Ever wonder how many military families live on installations, how many have children, what schools they attend, and the children of fallen service members? Military OneSource has created an "infographic" to give context on the demographics for military families. Check it out.
For information and resources geared specifically for military families, check out HPRC's Family & Relationships domain.
Personal finances can be a major source of anxiety for Warfighters and family members. Creating a monthly budget can help. A budget is simply tracking money that comes in (income), goes out (expenses), and sticks around (your savings) each month. It does take some effort in the beginning to set up a budget, but once it's done, it's easy to update. If you don't like using computer spreadsheets or writing things down in a ledger book, there are free apps you can use or budgeting programs you can buy. Or check around online—MilitaryOneSource has a budget worksheet. Or get help—some of the Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLC) are Personal Financial Management (PFM) counselors too. They are familiar with military life and its financial challenges, and using their services is free. Visit Military INSTALLATIONS to find the closest PFM to you. Finally, most banks offer tips on their websites on how to save and manage debt, and your local branch may offer free financial seminars.
The key to reducing expenses in order to save is easy—spend less. Many people, however, have a hard time cutting back on spending. A budget can help you keep on track. Saving money takes effort, but it's worth it for your financial future.
Basic Formula: "Money In" minus "Money Out" equals "Money Retained."
Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day! Thank you for your dedicated service to your families and our country. Day in and day out you juggle daily life, your family's needs, and the additional demands on the spouses of those in military service. HPRC thanks you for all you do—on this day and everyday!
The annual Army "Strong B.A.N.D.S." campaign is set to launch for another year beginning in May. Strong B.A.N.D.S. promotes physical fitness, nutrition, optimal health, and resilience by focusing on Balance, Activity, Nutrition, Determination, and Strength—forming the acronym B.A.N.D.S. The campaign has activities at numerous garrisons to help educate soldiers, their families, and civilians. Strong B.A.N.D.S. is a campaign of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation directorate and is "designed to energize and inspire community members to live a healthy lifestyle."
Check out the website for detailed information and to see if there is a Strong B.A.N.D.S. activity near you.
Do you see physical education classes decreasing in your children's schools compared to the PE you had when you were younger? Do you want to help your children be active and eat healthier, but you don't know where to start? Tell your children's school about the American Council on Exercise (ACE) program called Operation Fit Kids, which consists of two curricula for educators (free to download after completing a survey): one for 3rd to 5th graders and another for 6th to 8th graders. They provide seven lessons with lesson plans, worksheets, and activities a group can do to learn and practice being healthy. After all, practice makes perfect!

Hearing is usually one of those abilities we take for granted—until we lose it. Make sure your children know the importance of hearing, and help them by encouraging healthy hearing habits. Just like helping them make healthy food choices or exercise, you can help your kids learn healthy hearing habits. The Department of Defense has a Hearing Center of Excellence that does research and provides educational information on the importance of hearing for optimal performance. Last month they wrote a blog on nurturing healthy hearing habits in your children that offers the following three tips:
- Talk to children about the importance of protecting their hearing in their everyday lives. Awareness of noise pollution is the first step towards a lifetime of healthy hearing.
- Make it fun. HCE has links to online tools such as an interactive sound ruler, games, and videos. (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also has a fun "Noise Meter.")
- Make it a family affair; discuss how you deal with noise and demonstrate what you do to protect your own hearing, such as turning down the sound on video games and MP3 players. Your children will follow your example.
If you instill good hearing habits in your children now, they will be ready as adults to cope with the kinds of noise pollution that have been leading to hearing loss among Warfighters.
It's the New Year! If you're already despairing about resolutions, keep in mind that making small changes in behavior that fit easily into your lifestyle are good options for family health and weight loss over time. For one month, try choosing three small habits to focus on changing that you can apply to any situation, whether you're at home, overseas, or travelling. Try setting up email or calendar reminders if that helps you, or put up tangible reminders such as sticky notes around your house. To get you started, here are some ideas:
- Keep unhealthy foods such as potato chips, cookies, etc. out of sight so they are less tempting.
- Put down your fork and knife between bites.
- Portion out "snackable" foods that come in large bags/containers into smaller one-serving containers, so you don't keep dipping in.
- Choose water over soda.
- Keep fresh fruit on hand to replace fatty, high-calorie snacks.
For more help, Military OneSource has a Health and Wellness Coaching Program that can help you lose weight and improve your overall fitness. Finally, for more information on making healthy food choices for you and your family, visit HPRC's Family Nutrition section.
Do you show your loved one appreciation? Gratitude is an essential element in happy relationships. Couples who feel appreciated by their significant others in turn are more appreciative back to the other person. Also, when shown appreciation, people tend to be more responsive to their significant other's needs. In short, gratitude is contagious! Try it. When you next talk to your significant other, find something to be appreciative about and see if it has any positive ripple effects. This can also help maintain intimacy when you are apart from your loved one due to deployment or TDY.

Preventing obesity should begin at an early age, because children who are overweight often become obese as adults. And while many of us know that we need to eat right and exercise, there are also risk factors that we are born with that we can't change. Now you can calculate your child's risk of developing obesity with an online calculator.
The calculator was developed by a team of researchers who looked at a number of well-known biological and social risk factors for developing obesity. They were able to boil down their findings to six simple factors that provide a reasonably accurate probability of whether a child will develop obesity:
1) The body mass indexes (BMIs) of both parents. (HPRC has a link to a calculator you can use to calculate BMI.)
2) The number of people who live in the house.
3) What kind of work the child's mother does.
4) Whether the mother smoked during her pregnancy.
5) The birth weight of the child (in kilograms). (To convert pounds [lb] to kilograms [kg], multiply pounds by 0.45359237.)
Living a healthy lifestyle is beneficial for everyone, but tools like this can help you determine whether your child is particularly at risk for becoming an obese adult, so that you can make important health changes early in life. For ideas to help your family be physically active and healthy, check out this HPRC Healthy Tip as well as the family physical fitness and family nutrition sections of HPRC's website.

Made from pure squirrel hair on a short handle these striping brushes hold a large reservoir of paint for a wide range of lining applications - and particularly by the pinstriping fraternity. It's fine point and long hair mean that an array of effects can be acheived with this brush. Using only the tip of the brush you can produce incredibly long fine lines or with slightly more body, beautiful foliage effects.
Not quite what I expected: the photo gave no sense of scale. It is fair in use, but the hairs could do with a touch more spring to my way of thinking
Love this brush, very happy
Size 3 hairs are 12mm wide, 2mm thick, 60mm long. A few hairs came out on first use, hopefully this will stop. Quite floppy with not much spring. Tiny 45mm handle (75mm with ferrule).
Good brushes although alot smaller than expected for The price

Picture: Jared Leto of 30 Seconds To Mars performing live at the X-Fest San Diego, California - 20.05.07
Movie hunk Jared Leto is set to shock fans in his new movie LONELY HEARTS - by playing a bald murderer.
The sexy actor, who has dated Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson, went to great lengths to look like real-life Lonely Hearts murderer RAYMOND FERNANDEZ even plucking out his hair daily so he really would look bald.
He explains, "I plucked my hair with tweezers every single day for hours. That was just the beginning... It was something that made me question why I was doing it.
"I wanted to leave some strands and I don't like to wear wigs or do any of that. I wanted to make it look as authentic as possible.
"By plucking the hairs out, the problem is they grow back like a beard, so every day or so you got to go and pluck all the hairs. I'm hoping that they grow in."

