  1. Are you male or female? What age are you? Do you gain back the weight from overeating or from switching diets?
  2. Good advice from both posters. I was in a similar situation, so I know how you feel, but it all turned out good. Just keep doing what you ended your post with. The more contact you make, the more begging you do, and the more emotional you become over it, the worse it gets. You have to let her come to her own realizations of things. If she wants to come back then she will in her own time and in her own way. If not, then letting go will be easier for both of you if you keep a cool head. Good luck friend.
  3. I met my fiancee at 17, and she was a few years younger. I'm 19 now and she 17, engaged to be married in a year. I've broken probably every statutory age law, and frankly I could care less. I'm in love, and I'd love to see anyone try and stop me from feeling that. Nothing is more frustrating than people assuming you're ignorant because of your age, or your maturity is not up to par with someone older. My situation may differ from yours, but if you want this then take it. Don't jump on the hypocrisy bandwagon so fast. I've seen plenty of happy (now married) couples that started out the same way.
  4. I don't think it matters too much. If you work out right after you eat you might feel some indigestion, or get abdominal cramps from drinking fluids. Your body also slows down after a big meal, to digest food, so your kidneys and adrenal glands slow down. The last thing you want on a good run is to throw up all your food.
  5. I actually read that a vegan diet is very healthy, if you substitute protein, among other things, from meat with something else. I only take a crap every 4-5 days, and I eat alot. Healthy as a horse. Your post gave me a good laugh.
  6. I was rolling right along with that story until I read that you cheated too. you come accross to me as intelligent, honest and self-controlled. You guys are on equal grounds now. You both had your trust shattered. Nobody can tell you what to do, but I will share my opinion for what it's worth. I think you should let your wife do her thing for the weekend, and when she gets back sit her down and tell her what you wrote up there ^. Be completely honest, and ask her to be as well. Maybe there is a small chance to be able to work things out, even if it's just for the kid. Or maybe not. Either way you look at it, your marriage is going to really change. No one here can tell you what will happen. Whatever happens needs to be decided by both you and your wife.
  7. I would ask the doctor about using Ginkgo Biloba. I also had those problems, momentary memory loss, feeling out of it, etc. Came to find out it was my diet, and a lack of water. Biloba can be very dangerous if you take aspirin every day, or are a hemophiliac. It increases blood flow, and if you get cut you will bleed a lot more if you have those conditions. It's also dangerous if you take depression meds or you're pregnant. It's far from being FDA approved, and that certainly applies to Portugal as well, because they get this herb from the United States, where it is manufactured. Make sure to read the little labels.
  8. Agree with ocrob. I'm not an expert or anything. When I used to go to a gym, all the machines baffled me. All I found helpful were dumbbells, bench press, tricep pull, and a few leg machines. Since you cant go to a gym, maybe you could look for a bench press somewhere. I bought one a few years ago for around $100 and it was okay. Look for a workout that suits you on the internet. I don't think 5 pound dumbbell will help you much.
  9. I used to take it with a weight routine, and I noticed a little change after a month or two but not much. Since then I've taken a break and I want to try again, but shake up my routine a little. I want to focus on cardio, and some minimal resistance training (dumbbells, maybe bench press). I eat moderately healthy with vitamins every day, as well as a gallon of water. "How many times are you taking it a day? You're supposed to take 2x a day for week and then 1x a day afterward." When I used to use it (the powder form) I always took the suggested dosage. What you said sounds about right. I'm in good shape now, but want to add an inch atleast to my arms, and get a little more muscle tone. Don't have access to gym, though. Thanks for all the info! I'll check that site out.
  10. Anyone know if creatine is effective in a non-weight workout? I'm referring to running, pushups, crunches, pullups, jumprope, etc. and maybe basic weight resistance such as bicep/tricep curls with dumbbells. I don't have access to a gym and I'm not noticing any results with any workout I try. If anyone knows, thanks!
  11. This isn't a love poem, just interested to hear what people think.. I wrote it a few years ago and kind of lost interest in literature/poetry after that. I'm kind of debating whether toget back into it or not. Hero Firm impedance; let us in! The semblant seraphs roam again... Death, destruction rolling in! The list of heroes grows ever thin... “To arms! To arms!” the sentry cries! Abhorrence awaiting; courage dies... Defenses fall, the arrows fly! Shot by stringent, deadly eyes... Defenders perish; all are dead! But one remains, looking overhead... Clad in armor; filled with dread! He slowly rises and glares ahead... Descending steps; unsheathing his sword He looks accross the barren ford... Through crumbling walls emerges the Horde! Unwavering he ensues; on his own accord... Deep blackness falls; it fills the air. Eyes are seen; many a pair... Certain death he knows is there! The battle rages; he does not care... Faith decreed; the people freed Saved by a Hero in their time of need. In a pool of blood, the Hero lies Confronted by the townsmen’s eyes... Through their tears and rage and plain surprise The townsmen hear the Hero reply: “The stars are out my friends, Good Night.”
  12. My fiancee had a cyst on her left ovary the size of a lemon. She had it for a few weeks, then it disappeared. The docs said the surgery for it is very simple, hour long procedure.
  13. Trust me, he will feel how you feel. His lifestyle will take care of that for you. It might take time, but karma, fate, God, whatever you choose to believe in will balance things out. If you did what you described to him then you wouldn't be any better than he is and you would bring yourself down in the process, resulting in the same feelings you feel now.
