body weight, how often do you check yours?

megaplaza @megaplaza (1441) • Nigeria 21 Jun 08

i do check mine almost every week, or when i feel like doing that, my average weight is 75kg, not bad i think

7 responses

Hunnnydew I actually weigh myself every morning and every evening so I can see how different foods effect my weight. It's crazy to see a four pound gain in one day when I eat a plate of pasta! Overall I would think once a week is ok too.

Hunnnydew I don't know where you live and how that affects rates, but I have a family of 4 living in a 2100 sq ft house in PA and our electric bill is only $140 this month. I don't think it ever gets over $200. Either your utilites are much higher where you live or...

Hunnnydew A real friend is loyal, trustworthy, kind, and patient. A friend does not leave you stranded or abandoned. A friend picks you up and encourages you when you are down. A friend is helpful, wise, and gentle. A friend laughs and cries with you. They are honest in...

Hunnnydew I pray about most everything I do. I search the scriptures for direction and ask God how he wants to direct my day. It is great to seek His will in the big things, but God wants to be a part of your everything! Blessings!

Children On Transportation.

kerriannc @kerriannc (4279) • Jamaica 19 Jun 08

IN an age where parents have to work during school hours, the time will come when many may have to bend and allow their children to take public transportation. Indeed, some parents start the practice very early, as evidenced by...

Hunnnydew I appreciate your thoughtful discussion. It is very helpful for those in this situation. BUT, I could never allow my child 10 or younger on public transportation or even at the bus stop without adult supervision. I suppose some people don't have a choice.

How Did You Meet Your Wife/Husband?

Erin Nicole Cochran @CallieWVU2 (520) • United States 18 Jun 08

I'm not married or even close to being married, but I was wondering how everyone HAS met their spouse or engaged partner...I know that my mom met my Dad while she was sort of hitchhiking, it was a small college town called...

Hunnnydew I met my husband on the internet back in the summer of 1994 when emails were 25 cents each! We were engaged about a month later and married a year after that. We are still happily married with 2 children. We are blessed!

Hunnnydew I think if he is not going to be there and you are there with YOUR children, then I don't see what the problem is. If the facts where different then I would say no, but we are talking about your own kids. The first option would be for them to stay with you,...

Hunnnydew Do you have a budget written down so you can see what money you are bringing in and what you are actually paying out? That is the first step. Do you have any debt..mortgage, car loans, credit cards, personal loans, student loans? My husband and I went...

Constantly Drained

guss2000 @guss2000 (2232) • United States 18 Jun 08

I don't understand it but lately I'm constantly drained. I always feel so tired and have little to no motivation. I used to be able to go to bed between 11 and 1, and get up at 7 or 8. Now, I'm having a hard time falling asleep at...

Hunnnydew The easiest thing to try to do is to drink PLENTY of water. I was feeling just like you and when I started drinking an 8 oz glass of water before and after each meal my energy increased in just a few days. You are correct about vitamins, but also some form of...

Hunnnydew If you are an ethical person you would tell the girl no and tell your friend what his girlfriend did. You are not a good friend if you do not tell your friend. If he doesn't believe you then that is his choice and maybe you need to rethink who you are friends...

Do you use food as a means of shaping your child's behavior?

sharay @sharay (2769) • India 18 Jun 08

I do give her some rewards like chocolates and icecreams if she behaves well, the way i ask her to be, but i dont punish her by taking away any food from her..do u practise this too?

5 responses

Hunnnydew I try hard not to use food or treats as a source of reward or punishment. I try to show food as a source of nourishment for our bodies and not a source of comfort or agony. For myself I grew up using food as comfort and as a stress relief and it has caused me...

Hunnnydew Money helps us get STUFF, it does not provide happiness. Ask anyone who has lots of money if it brings them happiness or more stress. True happiness comes from a peace of knowing there is more to life than stuff or ourselves. Admittedly we do have needs as...

Hunnnydew What is more important at this point is that you are getting help for your alcholism. As you know drinking will destroy your life and it sounds like you need to stay away from anyone else who is drinking or in a self destructive situation. I pray that you will...

I do an it is a great tool. Of course, even when I get it all done, within 24 hours it is back to the very same, but at least I know there is a little cleaner surface under all those toys, pb and j stains and whatnot.

Hunnnydew Have you set up your control journal with your morning, afternoon, and evening routines? This is where you should start. I know it feels impossible with little ones...trust me, I know... but those routines really help. Good luck!

For or against Home Schooling?

CherBear04 @CherBear04 (483) • United States 10 Mar 08

Hunnnydew I am coming at this from a Christian perspective as a mom who homeschools her kids. That being said, I do not think it is necessary for the parent to be a certified teacher to educate their child. It wasn't that long ago that public school were created at all....