77 reviews | 3.7 out of 5
have had this phone for 3 days and am really pleased. i have already been using a windows phone for a year(samsung focus) so am used to this operating system. smooth, simple to use and fun. the only reason i gave it a 4 for expectations is the display and the keyboard. the display is very good but compared to my old samsung focus super amoled screen, it is not as clear, colors are not as vivid and it is not as bright. the keyboard seems a little sluggish to me. all in all the internet experience is fast and fluid. decent camera. well worth the money. have been with straight talk for 3 years and am convinced it is the only way to go. contracts are ridiculously expensive. speaker is loud and calls are clear at both ends. fantastic battery life. no regrets.
I have a co-worker who has a windows phone and loves his so when I saw that straight talk also has the window phone I thought I would give it a go. It has plenty of room for apps and gadgets all on the face and another place to keep the apps that you maybe wouldn't use daily but would still like easy access to. My husband wanted to know if I thought he would like one as well. He did purchase one too and is having as much fun with his as I am mine. The screen is large enough to view pictures with out having to zoom in just to see them. I can finally take notes to myself and have them always with me. I listen to music a lot on mine too and think the sound is great. Good selection of free games and apps. I haven't used it yet, but we have Net Flix on these as well. I was asked how I liked my phone and I said it was like being able to take my computer with me in a small package. I am very happy with this phone.
The good. This phone has1.2GHZ Dual Core Processor4 GB internal memory, if you want to store alot of music videos and photo i recommend a getting a microSD card. A 32GB microSD card is the largest this phone can support. Camera's
rear facing cam is a 5 megapixel camera and video recorder LED flash
front facing camera is a VGA 0.3 megapixel camera and video recorder 4'' IPS LCD touchscreen made of Gorilla Glass (high scratch resistance) The best thing about this phone it uses AT&T network in my area. (most of straight talks smart phones use Sprint's network and their coverage is terrible.) Easy to set up just follow the steps on the screen or open manual. If you have a Xbox 360 get the smart glass app to use this phone with your Xbox 360 The Bad As of right now the Apps in Windows Phone store are lacking One last thing
Also you can take the sim card out of this phone and put it into any at&t smart phone change the apn settings on the phone to straight talks and your golden. Any questions feel free to ask!
Ok, let me start by saying this. I DO NOT OWN THIS PHONE. I have used it for a few hours, but this phone is nearly identical to my Nokia Lumia 822. I'm mainly going to talk about the software side of this phone to educate people. Let me also say I have been a Blackberry, iPhone, and Android user. 6 months ago I would tell you to always buy an Android phone, I worshipped them. But when it came time for my upgrade I decided to chance it with a Windows Phone. A choice I do not regret at all and has seriously made me fall in love with phones again. This phone will sync beautifully with your Microsoft Account (Hotmail, Live, Outlook, etc.#. And for Google and Facebook users simply open up your People Hub #contacts# and you can sign in with those accounts as well and have all of your contacts transferred to your new Windows Phone.
The live tile interface may take time to get use to for users of different smartphones but once you do it'll really make life feel so much easier, it's a strange thing I can't explain. I feel as though I can do so much more in say a 2 minute period than I ever could on Android. Microsoft also added a cool feature for kids #parents, you'll love this#. The feature is called Kid Zone, it's enabled though the settings. This lets you set up a personal start screen for your kid's to access. If you have little ones you can just add games and maybe a camera app, for older ones maybe add Internet Explorer and Facebook. You can customize it anyway you like! As far as the specs on this phone some people may think they are low. That isn't the case. Windows Phone doesn't require much to run which is why I have never experienced any type of lag or freezing at all. Well ok, ONE time I downloaded a poorly rated app and it locked up my phone. But that's nothing really, I had to battery pull all the time on Android. I don't know what else to really say. The OS on this phone is phenomenal. Anything bad said about it is mainly from people who don't give it a chance or they receive a faulty phone. The fact is, Windows Phone is growing faster than any other smartphone OS in the world #based on percent increase). I invite you to search for Engadget's review of Windows Phone 8. It is very detailed and thorough. So all in all, I would recommend this phone to anyone. Windows Phone 8 is PERFECTION.
The phone itself is great. It is fast, easy to navigate. I enjoy the phone and would recommend it to anybody for the price.
The problem I have had is with Straight talk. They do not have their system set up for this windows phone properly so I am unable to send or receive MMS messages. I spent hours on the phone with straight talk, and eventually they told me it was a problem with the phone I bought. I took it back and bought a new one, and still have the same problem. Just thought I would share this so people understand the situation at hand when buying this Windows phone
We bought this phone for my wife two weeks ago. Now...I never review products online but felt like I had to do this. My wife is a bit of a technophobe and self described "technologically stupid". She has been using a baby smartphone running on Android for 21/2 years but was never happy with it largely because she couldn't figure out a lot of the functions. It finally blew up so off to the Straight Talk store #in Wal-Mart#. She fell in love with the IDEA of this phone immediately. She is a Windows 8 user and had found it pretty easy to learn so thought this phone might be a good way to go. She loves it! She was using virtually every app the first day and has already progressed much further than I had ever thought she would. The phone is fast, beautiful images and every app #so far# is smooth, easy to use and looks slick and professional. My own next phone will be a Windows phone.
this phone is awesome, very easy to use and for the money well its worth the buy. how ever the service mat need some tweaking. you may need to get a replacement sim card.before purchasing you may want to check whether you have AT&T towers or T-mobile towers in you area. this phone come with a Sim that is only T-mobile compliant (no service in my area) but after trouble shooting this issue this a straight talk rep (took about an hour) we figure out that all i needed was an AT&T compliant sim. I received the new sim 6 days later in the mail and after a brief phone call to straight talk to configure the new sim card to my phone i now has service in my area.
I purchase this phone in Dec as a gift for myself. It broke late June and since I had a warranty I called to check to replace the phone. I ask the rep do I get a used one, my repair one or a new one. "Oh yes you will get a new phone". When I got the box to ship my phone to them I call back and told the rep that I worry about sending my phone and not sure what I will get back. Again I ask do I get my back repair or a new one. AGAIN "Oh you will get a new phone". So yesterday in the mail I got the phone and it was a rebuilt one. I called and told by several reps said its not in the notes that I would get a new phone. I ask are you saying I got to suck it up and take this phone. Rep said "yes you do". I told the reps the calls was on their recorded line what I was told. Every time I was being transfer to a supv they disconnect the call. So $200 of my money is gone. BTW I also paid for their $20 replacement plan on their site and that didn't help me.
When this phone first came out, I was super excited that Straight Talk was finally offering a Windows phone. The only thing that bothered me about it was that the phone was a brand I wasn't familiar with (Huawei).
I finally decided to try it a couple of days ago, however, and so far I'm a happy customer. A couple of things I don't like about the phone are: -The camera is not built into the phone like it is on, say, an iPhone. The lens sticks out a teeny bit so when you set your phone down on it's back, it's resting on the camera lens. This might not be a big deal for other people but I'm a photographer so my lens are treated with extra special care. -The back cover for the phone is super flimsy and hard to take off. I feel like it would be easy to snap it right in half if you weren't careful in removing it. Luckily, I haven't had any reason to take it on and off other than for the initial set up of the phone. -There are practically NO cases for this phone. I've found a sturdier one on Amazon (a boring black and blue for color), a couple of hard back covers that really don't protect the phone, and that's it. If you're a clutz like me and have an issue with dropping your phone, then beware! :P
I'm sure the lack of cases is due to the fact that this phone is pretty new and a not yet popular brand as well. Other than that, this seems like a pretty decent phone. It's super fast when connected to WiFi, call quality is decent, the keyboard is pretty quick, music quality is excellent (sounds like my iPod), data seems to work pretty well, battery life is good... Overall, it's a pretty decent phone for a prepaid. I think it's one I'll be keeping unless I run in to problems within the next few days.
