Weight Affects Self Esteem, Health And Contributes To Discrimination
The recent Rosie vs. Donald “War of Words” has people across the nation taking sides. Donald’s harsh words regarding Rosie’s weight have many people outraged – and rightfully so. Unfortunately, it seems as though discriminating against those women who are considered “fat” has become the norm and is quite often acceptable in many circles. While I’m not overweight myself, someone with whom I’m very close is. As a matter of fact, she’s my sister – and probably one of the most ge...
Perimenopause And Phantom Periods
If you’ve experienced symptoms exactly like those that may occur when you’re expecting your period, but no period is present or ever arrives, it’s most likely that you’re having a “phantom” period.
Phantom periods are described as a period minus the menses. In other words, you may feel irritable, bloated, fatigued, experience headaches and cramps, but the presence of blood is non-existent. Most women notice phantom periods while they’re experiencing perimenopause, the tran...
Your Body Is Precious – Make It A Priority
If you were told that you could earn one million dollars simply by spending an hour each day working on a farm, would you do it? Let’s say you were offered free tickets – the best in the house – for your favorite artist, and a subsequent visit with that person if you would simply put five hours per week into something you’re not particularly fond of. Would you be tempted? My guess is that you answered yes to both of these questions.
My next question, then, is why wouldn’t ...
Women’s Workouts – Being Comfortable With Your Choice Leads To Success
The holidays are behind you and now it’s time to focus on getting ready for spring, perhaps resolving to become more fit and thin, but you’re not sure how to go about it. Maybe you’d like to join a gym and you’re considering one of those women’s gyms because you feel a bit intimidated walking into an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar equipment, machinery and people. You think you’ll feel “safe” at an all-women’s gym. I know the feeling because I was very reluctant to lea...
Women And Weight Gain
Most women can’t compete with the images we see all around us – from sexy, beautiful young models on magazine covers to gorgeous, hot middle aged housewives who call themselves desperate. This leads many of us to believe that these women have tools available to them that the rest of us don’t. To this I say “Not so, my friend.”
You see, so many women blame their weight on the fact that they’ve had children. Well, guess what – having babies doesn’t make you fat. Sure, you ma...
How To Avoid Holiday Weight Gain
Don’t eat. Starve. Relax; I’m just kidding. Believe it or not, you really can enjoy the holidays and the goodies that come with them – all without gaining that dreaded weight. Just remember these few words: Moderation and Portion Control. You see, it’s usually overindulgence that leads to weight gain during the holidays. If you can control your portions and not overindulge, you’ll be amazed how the weight will stay off.
If you happen to work in an office, whose employees a...
Perimenopause Symptoms – The Transition
Until you reached this stage in your life, there’s a high probability that you’d never even heard of perimenopause. As a matter of fact, you were probably a bit surprised that perimenopause (the transitional period before menopause) could begin so early in life, and last for ten years – sometimes even longer.
Symptoms of perimenopause are described almost exactly as those associated with menopause, and may include:
• Weight gain (especially around the mid-section)
• Mo...
Menopause And Your Attitude – Does It Make A Difference?
If you’re experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause, such as hot flashes, weight gain or difficulty sleeping, there’s a good chance that you’re also noticing you’re frequently moody or feeling somewhat depressed. Your moods during this transitional period may be affected by a decline in your hormone levels, as well as life events that can be common – yet unsettling – during midlife. It’s been well documented that taking care of yourself, as well as maintaining a pos...
Menopause And Depression
Many women experience bouts of depression as they approach menopause. As a matter of fact, midlife can be considered a period of increased risk for depression in women, the majority taking place in the years during the transition through the menopausal years. This period of time is associated with gradual declines in estrogen levels, which may be linked with the onset of depression.
It can be confusing when trying to determine if you’re suffering from depression, simply go...
Early Menopause And Your Emotions
Learning that you’re going through premature menopause can be devastating and it’s not unusual to suddenly fall into a period of depression upon receiving this unwelcome news.
Even if you weren’t planning on having children, learning that you’re suddenly infertile is an experience that can wreak havoc on your emotions. Somehow you feel as though you’re less of a woman or perhaps no longer sexy; as if a very integral part of you has died.
You try to share your feelings w...
Menopause And Your Diet
It seems like just yesterday that you were planning a tropical vacation or preparing for a high school reunion. Preparations for such events included watching your caloric intake two or three weeks to ensure that you would be svelte and sexy for the occasion. And now? Well, you’re noticing symptoms of menopause. As a result your mid-section is expanding, and stubbornly refusing to respond to your efforts to shed its spare tire.
Your added weight is a perfectly normal sympt...
Menopause Weight Gain – You Can Lost It
It’s probably safe to assume that the reason you found this article is because you’ve gradually, but progressively gained some unwanted weight, especially around your mid-section. This is somewhat surprising since you’ve not necessarily changed your lifestyle or eating habits. As a matter of fact, there’s a good chance you’ve even cut your caloric intake, but still the weight remains. Could this weight gain be associated with menopause? If you’re a woman in your thirties of f...
Menopause Symptoms And Solutions
You’ve recently noticed some changes in your physical appearance, your level of energy and/or your overall mood. Could it be that these changes are associated with menopause? If you’re a woman approaching middle age, yes, the symptoms you’re experiencing could very well be associated with menopause, even if you’re still having regular periods. You see, as you approach menopause, your hormone levels begin to decline, which can result in many of the symptoms you’re currently ex...
Debt Settlement – What About The Income Taxes?
If debt seems to be on your mind quite often in recent months, there’s a high probability that you’ve looked into your options and found that debt settlement is growing in popularity as an alternative to bankruptcy. This is especially true since the new bankruptcy law went into effect back in October 2005. Debt settlement, as you may know, is a process by which creditors agree to accept less than the full balance owed (usually around 50% or less) to settle an account. The rem...
