I probably grew an inch to two after I graduated high school and went to university. So don't think too much about it, eat lots of things, enjoy your teens and then before you know it, you will have grown much taller :)

Well thanks to your recommendation I did watch it last night.. and it was indeed very inspiring!!!

I haven't really read any other posts than the original post but I have no friends in CC. I guess I don't socialize on CC much. I think I'm more sociable in RL.

It could be a phase. I go through the phases sometimes where I feel unpleasant eating or smelling meat.

I agree with cweadock. When they say sugar free, they mean artificial sugar substitute. And there's nothing wrong with little fat from yogurt since you do need fat in your diet.

And I also recommend the same one, vanilla yogurt from stoneyfield.

DARN ITTTT D:

I won't lie, I was secretly (or not) hoping for positive answers.. Tbh, I'm pretty sure it's not really food that's causing it. You'd think after 23 years, you'd figure out when you eat ___, you start scratching like a madman.

Docs tell me to minimize consumption of pork, dairy products and some fish. So I will. And I happen to be going through a phase where I'm not really interested in meat. Something about the taste of meat that's not appealing.. So I'll continue trying to be veg/pesc. Thanks much for the information, mogochud!

There are always those couple of people who are really opinionated and I just nod. But they don't get the point and keep on talking... now THAT is draining.

But otherwise, I love talking to both talkative and not-so-talkative people. Just use your commonsense and if that person doesn't seem to be listening, s/he is either preoccupied with something or would rather do something else. You just have to get those subtle hints when people aren't really up for talking. But other wise, talk away! Don't be self-conscious!!!! A lot of people would love to have such attitude :D

The only ultimate question you should ask yourself, regardless what others think or tell you that you are too young is this:

DO YOU WANT TO MARRY HIM.

If it's no, obviously don't. If yes but you feel you are too young, it's okay to be engaged for however long until you feel you are ready. The fact that you came online to ask a bunch of strangers tell me you aren't feeling quite sure.

Hey I was in a similar situation as yours about a year ago. I was majoring in Computer Science and Psychology. I had declared Psychology as a major around my sophomore year and started working towards it. No biggie. Until I took a programming class and I absolutely loved it. So I was going for Psyc major and CS minor - until I thought about it more. Which one did I like better? Which major do I see myself working with later in the future? Computer Science. So I made it double degrees. But there was a slight problem, I wasn't going to be able to finish both degrees by the end of my senior year. I could have easily graduated on time with Psyc major and CS minor but I really wanted to work in programming field than useless Psyc bachelors. (I really think Bachelors in psyc is useless- in order to secure a job in psyc field - would require gradschool, masters or PhD. but if you just want a job, it's fine.)Oh and for some odd reason, minoring in Psyc wasn't an option. Besides, I was only 3 classes away from finishing that Psyc degree! I'd rather spend extra time to get the BS degree after all that time and effort I had put in it.

So I told my parents about wanting to take extra year to finish both degrees. And even then my course loads are usually 4~5 classes with all of them 400 lvl (for upperclassmen). Stressful yes. But in CS field, it's rather important to get CS degree (not necessary but strongly recommended) so I went with what I wanted to do with my life/future. And there's no shame in taking extra semester or year.

I'm hoping I can say the same about Parmesan cheese in some indeterminate future... I just can't stand the stinky smell or the sharp taste of Parmesan. It tastes like.. vomit to me.

I used to hate salad until I went to college. I went to dining hall and found nothing I liked, saw that the only non greasy/fried food was salad and decided to give it a go. And I love salad! I love the variety and versatility of mixing things up. Nuts and fruits, different veggies, sometimes chicken... YUM

I also had no love for cookies or burgers until 2 years ago but I decided to give them a second chance when I saw my bf scarf them down. Now I have a huge crush on cookies and burgers that won't go away!

Eggs are high in cholesterol, and health experts in the past counseled people to therefore avoid this food. (All of the cholesterol in the egg is in the yolk.) However, nutrition experts have now determined people on a low-fat diet can eat one or two eggs a day without measurable changes in their blood cholesterol levels. This information is supported by a statistical analysis of 224 dietary studies carried out over the past 25 years that investigated the relationship between diet and blood cholesterol levels in over 8,000 subjects. What investigators in this study found was that saturated fat in the diet, not dietary cholesterol, is what influences blood cholesterol levels the most.

Improve Your Cholesterol Profile

Not only have studies shown that eggs do not significantly affect cholesterol levels in most individuals, but the latest research suggests that eating whole eggs may actually result in significant improvement in one's blood lipids (cholesterol) profile-even in persons whose cholesterol levels rise when eating cholesterol-rich foods.

That was a pretty informative article. Thanks! I'll have WHFoods bookmarked, hehe.

I love the rain, makes me feel badass.

I have to agree. When it storms outside and people are running for the cover, it makes me feel so awesome and energized to know that I'm enjoying the run and rain, people staring at me like I'm crazy. In fact, I try to go run right before the storm so that after half my run, I would run through rain.

I think I grew until sophomore year of college. So yes, you will probably grow more.

Not to sound too crude but at age of 13, don't worry about your weight or measurement so much. They are bound to change as your body goes through puberty and mature.

I am glad you too found how great sparkling water is for you and helping to avoid carbonated pops and sugar cravings.  For me it was more about not being interested in flat water and not drinking enough.  I love sparkling water (no flavor) so much that I drink twice the water now and less champagne which I love.  I even put Pelligrino in a wine glass now and "pretend" its champagne.  As you get more into this you will notice that you will favor a certain brand.  For me I have turned into a water snob.....I love Pelligrino and will have Perrier only if that is all there is.

Haha that's funny... For some odd reason, I prefer Pellegrino far more than Perrier. In fact, I get annoyed if they only have Perrier instead of Pellegrino. Have you tried other Pellegrino flavors? I abhor any flavor from Pellegrino.

I also drink seltzer too. Lots of them.