This phone is fast and furious. The Windows 8 interface is streamlined and the apps fly with the 1.2 GHz dual-core processor. Web browsing is a bit slow, even when using a fast WiFi connection. The phone got stuck a few times and I had to remove the battery to restart it, which is not something you want to do because of the phone's flimsy back cover. The last straw occurred when the battery was showing 0% after being plugged in all night. Removing the battery yet again solved the problem temporarily as the battery showed 100% again. The phone looks and feels good, but is too buggy for me to recommend it to anyone. Needless to say, I returned mine two days after I purchased it.
Somewhat dificult to set up, afterwards great! Not a big fan of the App selection. Phone is quick, thin and has a nice feel.
I purchased this phone Dec. 26. I returned it this morning. The phone kept freezing up. I kept getting a message across the screen that said "resuming". Resuming what, i have no idea because I could not exit from this no matter what I tried. I could not turn the phone off. After 5 minutes of "resuming" the phone turned itself off and I was unable to turn it back on. I took the battery out and waited a few minutes, put it back in, and it started back up. Taking the battery out was the only way out of this "resuming" lockup. This happened way too many times. For $200, I should have a phone that I can use when I need it, and not worry about this "resuming" situation. I could not even make an emergency call if i needed to. The service kept going out too frequently. And that vibration every time you went to access something became quite annoying. But the lock up problem was horrible. I would not buy again and would not recommend to anyone.
I just got this phone last month and I am loving everything about it! It is really a magnificent phone and it is highly recommended. I am looking for the perfect case now.
I've had this phone for a week now, and I'm impressed. Before this phone I had a Huawei Ascend Plus, but it got wet at the river and the 2-Year product replacement plan came in handy! The replacement plan covered most of this phone and I spent the extra 20 bucks on this phone AND got the insurance for it as well (which I highly recommend; totally worth it). I was weary of switching to windows phone, but I figured I would give it a shot. This phone can do anything an android can do, and it does it faster. I haven't had any problems with the phone freezing or running slow at all. Unlike android, the background processes are kept to a minimum...automatically. As soon as you close an app, its closed and doesn't continue to run in the background (with the exception of apps like Facebook). Now for the reasons I only gave it 4 stars: First of all, this phone runs off AT&T towers, which works out okay for me, but might not for others. If this phone ran off of Verizon towers I would most likely have given it 5 stars. Secondly, the windows app store is still pretty new so there are less choices as far as apps go. I had to download Facebook (didn't come pre-installed) but that's no big deal. I also had to download youtube. But all the other apps like vine, instagram, pintrest, google maps, hulu, netflix, pandora, etc are still available and they work flawlessly. Lastly, theres fewer options to personalize the phone with Windows phone as opposed to Android. For instance, I can't set separate ringtones for my contacts. I haven't figured out how to download notification tones either (although Zedge is availiable on the app store). All-in-all this is a great phone. It's got a high-quality 5MP camera with flash (takes great pictures), and it has a front-facing VGA camera as well. It has a designated camera button, which was a big selling point for me (no more trying to line your finger up with the camera button when taking selfies!) I highly recommend this phone, even if you are weary of leaving android; give it a shot. Takes a while to get used to but it's worth it.
First off the phone is a great phone. it's fast, has enough room to store all kinds of stuff and the windows 8 interface is good, that is where it stops. I have been with straight talk for over 4 years, I have has this phone for 45 days and the phone itself is good but straight talk is for the birds. I have had NO mms since day one, have spoken to at least 10 people at straight talk and they say it is not on there end. from June 4th to July 4th I used 163 MB of data, when my phone service renewed on July 4th my internet would no longer work. called straight talk and after 37 minutes on the phone they sent me to a auto message saying i was using high amounts of data and the phone system hung up on me....REALLY. the phone now has a purple line going up the middle of the screen and even after restoring it the line is still there. I have called straight talk more then once about this phone and have tried to get them to either replace the phone or refund my money, all they do is keep side stepping it and try to fix my phone through the system. called AT&T for which the phone runs on through straight talk and they were totally lost as to why it will not send or receive pictures via text. ask a straight talk rep for the internet apn and the mms apn's are like trying to milk a bull, they will not give you them you have to google the heck out of the internet to try and find them. Is the phone a good phone....YES is the service that comes along with it.... NO. I am calling them once again today to try and get my money back and I will NOT be buying another straight talk phone.
Like every other phone there are good and bad things about this phone. This phone is an average touch screen phone but to me there are more of the bad than the good. I'll start out with the good things of this phone. When connected to wifi this phone works pretty fast depending on your wifi connection. The battery life is also good depending on how much you charge it or use it. The camera is also pretty good but sometimes the pictures you take are yellowish orange. The bad things about this phone is that in order to see your battery life while you use the phone, you have to download the app for it which is kind of weird, the phone will also just shut down when it is on low battery and wont turn on until you charge it and its fully charge. The gbs for this phone are also very little so if your planning onto download games and apps i highly recommend you to buy a micro sd card. What annoys me a lot about this phone is that when it dies or you run out of battery and turn it back on, you have to keep resetting your date and time even though you have it on automatic. its not like an iphone or other phones where you just turn it on and it will give you the right time. for this phone you'll have to keep changing it and resetting it. If these bad things about this phone dont matter to you or its ok i highly recommend this phone but if it does matter to you highly recommend you to not get it .
After 20 years with Verizon and Sprint, I decided to go with a no contract phone. A friend has a Windows 8 phone and I liked it enough to go with one. I'm 58 years old, and in the music industry. I have no need to download music or videos, so the storage is fine. It easily syncs with my laptop and desktop computers. It's fairly intuitive to use. 4G works great. My only complaint is that it's a little "touchy." But, my last phone was a Motorola Droid, so this might just be a matter of me having to get used to it. Photo quality is good (better than the old Droid), but nowhere near iPhone standards. Call quality is very good. Graphics are good, but again, not up to iPhone quality. The only downsides have nothing to do with the phone itself. Straight Talk, like all prepaid providers, does not offer or provide off network roaming. There are quite a few dead spots. This may eventually be a deal breaker for me. Also, if you're addicted to Words With Friends like I am, Zynga's Windows 8 app is useless. Don't bother. Summery: Well built, easy to use phone. Windows 8 platform is as good or better than Android. Lack of off network roaming is the big downside and that has nothing to do with the phone.
So, I got this phone months ago. From the get go, I noticed that the internet would go out in certain spots. I thought nothing of it, since I wanted this phone so much. After going down to Southern California, I noticed that it didn't work right there either. It didn't work in Denver either. So, after procrastinating calling Straight Talk, I did. I was on hold for half an hour to be told that "the area you are in is weak. Try other areas. Goodbye". I have called them multiple times, and each time I am told to deal with a horrible connection. All together, the phone works really good. I like the set up, but I wish there was more apps on the Store. So, the phone is great, but the service is horrible.
This is my first Windows phone and I was surprised how easy it was to learn after years of working with Android. The applications and web browser both run super fast and it's easy to navigate. The only downside is the storage, but it's more than enough to download the essential apps. Also, I haven't had any problems using this phone with Straight Talk. I was able to port my number right away and the reception is great. I tried sending a picture message right away because some of the other users reported that it wouldn't work, but it went right through. Overall I am very happy with this phone!
i gotta say this phone out perform my iphone 4 they say the brand is in the low side but boy i am happy i got it it is super fast quality is great camera is better than my old iphone 4 the live tiles are amazing and i get 4g in my area windows phone is way better than the iphone and android HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE PRICE YOU ARE GETTING ALOT OF PHONE FOR A REASONABLE PRICE

