You can overcome you’re eating disorder.

“I became anorexic when I was fifteen. In my family, I always felt like I had taken more than my share and my mother told me that she could never give me enough. I’m the second of three girls, and I have two brothers. I had no outstanding family position and felt as if I had no outstanding trait among my pears. I was in competition with them to be thin, smart, and popular. Being thin was the one area I felt I could compete in. This was the beginning of my anorexia. I felt in control of at least something, best at something. I never felt completely secure in being thin. I had to work at it daily, for fear of gaining weight, for loosing self-control. Denying myself food was also a reaction to my mother who though I took more than my share.” –Mel’s story age 15. (Anorexia Stories, 2012)

This is just one example story of a young girl that struggles with an eating disorder called anorexia nervosa. There are many other young girls and women out there fighting this illness. 91% of women surveyed on a college campus had attempted to control their weight through dieting. 22% dieted “often” or “always. 86% report onset of eating disorder by age 20; 43% report onset between ages of 16 and 20.6 (Eating Disorder Statistics, 2014). Eating disorders vary in how someone started having their eating disorder symptoms. How people take care of themselves when they have an eating disorder, and what kind of treatment they will undergo to recover from this mental and physical state. Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder that many young teens, young adults, and even middle aged women have problems with. The causes, warning signs, and treatment are all important information to know whether you, or a friend in undergoing this hardship in life.

The term for anorexia nervosa is translated “nervous loss of appetite.” This doesn’t mean that anorexics don’t experience hunger or “loose” their appetite, instead it means that they are obsessed with food. Not obsessed in the way you would think either. Anorexics are obsessed with every calorie that they consume, most anorexics could tell you how many calories are in any specific food. When anorexics look at foods all they see are calories, and potential weight gain (McMahon, 2013).

Cause of anorexia nervosa are different from case to case. It is believed that is a result of a weight loss program gone wrong. Or the diet never stopped and kelp on getting more severe as it progressed. A lot of times females feel as if they don’t have any control in their life, and food is the one thing that they can control. Triggers of anorexia usually happen when a boyfriend, coach, mother, father, or family member tell the girl that she should go on a diet or lose weight. One reason young adolescent girls become anorexic is because they might have been sexually abused when they were young. When they start showing signs of puberty they will stop eating because they do not want to be physically attractive to men. They do not want to be hurt or used again (McMahon, 2013).

If there is ever a concern that about someone having anorexia nervosa there are some warning signs that can watched out for. Anorexics start avoiding certain foods, continually count calories, cut up their food in small pieces, chew there much longer than needed, push their food around in their plate, and exercise for an excessive amount of time. Anorexics will drink up to 30 cups of water or diet soda each day just to suppress their hunger. Anorexics also don’t get emotionally attached to people. They try not to have close friends, so people don’t know that they have a problem. Usually they are the people that will appear to have a perfect life and are also super friendly. Anorexics won’t eat the majority of foods, but they are the type of people that will bake or cook food and give it to others (McMahon, 2013).

Even though anorexia is a fatal condition you can treat it. Just like there is no single cause of anorexia there is no single way to cure it. Every person is different, and will take different pathways to overcome their sickness. Successful treatments of anorexia nervosa consist of a number of numerous people working together. People specialized in nutrition, medical specialist, and physiatrist. Anorexia doesn’t just have to do with nutrition, even though that is a big part of it. Anorexia nervosa is a mental state of mind, you think that you are overweight, and you perceive that you are overweight. With this mental perception it is hard to stop what they are doing to themselves, because in their mind they are helping themselves by not eating. The sooner someone starts treatment for this illness the better they have at overcoming it (McMahon, 2013).

Anorexia nervosa can be a heartbreaking illness to the person that is undergoing it, and to the loved ones that are helping fight it. It can be a slow agenizing process of realizing that person has a problem, and establishing a treatment program and sticking to. Many people that have or had this illness will tell us that they want to get better but just don’t know how. Here are some quotes of girls that are struggling with anorexia (McMahon, 2013). “You don’t control your sickness, it controls you.” – Jade. “Life as an anorexic is no way to live, it’s a way to die.” –Anna Claire.

Computer Software

Working with computers means that programmers must understand how to write clear instructions that computers can follow.

As “smart” as smartphones may seem, they really can’t do anything without detailed instructions on how to complete various tasks.

Have you ever tried to use a smartphone or computer that does not have any software installed on it at all, not even an operating system that will let you turn it on?

Have you ever thought about bringing a sex toy into the relationship? Whether you are new to the idea of sex toys or you have an entire box full of them, one of the best options available right now is the vibrating cock ring. These rings are able to do quite a few different things for you and your partner, and really, they can pull triple duty. The vibrating cock rings, which will go around the base of the penis, can keep the man harder for longer and prolong sex by restricting ejaculation. At the same time, the vibration provides wonderful and pleasurable sensations. They are even great for the ladies, who can feel the vibrations as they are having sex!

While you can find some high quality and reusable vibrating cock rings, you might want to start out with one of the disposable varieties. They are cheaper and you get rid of them after a single use, but it gives you an idea of whether you enjoy the sensation they provide or not. Then you can purchase the reusable variety if you feel that they really do give you and your lady even more pleasure than regular sex does.

Are you in the market for a new sex toy? Even if you have several toys, now might be a good time to pick up something new and exciting for a couple of different reasons. If you have been using the same toy for a while now, you might be getting a bit bored with it. Even though it does the job nicely, you may be looking for a different level of stimulation. Getting a new sex toy and putting it into your rotation is a nice way of spicing things up a bit.

