Emotional overeaters have a problem with weight management because their eating patterns are ruled by their emotions. Emotional eaters tend to eat for reasons other than physical hunger, turning to food when they are stressed, upset, anxious or excited. The result is a loss of control over what they eat and excessive calorie consumption. This cycle results in weight gain and depression, which leads to more eating, creating a self-perpetuating cycle.

There is no good answer to this question, as we all come in different sizes. Some of us are tall and some short. Similarly, some girls have large, medium, or small breasts. Nonetheless, many girls are unhappy because they think their breasts are too small or too large. Attitudes about breast size are often influenced by fashions. In the Flapper days (1920s), it was considered desirable to have small breasts, as was the case in the l960s when fashion models began to look emaciated. With the arrival of the Wonder Bra, it again became fashionable to have larger breasts. From a health perspective, there is no ideal breast size. Breast size bears no relationship to breast cancer or ability to nurse an infant. There are surgical procedures available to increase or decrease the size of breasts. These are major operations and they should not be entered into without considerable thought and extensive information, as they have possible serious drawbacks and complications. Padded bras are safer alternatives for those who want their breasts to appear larger. Also remember that you have time on your side as breasts continue to grow, especially during puberty and pregnancy. Improving nutrition may also contribute to increased breast volume.

Free your feet from the high-heels, and try the DIY foot massage at home. The massage can be preceded by a foot soak in warm water mixed with ordinary table salt. Use a pan or a bubbling foot spa and keep the feet immersed for 15 to 20 minutes. Then dry them thoroughly.

Place a pillow or folded towel in your lap topped with a hand towel. Apply cream to your hands, rubbing them together briskly to warm them. (Don't use oil: When hands get slippery, applying pressure is difficult.) Have your partner in a relaxed position, knees bent, feet in your lap. The four techniques described below may be repeated as desired, with one hand on each foot or with two hands on one foot. (When you work on one foot at a time, keep the other warm by draping it with a towel.)

Place fingers lightly across top of toes, thumb against the sole. Use your thumb to press in a circular motion. Continue the circular motion as your hand moves across the foot in a horizontal path. Removing your fingers from the top of the toes, slide your hand slightly closer to the arch and repeat the side-to-side massage. Continue until you have massaged the area under the instep.

How is a good bra a "power" piece?

Well, if you walk around in one that calls attention to your chest, you're seriously undermining your authority. And I'm not just talking to the Pamela Anderson-types on the list. Far from it.

If the bra you're wearing right now rides up in the back, slips off your shoulders, runneths over in the front, back, or side, or puts your bustline at your collar bone or at your waistline, let me tell it to you straight: it's time for a change.