Respond to Review of Soul Vegetarian
by Kogwheal
Review: Soul Veg is AMAZING. Heavy, hearty, honest-to-God soul food, very reasonably priced, and all vegan except for honey, which is used in some items. They serve the best soy-based ice cream I've ever had, and their mint chocolate chip "milk" shake is fantastic. I could list my favorite meals, but that would just be a list of the whole menu, so I'll show some restraint here and just say that I dream at night of their collard greens. The owners and staff are great people, always friendly. Now that they have indoor seating, I go here at least once a week, often more. Check it out.

Now Playing
Are Afghanistan's Schools Doing As Well As Touted?
Under the Taliban, 1 million Afghan boys and very few girls went to school. Now, 10 million students are enrolled, 40 percent of them female. But on any given day, a much smaller number actually shows up for class. What's more, there are shortages of classrooms, books and qualified teachers.

It doesn't make you a better person because you endured the indignity and trauma of it.
It truly breaks my heart to think of the pain, injustice, and indignity that you suffered.
There seemed to me two cruelties: the indignity of segregation, and the shame our demonstrations inflicted on my friends.
That her fellow investors have to hear this trash pales in comparison to the indignity her husband of 37 years must be enduring.
First, however, he had to get past the indignity of his introduction by Today's Ann Curry.
Lady Rookwood's rage and vexation at this indignity were beyond all bounds.
He was trying hard not to cry, not from pain, but from the indignity he had suffered.
He walked out of the town with his anger and resentment still hot in his heart at the indignity of the whole affair.
I was subjected to the indignity of questioning by many men.
An indignity like this, which can not be resented, is one which the young mind feels always most anxious to resent.
1580s, "unworthiness," also "unworthy treatment; act intended to expose someone to contempt," from Latin indignitatem (nominative indignitas) "unworthiness, meanness, baseness," also "unworthy conduct, an outrage," noun of quality from indignus "unworthy" (see indignation). Related: Indignities.

I lost my mother almost 8 months ago to cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). I was hoping to find someone to talk to here. Today has just been awful. It hurts, and I miss her. It seems like there's no "normal" anymore ... like we're all waiting for something. Waiting for things to get back to normal, I guess. Its still so hard to really believe that she's not coming back. She's not on vacation...she's not at work...she's not coming down the hallway or standing in the kitchen - not ever. It still just doesn't seem real...
Mar 30, 2004 - 10:19 pm
First let me say how sorry I am for your loss. I can really understand how you are feeling. I lost my mother to head and neck cancer this past July, my father the September before that (not to cancer) and my husband to cancer this past Christmas. It is very hard to deal with for a while, but it does get better. At first every day is almost impossible to get through and then you will have a few good days before another bad one. Know that you can still talk to her and she is still with you, just not in the usual way. I still have conversations with my mom and my husband. As for things getting back to normal, what is that? I am not so sure I remember that anymore, it has been so long since I had normalcy in my life. But, I can assure you the pain does start to dull down somewhat, I dont know if it ever goes entirely away, probably not as long as we have our memories, but that is what makes us who we are. Keep strong and cherish the memories you have. Remember, she will always be with you and there is nothing wrong with that. Cry if you have to, laugh when you need to and be angry when you feel the need to be.

I am sorry about your loss. After my wife passed away from cancer two years ago, I felt drained and empty, thinking about her all of the time, knowing that she was gone was terrible. At the same time though, I realized how the cancer took so much of her, there was little of the real Deb left when she died. She was in terrible pain most of the time she wasn't medicated and she lost so much weight she looked 100 years old, not 45. I still cried for days after she died but I realize that her trial is over and she is now happy. I "talk" to her often and I feel she is still a part of my life. I am sure your mom is still nearby and loving you.
Mar 01, 2008 - 5:24 pm
I just found this website a few minutes ago, I lost my dad 2/6/08 will b 4 weeks next Wednesday...I cant get him out of my head.....I just picture him in his hospital bed looking so scared and so worried about dying..and there I was telling him he wasnt..and I really believed somehow he was going to make it ???? He was diagnosed with Lung cancer 12/05....then found out 10/07 spread to the other lung and wasnt healthy for anymore chemo....he was only 66, ended up on 24/7 oxygen and a walker with wheels that bothered him so.....he would say "i cant believe this happened to me" I would say "but dad you knew the smoking would do this your doctor told you all the time to stop" he got so depressed that he never stopped smoking even with the oxygen..he I guess felt whats the difference now??? I miss him so and wake up during the night wake up in morning and throught out the day and before i go to bed thinking of him and just remembering his face and hs big blue eyes so scared....I luv him and cant call him anymore which is sooo hard when I used to talk 2 him 2-3x a day.......he ended up with spinal cancer at the end and liver...it just went everywhere and the pain he was in was so unbearable.....that was so hard seeing.....finaly when he went on the dyloted drip I knew this was it......he went on the drip 2/3/08 and died 2/6/08......I think I was in denial because this seems like a shock even though I knew how sick he was.......
Apr 16, 2004 - 1:21 pm
I'm so sorry that you're going through this too. I lost my Mom on January 7th, 2004 to ovarian cancer. You're right, "there isn't anything normal" anymore. I was in a fog for the last three months. This past week has been tough. I can't stop crying and my stomach feels like there's a whole in it. My life was complete knowing that I could call her anytime/anywhere. Now, everything is different. I'm only 28 and I'm an only child. My friends try to console me, but honestly they don't understand. I truly believe that the people on this website are the only ones that can relate. It's truly unfortunate that we're in this category. People keep saying "God only gives you what you can handle". Well, I can't handle this too well. I hope you find strength to go on in the next chapter of your life. I don't have any suggestions, because I'm looking for the answers myself. Please take care :)

