet potatoes!

    One of my favourite recipes involves peeling a sweet potato and cutting it into slices about half an inch thick. I brush both sides of the slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and then bake in the oven turning once crisp, but not burnt. At the very end I'll put a slice of greek...

    News: Obese girls much less likely to attend college

    Did you go to a school and university where students were very confident about their decisions? Or did you just happen to have a social circle that included people who were very passionate about what they wanted to do with their lives? Maybe it's due to cultural differences. I know that a...

    What Are You EATING right now?

    Cheese. I have so much orphan cheese living in my fridge that I finally felt the need to cull. Three different smoked cheddars, a triple cream monstrosity, a danish blue and a soft goat's milk cheese. Nothing else, just cheese. Very delicious.

    Need punch ideas!

    I mix sparkling mineral water and pineapple juice before adding in finely sliced kiwi fruit and mint leaves. It's very refreshing and not so sweet that you can't consume it with dessert.

    Do you do this?

    There's another category here I think. Some of us just don't want to show off our bodies. It's not a matter of being insecure or otherwise but simply not wanting to share what we have whether for moral, religious or reasons otherwise. For me it's a conscious decision to wear what I feel...

    News: Obese girls much less likely to attend college

    18 year olds as a whole tend to lack direction and passion. When you've spent 12 years of your life being babied by your parents and teachers, the last thing you should be thinking about is education. A gap year is a great way for those of us without a clear goal - I'd estimate that at 3/4 of...

    News: Obese girls much less likely to attend college

    Then I suppose there's the number of Western countries facing a trade skills shortage because parents truly believe the path to success involves a university degree. That's where a gap year comes in handy. 18 year olds frequently don't know what they want to do in life, and if you or your...

    Size and Coupling...

    I'm sorry my post was taken the wrong way, and accept that perhaps this may be the wrong forum for such a view. I haven't a problem with that as I'm not the one paying the server bills. I don't think I in any way internalise the views the mainstream media has of me and my size, and to infer such...

    News: Obese girls much less likely to attend college

    I wonder if the fact that this is an American study has somewhat skewed the results. As I understand, it's very common for Americans to live in residence for university. If someone had said to me at 18 that I not only had to take on the seachange that is leaving the comfort and safety of school...

    Preventitive Health - your routine?

    I must admit, I've never really seen dental care as being part of good health. It's always been one of those things, see a dentist every six months for a flouride treatment and a clean with my checkup. A useful tip for doctor's visits from my mother who knew how much I used to dislike going...

    Childrens health/weight being on their report card

    Maybe he's simply not active during PE lessons. I never was, and I was a very skinny child. I just preferred to read rather than stand in line for 30 minutes only to hop along a mat with a hoola hoop around my middle. What was the point? I knew that when I got home I could run around and go...

    "I'm really concerned about your health....." Friend or Foe?????

    I find it irritating and the perfect venue to bring up the concept of boundaries in friendships.

    Really sick and tired of wasting my money on..

    I like anything by Dior. I'm not sure how they stack up against other brands as I've never worn anything else unless it's been borrowed from a friend. And who enjoys themselves in borrowed makeup anyway? The colours are very pretty and the palettes they do are always so nicely presented.