  14. That's a bad situation to be in. First, I would be absolutely certain that she did cheat on you. If there was infidelity then your relationship is in serious trouble. Nothing that can't be fixed. If you do love her, then I suggest to not message her, but talk person to person. If she lies about it, then it's probably best to leave the relationship. If she admits it, and wants to seriously commit, then your situation can be fixed with a lot of hard work on both parts. She definitely needs to know how you feel before you can reach a solution, though. You sound like a good guy (devoted, ambitious, good future job, which you should definitely stick with). If she can't put forth the effort that you are putting into the relationship, then I would find someone who can. It's unfair to you to suffer for her mistakes. Absolutely not. Someone you care about cheated on you and you have that stewing inside of your head. I don't think there's anything wrong your remark. Hope everything goes well.
  15. The word abuse carries heavy connotations. I wouldn't immediately jump to that term for either of you. There are two sides to the story, and I'm sure there's some aggravating as well as mitigating factors about both of you that we can't read. I will say that I think he is neglecting you. Maybe he is bored, maybe the relationship got stale so he reverts back to exciting times with someone else. Who knows? You did hit him, but it is not a constant thing. Your anger with his comments reached a boling point and that was your release valve. If it's a one time thing, then there's definitely room for improvement in the relationship. It doesn't sound like he will change, but its unfair to say he never will. The fault to me sounds 50/50 and I think you two should sit down and talk and either agree to take a break or work things out. Best of luck!
  16. "I actually think I could seriously damage him. I have already damaged him mentally to the point now he is suffering with depression too." You have a major superiority complex, a serious medical condition that needs addressing, and you beat/abuse your boyfriend, as well as cutting yourself. Seven times in 3 months? And one time he slaps you to get you off of him. That, right there, is a GOOD man. Most men would pack their bags after the first "episode". To me it sounds like you are playing on the old "a man hitting a woman" cliche to gain sympathy. In denial? In my not so humble opinion, I suggest three things: 1) Admit you have a few VERY serious problems. 2) Tell the entire story, not just "my boyfriend hit me". When people hear that they instantly think the man is some deranged, abusive alcoholic. 3) See a psychoanalyst or some kind of physician by yourself for the cutting, breaking, yelling, scratiching, and beating. See a relationship counselor WITH your partner to salvage your relationship. Just hastily get in to see someone, anyone! Good luck- Tyler
  17. Not only does he "fit" into the loser category, but looks like he has classic signs of psychosis! Definite mental/emotional abuse on his part. Good job on getting out of something like that. Good luck in finding someone better.
  18. The advanced course is probably an AA degree in Paramedicine (or something similar), which is good and fine is that's what you really want to do. EMT-I does everything an EMT-B does. They can also do the cool things that Paramedics can do, but not all of them. They are trained to give IV's, some drugs, and intubation. They aren't that common because most people just want Paramedic. It's more schooling than EMT-B and they don't make much, if at all, more money. Both. There are many ways to get Paramedic. You can pay your own way through school for two years. You can get Basic and get a job with a department and they might train you on the job or pay you to get trained. You can also go to school and volunteer on a department somewhere. Many vollie departments will train you or pay for it. Feel free to ask anything else, or PM me if you want!
  19. I used to be a volunteer EMT/firefighter. Here's a little info that I know: There are three levels (California and a few other states do it differently). EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate, and EMT-Paramedic. Intermediate's are not that common, most people are EMT-B or EMT-P. EMT-B's perform BLS (Basic Life Support) such as CPR, splinting, controlling bleeding, extrication from wrecked vehicles, administering a few drugs, etc. Paramedics do ALS (Advanced Life Support) like IV's, administering a whole lot of drugs, intubation, manual defib, and what have you. Most community colleges offer EMT-B and EMT-P courses. The EMT-B course is about 5-10 months depending on the location and state. The EMT-P course is 2 years. EMT-B's don't make that much, maybe 8 - 10 bucks an hour. Paramedics are in high demand, so employment shouldn't be a problem. There are usually 3 places where they work; private companies, volunteer stations, and city fire departments. The city fire departments are VERY tough to get into (such as FDNY), and are generally the better place to work. I would highly suggest calling a local fire department and arranging a ride along in one of the rigs. They are free and I'm sure they'd be happy to accommodate you. It will let you see firsthand what it's like. Just make sure to bring cookies, the firemen like them! EDIT: I just noticed that you're from Canada, so I apologize if my info is different from Canadian policies. I forgot to add that all you need to do to get an EMT-B certification is go enroll in the course at a local college. Be prepared to have shot records, identification, etc. Also be ready to spend about 300 - 500 dollars on tuition, uniforms, and books.
  20. I was a volunteer EMT with a local fire department for about 6 months. We would only roll on one or two calls a week, but it was still fulfilling. There were a few guys that were physically limited, and they were more active members than I was! The department worked around their limitations. Maybe you could find a volunteer/paid on call station somewhere close to you, until you get better.
  21. I agree. I highly doubt that people are getting diseases younger. The diagnostic technology is just getting better. I'm sure the life expectancy now is much higher than two generations ago. I wouldn't necessarily call our government corrupt. Politicians are always going to favor the thing that gets them more votes or money, but this has always been so. There is a rapidly growing gap between upper and lower class, and people who have health care and don't. I agree that our healthcare system isn't as reliable as say, Canada's, but it's not a third world country either. The way I interpret this is that it is up to each individual to maintain his or her health. Fast food is more prevalent than healthy food, but it's not like it's non-existent. I make sure to exercise, have a somewhat healthy diet, and avoid alcohol and tobacco.
  22. I guess I'm new to the concept of people making themselves bleed from self inflicted cuts. I would convince them to see a therapist or other professional. When children (I assume the child is a toddler or very young) are involved, everything changes. No child should have to see that kind of behaviour, but that's just my opinion.
