Hot Body or a Hot Face?
by LouBelle ini was reading a local newspaper that did a survey with regards to whether men prefer a hot body or a hot face.
men where shown a variety of pics of women with hot bodies, plain or not so pretty faces.
and then hot faces and normal to not so wonderful bodies.

I see nothing wrong with a woman following up on a date...the key is to not be too eager or clingy. When I was single, I enjoyed getting a call or text from a woman I dated. With that said, the biggest turn off for me was the desperate and overly exaggerated response to a first date. Don't try too hard...let things flow naturally, and realize that dating is like shopping. When you go to the store, you don't buy every outfit you see...you try them on and maybe buy it...or maybe not. The bottom line is that when the right person comes along, the chemistry will be there for both of you...you don't need to work that hard to make it happen!

My personal experience with home-schooling was a mixed bag, but after looking at the big picture I would advise against it. Both my kids got home-schooled from ages 12-14. The thought was that they would have a better environment to learn in and get away from the horrible bullying and bad associations they were getting in middle school from the kids. The bottom line is that they both ended up returning to public school and had a tough time readjusting. The 2 year lag in school attendance was questioned by the school system and though the homeschool program we used was "accredited", the school system would not accept some of the classes and subjects the kids were taught. This created major problems for them and required they take almost a year's worth of classes through continuation and summer school to be able to get "caught up" on the prerequisite coursework to be able to graduate. The kids ended up being quite resentful about the lost time and additional workload. It also affected their socialization skills and made returning to public school a tough one for them. Both kids had behavioral issues for the year following their return to public school. Thank goodness we were able to work through it and the kids graduated (finally!), went on to university and both ended up getting degrees, much to my JW ex-wife's displeasure!
The interesting side note to all of this is that the exact opposite of the desired effect of home-schooling my wife had hoped for actually ended up happening. Rather than bring the kids into a closer relationship with JW's, both kids rejected the "Truth" shortly after graduating high school. My Ex still thinks it was a result of my bad influence on them, but I believe the kids ultimately blamed the isolation of JW influenced homeschool for "ruining" their later youth.
My warning is "buyer beware" when considering homeschool...or if you want your kids to reject the WTS sooner, homeschool them!

What has really helped for me to lose weight, and more importantly, feel better is to do cardio exercise (brisk walking is great) 3-4 times a week and resistance training (weights or exercise bands) a couple of times a week. As mentioned before, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
The single biggest help for me was to switch my eating habits from 2-3 larger meals a day to 5 smaller meals per day (approximately 200-300 calories each). It keeps your blood sugar much more stable and thus you don't get the cravings to overindulge or splurge. Eat that way 3-4 days a week, and then boost your calorie intake for one day and then return to the 3-4 day a week schedule. That keeps you from getting into a metabolic rut. Cut out the booze for a while. You will be amazed how good you will start to fell and how quickly the weight will drop off. It is much easier than it sounds...good luck!!
