Eat plenty of HEALTHY food and get lots of exercise. Don't expect to drop down that many sizes by August, but expect to be on your way to a healthier lifestyle and eventually your goal. Be realistic though, sometimes a size 6 or 7 may be a healthy size for a particular body type, and there is nothing wrong with that! 2. Vitamin E will do the trick! And stimulate your roots with massages. 3 and 4- Practice makes perfect! Practice a little each day so you will not burn out. You can't do backhand springs in your home and probably shouldn't do them in your backyard either lol, but you can stretch and tone, two key elements of a great cheerleader. In the process you will make progress on goal 1 :) Hope that helps and I wish you the best! 1. Eat plenty of HEALTHY food and get lots of exercise.

]]> Comment on Am I over depression? by Jimmy http://www.effortlessfreedomonline.com/am-i-over-depression/#comment-556 Jimmy Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:28:59 +0000 http://www.effortlessfreedomonline.com/am-i-over-depression/#comment-556 I think the fact that you care enough to ask shows that you are coming out of your depressed state. It sounds as if you are not sure because you thought not being depressed would make you the opposite: happy or "manic." The problem with that kind of expectation is that it is just the other extreme, it is generally good to be somewhere in the middle. So, while you may not have the brightest views on life, neither do most people who pay attention to what goes on in the world, but they are not necessarily depressed. You don't understand yourself for good reason: you're 16! It takes some people a lifetime to understand who they are and where they fit in, it takes others much less. As to whether your depression will come back or not, that really depends on two things: how you learn to cope with things, and the unforeseeable future. If you learn to cope well with the bad parts of life, you have a good chance of not having to deal with depression again, but I will be honest, there will always be low points to life. If there weren't, there would be no high points either. Disregarding that you can't control the future, your best bet for keeping yourself from slipping into depression is learning how to deal with the things that make you depressed. Unfortunately, that is something that you have to figure out for yourself, because only you truly know how your mind works.

I am sorry to tell you this but this dog is not well balanced and should be destroyed. You have a responsbility to society to protect some unsuspecting individual from being maimed or killed by this dog. It think that I would rather wrestle with my conscience over having the dog put down rather than dealing with a case of, "if only I had..." after the dog has torn somebody's kid to pieces. As words of comfort, I have this to say: I am not sure that anything or anybody could have helped this dog. Put the dog down.

On the contrary, it sounds as though you have worked very hard to re-train this dog and meet her special needs, spending thousands of dollars, years of time, and who knows how many sleepless nights trying to correct the problem and give her a chance. That's an extraordinary amount of dedication and you are to be commended for that. The dog came to you with a flawed genetic temperament and poor socialization. Both of those issue put absolute, immutable limits on her behavior. They defined a range of possible behavior and adjustment, and no amount of love, training or prayer is going to extend that range--you are always working within it. This is why proper breeding and early socialization is CRITICAL to having a sound dog. You don't have a sound dog. I'm very, very sorry to hear that you are facing putting her down, but I think it is the best decision. I don’t think you are a terrible dog owner.

Do you know or remember what Happiness is ???? Get out and walk is my best advice. Take your mom with you she would probable love you for asking. Get to where your walking at least 30 min a day at a good rate. Then write yourself a plan for the future. It can be anything because you will most likely change it but WRITE IT DOWN ! From there on you have time to think when walking and your getting healthy physically. So all the hard work now is school and with your plan you will begin to fit in with kids who are thinking past high school and thinking about a real career !!! Look you understand what depression is now.

It sounds like she does not respect humans in this way. Have you seen a trainer that can teach you these methods? If not I would try to contact someone who can try and help you with pack leadership skills and how to apply them. You are the leader in your "house hold pack" and she needs to know that. It does not sound like she does. However since the dog is a rescue mix and not from a reputable breeder its likely that the dog is neurotic and there is nothing you can do about it. Neurotic dogs need to be put down. I would try talking to the vet about that and trainers about pack leadership skills if you haven't already. it sounds like you tried your best, and the best thing might be to put her down before she hurts someone really bad. I wish you luck! Did you try pack leadership skills with her? It sounds like she does not respect humans in this way. Have you seen a trainer that can teach you these methods?

They are also very sparsely populated and the sheer lack of facilities and workers could have been a problem. I wonder if you were running around blaming the local politicans for the failures of Katrina, or if you were one of the countless "Bush hates black people" people?