Hi Jessalyn,
I do not know anyone else who has gone through this particular cancer, and my experience with mom was traumatic, awful and a nightmare (not to mention her experience).
I also worked with her in our family business. Also, she was too young. Finally, My dad was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma a year before my mom's diagnosis, so mom and I prepared for his death. Then suddenly, someone else had other plans....
He is still stage 4 but status quo, and in the meantime I think I'm going crazy now because although the acute grief has subsided, my deep sadness has led me to seek out things that are not healthy for me.
I hope you get this email (I see your post was on 3/20), and maybe we (and others in the group) can find a healthy, courageous way to deal with this.
Thank you for your (and the group's) straightforwardness.
May 19, 2004 - 10:25 pm
Hi, I am new. I came here looking for a release and I would like to talk to you about my Mom who I lost March 25, 2004. Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer in July 2003 and started taking chemo in September. It metasized throughout even to the brain. I was her main caregiver also the one who lived with her. After my Dad died in 1976 Mom and I stayed together taking care of each other. Losing my Mom has been the most horrible experience I have ever gone through. I was young when my Dad died, that hurt but not like losing Mom. A part of me died that morning also and I am greiving and hurting so much. Some days I think I just cannot make it. Mom was my best friend and confidant and I miss her so much. I miss her smile, I miss her laugh, I miss her sage advice, I miss just sitting watching T.V. with her or sitting on the front porch drinking a cup of coffee. The lonliness and emptyness in my house is lonely in itself. Being happy again and normal seems so far away and impossible but I know Mom would want me to go on and try to be so I will. I pray God gives me the courage and strength to do it.

I just joined the chat room so bear with me. My step-father was just diagnosed with bile duct cancer about a month ago. He had the triple by-pass surgery, you know the small intestine re0route etc. He is doing just ok now. He has lost sooo much weight and hardly has any energy. He was just admitte dintot he hospital agin..he was complaining of pain in a couple parts of his back. They are int he process of doing a bone scan to see if the cancer has spread as I am here typing. I am at sucha a loss and justreally needed someone other thatn my mom to chat with. Questions also like..is weightloss normal, what is the next step....
thanks :-)
Jul 16, 2012 - 7:59 pm
Hi There,
I am currently 2 months in from dad getting diagnosed, and at times things feel slow, and at times things feel too fast. Can you contact me so that I can talk about what to expect? When I googled "losing a parent to cancer" your entry was the first that popped up, and even more uncanny was that your entry highlighted the same cancer that my dad has. They told me that only 1 in 1000 get this kind of cancer. My own (normally) healthy body is reacting so strangely in relation to what's going on. I appreciate your time and attention.

A week ago I lost my dearest father to cancer. The idea that I can not see him,hug him, kiss him and tell him I love him anymore is unbearable. To me it feels like the end of the world. I used to support friends who lost a parent but I never expected it to be that hard. I feel that I am lost, angry, helpless and sometimes the idea that he is gone just doesnt sink in. I feel the shock and sadness all over again. People keep telling me that with time the pain will dull down but I am not sure. I know for a fact that he is now free from pain and suffering but now I am the one who is suffering. I pray to god that I have the strength to adapt and keep moving in my life because this is what he would have wanted. But for now I am heartbroken.

I just lost my mother to the same illness. She died 2 weeks ago. How did you cope? I feel really angry with my family, they went through her things like vultures not even days after funeral... It all felt extremely inhuman... Stressful and sad tme of life.

My sister's car a 2006 Hyundai had substantial damage to the driver's side front and rear passenger door and lower panel when she was struck by another vehicle in an accident which occurred on 01/02/15. In checking your website Repair Pal the name of Bennett Auto Rebuilders came up as one of the approved by State Farm my sister's auto insurance carrier. In addition the auto dealership Happy Hyundai where my sister has her vehicle serviced highly recommended Bennett's based on these criteria my sister and I decided to pay a visit to the Bennett Auto Rebuilders facilities. It is a family run business and even have a life time warranty we spoke with Al the owner and asked he look at my sisters car and provide us with an evaluation on cost of repair and time period for the repair
which he did both of which were reasonable and acceptable and my sister agreed to have her vehicle done here. The conclusion to this is the vehicle was repaired in the time frame and the finish work on the vehicle was excellent you could not ever tell the vehicle was involved in any accident. I would highly recommend this shop to all my friends and anyone looking for high quality workmanship satisfaction guarantee

Through consistent and excellent treatment and education on skincare, Robin Tritto took years off of my face for one of the most important days of my life, Mother of the Bride. Robin is extremely knowledgeable about her profession therefore providing the very best results, and lasting, onecould want.
Dear Nina...Thank You for Your Beautiful Testimonial...As You Know I Work With My Expertise But Also With My Heart...I Love Working with You And You've Always Made My Work Feel So Worthwhile...Once Again Nina...Thank You...Robin
I've always had problem skin, so as soon as I got engaged I began searching for an Aesthetician so I could get my skincare on a proper regimen. As soon as I found Robin, she made sure to get me into her office right away for an assessment and a treatment, and my skin has been amazing ever since. I not only survived my wedding blemish free, I've had wonderful skin ever since, and often receive compliments as to how clear and young my skin looks. Robin is so dedicated and enthusiastic about her work, she has been a pleasure to work with. And her products are absolutely amazing! I trust Robin with whatever recommendations she may make for me, and I highly recommend her to everyone.
I have used Robyn's professional services for Laser Hair Removal on my entire face. The price was reasonable and I went for 6 treatments and it removed and reduced my facial hair significantly! It was painless and extremely quick procedure. My face is smooth without hair! I had stubborn dark hair and it's gone! I appreciate all Robyn's efforts and professionalism - she has the best laser with the latest technology. It's the best!
I went Robin before my wedding because I had terrible stress related acne as well as scarring. She designed and effective regimin and made health suggestions that got rid of all of my blemishes. I went to her with one month left before my wedding because I was worried about the wedding pictures. I would have to look at them for the rest of my life. I was thrilled with the results. Robin was a life saver. After following her instructions, I had clear skin. I was so happy with the results, I would not hesitate to recomend Robin to anyone who is planning a wedding and is worried about their skin.
Thank You Robin
My skin and makeup by Robin made me the most beautiful blushing bride! Thank you Robin, for your professionalism and amazing skincare and makeup for my wedding. I was thrilled with your work and felt so beautiful on my special day!
My son recently married and as the mother of the groom I needed to look my best. In stepped Robin and what a wonderful transformation! After having a relaxing facial (much needed!) Robin introduced me to my own (formulated) foundation, wonderful moisturizer, and a lifesaving concealer. I will continue using these products along with others she has recommended. I always look forward to Robin's professional and caring advice. The day of the wedding...I couldn't believe how many compliments I received.....Thanks Robin you have a client for life!
Robin is not only a beautiful woman; she is also a great professional.
I got engaged in 2006. As any other girl I was dreaming of beautiful wedding, gorgeous white dress, and awesome pictures… but there was a problem: acne and scars. I had had this problem for years. I had tried a lot of things including accutane, which helped greatly, but did not cure me completely. And then I learned of Robin Tritto from one of my co-workers. This changed everything. Her treatments were miraculous; it was exactly what my skin needed. I had my dream come true: beautiful wedding, gorgeous white dress, and awesome pictures!
p.s. It's 2010 and I still use all the products Robin recommended. I went through pregnancy and breastfeeding and my face is still beautiful and acne free!
Thank you, Robin!

Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow.Oliver Wendell Holmes

What the horrors of war are, no one can imagine. They are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine. They are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralization and disorder on the part of the inferior... jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.Florence Nightingale

"Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty." Coco Chanel
A laugh-line here, a pouch or a sag there. Is your body mirroring your true age or is it making you seem older than you are? At 40, I caught myself a couple of times examining my reflection more than thoroughly. Is this really me?
Our aging begins when the normal process of cell regeneration and rebuilding slows. This slowdown is caused by the accumulation of waste products in the tissues which interfere with the nourishment of our cells. Because our cells need a constant supply of oxygen and nourishment in the form of minerals and vitamins, we are directly responsible for how we age.
Some of the reasons why cell regeneration can slow down:
If your cells are deprived of nourishment they require, they will start to degenerate and break down. Only healthy and vital cells can successfully replace and rebuild healthy cells. Therefore, if the normal process is diminished, you start to grow old faster and earlier. Even our resistance to diseases will decline and you'll get sick more often.
There are many components of aging but nutrition, smoking, alcohol and pollutants are the main contributors.
Let's focus on nutrition; after all, nutrition is my specialty.
Most importantly, focus on efficient elimination! A sluggish metabolism and constipation can and will result in inefficient elimination. You don't need a vivid imagination to know what kind of mess a backed-up pipe leaves behind. Retention and accumulation of toxic wastes in the tissues will interfere with cell nourishment, which causes disease and premature aging.
Not only is it important to nourish cells for healthy regeneration, but it's vital to eliminate dead and sick cells as quickly as possible.
Try this; just go on a three-day fruit-only diet, you will discover that this waste material is a fact. Citrus fruits, as all fruits, are phenomenal mucus expectorants. Your tongue will clearly mirror the appearance of the inside of your body - bad breath will be unbearable, your tongue will be thoroughly coated and you will start to purge mucus. Evidently, toxins and waste is made clearly visible by detoxification. At this point, health through detoxification isn't a myth anymore, it's a reality you can see and feel. You could use some of these delicious citrus recipes below.
Minty Citrus Juice
1 orange, NO PEEL!
1/2 lemon, with peel, organic
1 Apple
1/3 bunch of Mint
Process through the Juicer and discard pulp! (not blender)
Sweet Grapefruit Juice
1 Grapefruit, peeled
2 Oranges, peeled
Process through the Juicer and discard pulp OR use a Citrus Juicer! (not blender)
Citrus Smoothie
Place all ingredients into the Vitamix/Blender container and secure the lid
Turn machine on and slowly increase speed
Blend for 1 minute or until desired consistency is reached
Did you know that your body can't get to the nutrients from vegetables and fruits because it's encased in fiber? Some 90% of the nutrients in produce we eat are eliminated with the vegetable fiber as it passes through the body. The most valuable things in life - like the vital part of fruits and vegetables are the most difficult to reach because they are deep within the fibers. The reason juicing is imperative to our health is because the juicer is separating the fiber from the juice; making the vitamins and minerals easily available to our body; where they can be used entirely in the nourishment and regeneration of the cells, tissues, glands and organs of our body. Our digestive system can absorb juice within minutes without weighing down the gastrointestinal tract.
If you suffer from a toxic and sick GI (gastrointestinal) tract, which most adults do, very little of the nutrients you're eating gets absorbed in the small intestine. By completely eliminating the fiber and making the vitamins, minerals and enzymes readily accessible to your body through juicing, you're getting the most out of fruits and vegetables.
Fruits in sufficient variety will provide you with all the carbohydrates and sugar that your body needs. Lemon juice and fruit acids of all kinds neutralize the stickiness of mucus and pus. Vegetable juices are the builders and regenerators of the body. They contain all the amino acids, minerals, salts, enzymes, and vitamins needed by the human body; provided that you use fresh, raw juices without preservatives. You see, juice fasting cleanses the body while supplying a dramatic increase in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Vegetable and fruit juices are a living fuel that doesn't require digestive energy from the body; allowing the body's entire focus to be on healing, detoxification, and rejuvenation. As toxic our bodies are, it would be unsafe to Water Fast because water fasting dumps too many toxins and waste-matter into our circulation.
And this is where Juice Fasting comes in, because juice fasting is a modern, safe, and effective detoxification method.
Above all, raw juices are packed with vitamins, minerals, living enzymes, antioxidants, phytochemicals; yet low enough in calories to force the body to cannibalize (eat up) its own waste, propelling you to vigorous physical health and clarity of mind.
Now go, make a juice, and look fabulous.