Another reason that you might want to have a new sex toy is that the one you currently have is in some rough shape. If you have a toy that has cracks in it or that does not work as well as it once did, it is time to get a replacement sooner rather than later. You do not want to run the risk of using a toy that could break and cause injury. Instead, check out what new and fun sex toys are on the market and pick up one or two. It’s a fun and easy way to put a new thrill into your sex life.

Note from the Author:

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is right around the corner and the spectacular time for gift giving, twinkling lights, cute coats, fun boots, and sweet hot coco will finally be here! It's the time for family and friends to gather together and make precious memories that will last a life time.

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. Ever since I was young, I've been fascinated by the beauty of Christmas and it's powerful ability to draw in family and friends from all different areas to celebrate the miraculous birth of Jesus.

During holiday preparations, I tend to be a detail oriented person. I enjoy the tedious work that makes holidays so festive. The gift wrapping, hanging the glittering Christmas tree bulbs, baking a variety of sweet cookies, and hanging the long knit stockings from above the warm fire place are all jobs I adore and believe make a difference in the beauty of Christmas.

I hope to spread some of my Christmas cheer this year by sharing some helpful recipes and decorating tips. I hope my advise brings you an easier and more enjoyable holiday. Take some time during this gorgeous season to admire and truly appreciate the small things in life that make it so much more fun to live! I wish you a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year filled with love and happiness!

When to Use a Guardrail vs. a Handrail

Do you know the difference between a guardrail and a handrail? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. There are major building code differences between the two, but the average person might use the words interchangeably. A handrail is, of course, for your hand and is often spotted in stairwells. A guardrail can be just about any size and is designed to keep to people safe near elevated places. At times, both of these rails can be made of one and the same components.

According to the latest International Residential Code (IRC), a “guard” is “a building component or a system of building components located near the open sides of elevated walking surfaces that minimizes the possibility of a fall from the walking surface to the lower level.” A handrail, on the other hand, is “a horizontal or sloping rail intended for grasping by the hand for guidance and support.” In most instances, building codes don’t require a guardrail but just a “guard”—that can be just about anything: A wall, a bench, a half-wall or of course a rail.

Getting Picky

Guardrails have a lot of subjectivity, but a handrail is much more specified. You can call a guardrail a “guard,” but a handrail is always a handrail. It’s purpose is to be held—however, a guard is simply to stop you from falling. While the actual purposes are pretty similar, the IRC has very different requirements for each.

According to the IRC, “Open sides of stairs with a total rise of more than 30 inches above the floor or grade below shall have guards not less than 34 inches in height measured vertically from the nosing of the treads.” This measurement is founded on the expected fall height, not necessarily how many stairs there are. In some instances, a guard might be required on both sides, in other instances no guard would be required.

Handrail Requirements

The IRC defines handrail requirements as, “handrails shall be provided on at least one side of each continuous run of treads or flight with four or more rises.” Since the needs and movement of the body is what calls for the requirement of handrails, the actual height of stairs doesn’t matter. Every time you take a step, you’re more likely to trip, fall or get fatigued. The biggest difference is that handrails are only required on one side while guards, if required at all, must be on both sides.

Sometimes both handrails and guards will be required. You’ll need to check with the IRC to figure out the exact continuity, grip size and height required depending on the structure. For more detailed instruction, the Stairway Manufacturer’s Association also provides examples for professionals. However, one of the most invaluable resources is the building department where construction is being done. There may be niche codes to follow, or the IRC guidelines may be interpreted differently.

Finally, remember that the condition of the ground can impact moisture levels—which is crucial when working with wood guards, steps, rails and the like. Discouraging decay is crucial. There are tactics to do so, and finding rotted treated wood is fairly common for builders.

Bariatric Surgery Benefits

(Other Than Weight Loss)

If you have had, or are considering, bariatric surgery, the main goal is weight loss. The good news is the benefits go well beyond that.

Improve your mood - Everyone wants to be happy and there are various (and sometimes complicated) reasons why we aren't. External factors aside, there are both biological and psychological reasons weight loss surgery can help you look at your days with a glass half-full mindset.

Increased energy - While some may think of obese people as being lazy, in fact it can often be a catch 22. That is, obesity can be a major factor in lacking energy. If you lack energy, you’re less likely to be active, hence the lazy tag.

So, is someone obese because they are lazy, or are they lazy because they are obese? Personal slander aside, the good news is that if you are a candidate for weight loss surgery can help boost your energy, not only improving your outlook on life, but also giving you a better chance of succeeding in taking on a new active lifestyle.

People who suffer from obesity often have blood sugar levels that look like a volatile stock chart. If your blood sugar spikes or drops, it can make you sluggish. Keeping it at a steady healthy level may not only help with the next benefit to weight loss surgery, but can help you avoid those snooze-inducing mid-afternoon lulls.

Diabetes - By any rational measure, diabetes is a national epidemic. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 29.1 million Americans suffer from the disease (that’s nearly 10 percent of the population.). The CDC estimates that the direct and indirect financial burden is $245 billion.

Study after study has shown a correlation between weight loss surgery and a remission in diabetes, oftentimes allowing patients to stop taking diabetes medications. While doctors don’t recommend surgery as a cure for diabetes, it’s an amazing bonus for those who do undergo a procedure.

Reverse sleep apnea or snoring - Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder where breathing temporarily stops repeatedly. It most often leaves sufferers tired due to lack of quality sleep, but it can even be potentially fatal in some cases.

The less serious, but still problematic issue of snoring can cause issues with restful sleep and make things difficult for loved ones as well. Since obesity is one of the most important factors in developing sleep apnea (and snoring), losing a dramatic amount of weight can help reverse both issues.

None of these benefits are used to justify weight loss surgery on their own. But if you are a candidate, as you can see the possibilities go far beyond the wonderful weight loss results.