Let's start with the bad excuse for a cleanse. The infamous Liquid Diet. You might immediately think of SlimFast. Gosh I hat that crap!
It makes my job as a Nutrition Specialist and Fasting Coach so much harder. You should understand one thing... SlimFast was such an evil product. It's manufactured, it's low quality, loaded with animal protein, and unnatural vitamins and minerals your body can do without.
Not only was it a disgrace of a meal, it also had the word FAST in it. Why? why did they have to do that? So frustrating. Drinking animal slush that is laced with chemicals, artificial coloring, and artificial flavors, isn't meant to FAST with or even safe for consumption!
Fasting is a temporary abstinence from solid foods and also addictive substances like alcohol, coffee, and drugs. This is for therapeutic or even for religious purposes. Not only that, Fasting will support your body by resting the digestive system and relieving pressure on your circulation. As soon as you put solid food into your stomach, you will stop fasting and cleansing. Fasting doesn't work if you cheat by sneaking bites of food here and there.
When you fall asleep, your body switches from an EXTERNAL FUEL (eating) to INTERNAL FUEL (fasting). Specifically, internal fuel is when your body is using carbohydrate reserves and fat depots for fuel. I know it sounds crazy, but your body does that automatically every night. During deep sleep, the body takes everything it needs from within and uses internal energy to cleanse and detoxify the system! By the way, Halitosis (bad breath) and a coated tongue in the morning are signs of detox. For that reason, a coated tongue is a sign of toxicity and therefore a perfect candidate for a fast. Just saying.
To explain, the word "break-fast" comes from Old English and means - BREAKING THE FAST! You are literally breaking your nightly fast with the first bite of muffin or bagel (which seems to be the staple in western countries).
Therefore, fasting is a natural part of your life.
NO SOLID FOODS. NO MANUFACTURER FOOD PRODUCTS. AND FOR SURE NO SLIMFAST OR MILKS OF ANY KIND during a Fast! Just fresh juice, water, and tea during a JUICE FAST.
NEVER incorporate fiber supplements and or protein powder in any form with your fast. Specially never eat, drink whey protein, which is a waste product from the cheese industry. It's mucus forming, toxic to the system and specially to the kidneys. It's very acidic. Many people have gotten very sick and also have died adding protein (whey) to fasts, even in "wanna be"-fasting clinics, where they had absolutely no idea what the heck they were doing!
Fasting is a time of cleansing and detoxification, therefore, putting waste material in any form into your body will over tax the system and create toxins. During a fast, waste, protein, toxins and heavy metals are pulled into the bloodstream, which already creates a huge burden on the liver, kidney and the intestine. I repeat, please don't take fiber or protein supplement in any form during a fast.
Through my experience with fasting, I have come to the conclusion that eating is the supply of minerals, vitamins, enzymes and fluids. It's the chemical elements IN THE FOOD our bodies seek – not the energy (calories) OF FOOD.
Probably the biggest of all objections to fasting by most is that the "faster" would become so weak without food, that he would be completely useless. Please understand that the idea that, "we must eat to keep our strength up" is the biggest nonsense ever published.
The LOW ENERGY during the FAST is a SYMPTOM of DETOXIFICATION, NOT a sign of HUNGER!
"Weakness is due to disease, not to lack of food. As the body is cleansed, so does strength return. Rid the body of toxins – the true cause of disease – and energy will flow freely through the body, revitalizing it and imparting to it a sense of added vitality. – "Fasting for Health and Long Life" – Hereward Carrington
Blended Drink (Smoothie) is NO JUICE!
There aren't many topics upsetting me more than people refereeing to smoothies as JUICE. NO, NO, NO! Smoothies are blended drinks, not juices. Juice is extracted from fruits and vegetables in a JUICER! If you're not using a juicer and end up with pulp and juice in two different containers, you're not juicing! Period.
See, this is what happens out there in the world wide web. People have no idea what the heck they're doing or talking about and ending up confusing the crap out of everybody. sigh...
One more time. Smoothies are made in Blenders. A blender doesn't remove anything from fruits, vegetables and supplements added. Therefore, smoothies can't be used for JUICE FASTS! Juice needs to be fresh, alive, free of pulp, and extracted with the help of a Juicer!
Gosh I hope this will clear up ALL the CONFUSIONS on JUICES and SMOOTHIES out there.

Tell me this, when was the last time you saw a worm in your apple that was bought in the supermarket? You probably can't recall, as it was a very long time ago or never.
The reason why you can't find little critters munching away in your produce isn't hard to guess. Your supermarket only sells the most appealing produce to you. To keep the fruits and vegetables unblemished, farmers douse them with pesticides. So if you buy them in any developed country, you end up eating a lot of pesticides.
Just how big is the danger you ask?
Approximately five billion pounds of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other biocides are being added to the world each year. Remembering that hormones are secreted and act in very minute quantities, you will appreciate the fact that we have enough contaminants to ruin our health many times over.
The New Dirty Dozen warn consumers of the highest pesticide offenders. Apples consistently rank at the top of the list. Some more than 45 different pesticides have been detected on the fruit of sin. Don't be surprised to find a cocktail of pesticides in apples juice, apples sauce and all apple products if not organic.
The New Dirty Dozen List:
If you can't afford to buy all these fruits and vegetables organic, don't despair! Buy some of these clean and safe foods that rank typically low in pesticide residue.
Clean 16!
By now you're wondering what YOU can do about pesticides on produce and if there is a natural way of removing pesticides from produce to protect your family? The answer is YES. You can buy all your produce organic and eliminate most of the chemicals. But what if you're on a budget like most of us. What if you can't afford organic fruits and vegetables?
You can use natural home made veggie wash, which is inexpensive and real simple to prepare.
Are you also wondering why there's wax on fruits and vegetables?
It's quite simple, wax retains water in fruits and vegetables in the same way that moisturizers do to the skin. Wax on fruits and vegetables protects against bruising, mold growth, and extends the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Distributors like to wax the fruits and vegetables because it protects their products. Supermarkets like waxes because the high shine from the wax makes the fruits and vegetables look attractive and fresh.
One type of wax is carnauba, from the leaves of palm trees. The manufacturer's claim this product has "a superior natural wax emulsion with a high gloss, long shelf life and superior drying characteristics." Isn't this something my car detailer would say?
Due to its high melting temperature, the wax can't be washed off. What you CAN do is to wash these products in the veggie wash and peel.
The non-organic fruits and vegetables that are commonly waxed include:
But wait, there's more! Juicing can remove Pesticides!
This is where juicing comes in. - N. Walker, the inventor and "father" of the juicer said that in his experiments he has found toxins are retained in the fibers of the vegetables and are not present in the fiber-free juices.
Blending and mixing fruits and vegetables with a blender or a mixer, like the Nutri Bullet or Vitamix, will not remove the fiber from fruits and vegetables. Juicing produce can only be achieved by extracting the juice from its fiber with a Juicer! Some of the everyday juicers I recommend for affordability, juice quality and simplicity, I've listed below.
How do I remove the toxins and pesticides I've already consumed from my system?
Our toxicity comes from the foods we eat, the air we breathe, the chemicals we use on our skin, household products we clean with and building materials we use, but this list is almost never ending. Just think about the processed foods we buy these days, they are acidic, mucus forming, energy-robbing and protein-toxic products.
Accumulations of these toxins will clog up your system with mucus and waste-matter. This toxicity and mucus are stored in all tissues of our body, but mostly in sinuses, lungs, liver, the skin, the kidneys and they thyroid. Have you ever thought about the amount of mucus that comes out of your sinuses during a cold?
Many diseases like colds and natural detoxification processes that manifest themselves as "diseases" are an effort of your body to purge the accumulated toxins and mucus from the system.

How often do you eat for comfort or overindulge?
When you feel sad? After you had an altercation with your spouse? You have to be particularly careful; this tends to lead to food addiction remarkably quickly. After eating, you will feel worse than before. Please don't try to numb your feelings with food; it never works. Realizing you just ate a box of cookies will also lead to resentment and anger. Taking a walk to clear your mind or simply having an open discussion will make more sense and does not harm your body.
When you feel stressed out? The junk we eat when we feel stressed out does pack a punch! Some of the foods we choose are often sugar, fat, and flour. Something that will help with stress situations is to say: STOP! Breathe for a couple of minutes and take a break from life. I used to give myself a time out. Taking a couple of minutes to yourself and listening to relaxing music can make you feel better. My number one tip on dealing with stress is cleaning. Start cleaning your house! You see, frustration and stress just seem to melt away. A nice cup of hot herbal tea and exercise is truly a healthy solution to managing stress.
When you go out for dinner with friends? The best approach is to take your time. Don't try to eat everybody under the table; it's not a smart idea trying to keep up with your husband or other people, period. Take your time with eating, put the fork and knife down once in a while and chew thoroughly. You already know this fact I'm about to tell you, but I will say it anyway, (just try to stop me!) So here it goes, eat slower so you can eat less! In other words, your brain needs about 20 minutes to register fullness and satisfaction. It's not your brains fault that you can empty a box of cookies in as little as 5 minutes. If fattening and toxic foods are your choice of "drug", at least eat slowly to consume less of it. On bad days, I could inhale a family-size bag of chips without thinking about the consequences (and the consequences always come, don't they?).
However, eating steamed or raw means eating fewer calories and more nutrients because raw food takes a whole lot of time to chew. I'm not kidding, have you tried to take a bite of an apple and swallow it without chewing? Impossible! Fresh produce contains colon-friendly fiber and waste-clearing water for a remarkably low calories count, which our system loves.
When you're bored? While watching TV? Ask yourself, is it hunger or is it a void you are trying to fill. Personally, I ate when I missed my father. My father was a hard worker, and he was rarely home. The memorable times we spent together were around food and food shopping. Is it surprising I turned to comfort foods when I miss my father?
Eating should be done consciously and never while doing something else. Boredom is a significant problem in western countries; people have too much time on their hands. Get a hobby, go work out, read one of my e-Books, paint or bake with the kids (gluten-free of course). Just don't sit down and eat while watching some depressing talk show. Watching negative TV can make you depressed and eat more! Who do you think came up with this money-making idea? You guessed it, the food industry!
When you feel lazy and dispirited? It's a misconception to think that a chocolate will make you alert or give you energy; in fact, the high sugar content of chocolate will send you on a blood sugar rollercoaster. It's a never ending circle of sugar-highs and lows, which isn't beneficial if you want to lose weight. Stabilizing your blood sugar needs to be your main goal. Whole foods and the correct combination of them will give you perfect blood sugar levels for energy and weight loss.
Would you like to break the habit of overeating? What a question, of course you do! I'm proof that it can be done. I lived through it, and I ate through it!
How do we overcome overeating?
You know I can't speak for everybody, and I sure can't tell you which steps are right for you. However, I can tell you how I did it and how I overcame emotional eating and overeating.
I spent many hours by myself, crying, reading, listening to music, and just thinking. Reflecting on my past helped analyse the reasons for my overeating. Although I'm not going to bore you with my childhood, past, and psychological babble, I will tell you that this step is essential for healing!
For this purpose, I wrote down my feelings when I caught myself overeating. I made notes when I missed my dad and when I felt sad. This exercise will help pin point your reasons (triggers) for overindulging.
Overeaters Anonymous states: The Statement on Abstinence and Recovery is "Abstinence is the action of refraining from compulsive eating and compulsive food behaviors while working towards or maintaining a healthy body weight.
Once you figured out your trigger-emotions for eating/binging, you need to evaluate those feelings and try to solve them with help from family, friends or in my case books! You can find numerous eBooks on Amazon.com that can help you with your individual problem. Once you read the book that touches on your emotional self, you will know! It's like a lightbulb moment! This step took me many years, in the meantime, don't get discouraged and keep writing your feeling down.
During my process of emotional healing, I kept my eating habit as nutritious as possible. For instance, how much physical damage can you possible inflict by binging on fruits, nuts and crispy salads? That's right! Even tough I wasn't willing to give up emotional eating, I was ready for a change! So my next tip for healing is; eat healthier! Munch on whole foods like fruits, nuts, seeds, raw chocolate sauce covered bananas, raw cookies and lots of fresh salads.
Eventually, I broke my emotional overeating by taking control over food. Don't let food control you, you need to control food. In fact, there are many foods and food additives that prevent you from controlling food intake. One of these nasty suckers is MSG. Did you know that Food manufacturers and Fast Food joints put this chemical on everything!
Dr. Mercola wrote this about MSG on his blog. "Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer that's known widely as an addition to Chinese food, but that's actually added to thousands of the foods you and your family regularly eat, especially if you are like most Americans and eat the majority of your food as processed foods or in restaurants.
MSG is one of the worst food additives on the market and is used in canned soups, crackers, meats, salad dressings, frozen dinners and much more. It's found in your local supermarket and restaurants, in your child's school cafeteria and, amazingly, even in baby food and infant formula.
Dr. Mercola wrote this about MSG on his blog. "Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer that's known widely as an addition to Chinese food, but that's actually added to thousands of the foods you and your family regularly eat, especially if you are like most Americans and eat the majority of your food as processed foods or in restaurants.
MSG is more than just a seasoning like salt and pepper, it actually enhances the flavor of foods, making processed meats and frozen dinners taste fresher and smell better, salad dressings more tasty, and canned foods less tinny.
As a result of eating MSG or Nitrates, but mostly MSG, I get a extremely itchy nose, crave nasty junk food, can't fall asleep or have horrible nightmares. Read more about MSG on Dr. Mercola's blog, I find his advice on MSG truly enlightening.
Eventually, concentrate on cleaning your body of all the wast, toxins and chemicals you have accumulated over the years. Personally, I turned to Juice Fasting. Juice Fasting helped me take control over my eating habits and cleanse my body of addictive substances like food additives and chemicals. To find out about my 30 Day Juice Fast journey and everything that followed thereafter, read my story.
Fasting has nothing to do with anorexia. Fasting is a spiritual journey! Fasting helps you to take control over your eating habits and floods your system with much needed hydration, life juices, vitamins, and minerals! I truly believe that fasting healed me from within. Once you see the before and after, you will agree.
Following my cleanse I was ready to take on the world. I had super-charged energy, vitality and confidence. Most importantly, I felt content!
After your body rids itself of all the pus, congestion and toxins, it will ask to be "nourished" with real foods, whole foods. WARNING: You will crave Whole Foods!
Our system gets continually congested by sticky animal protein and waste materials while we overeat. As soon as we stop eating, the burden of incoming waste is relieved so cleansing can begin. (cue the zen bell here)
You will learn to say no! Saying no to your own body is hard but remember this: Even if cravings tell you that it would be terrific to have some pastry or chocolate, you have a brain to reason with yourself and deny the "request". Also, your taste buds will readjust during a fast. Salty foods will be unpalatable and you will sense chemicals on unwashed fruits and vegetables on the tip of your tongue. The best part is you'll be eating smaller portions after the fast. Your stomach is most likely stretched out from daily overeating, I know mine was. Fasting will shrink your stomach back to its original size. The stomach is like any other muscle. Muscles can and will tighten.
The only way fasting is dangerous or unhealthy is if you use fasting to lose weight only to gain it all back by binge-eating. Fasting should be used as a therapeutic solution for healing your body and your behavior. Use fasting as a detoxification and purification means so you can be on your way to a healthier lifestyle.
Remember to start with 1-Day Fasts, graduating to a 3-5 day fast and lastly venturing into a 7-14 day fast.
If you're overweight, you might consider fasting because an overweight body is an overtaxed body. Fasting is an excellent way to rid your body of excess waste and toxins. It's also the perfect solution to break a poor eating habit and start a new lifestyle. Fasting is YOUR reboot button.
And lastly, fasting should never be considered a quick fix method to weight loss, but it can catapult you into the right direction of what is possible.
Hopefully my story can help you with healing your emotional overeating.
