Q. I've done some dumb things that I know disappointed him and want to do something nice for him what can I do ?
Yes, I already got punished.

A. If you've screwed up and lost his trust, then there's no "magic bullet" BS you can do to gain it back quickly. Giving him a quick hug and saying "Oh daddy, i wuv you!" is BS, and he'll see right through it and know you're just trying to suck up.
Look, if you want your parents to love and respect you...then you have to act responsibile and mature. You have to show them that you can take care of your responsibilties without being told all the time. That you can take care of yourself without calling them to help you with every little boo-boo tha happens. Etc, etc. Get your ass out of bed on time and get to school on time ALL BY YOURSELF. Stop throwing drama queen tifts with friends or dating loser guys who just want to get in your pants. Stop sneaking out of the house late at night on a school night to go get drunk with friends. Start up an exercise program and stick with it, because you care about your body and health. Start eating right and taking care of your body. Help your parents out. Give yourself weekly chores to do WITHOUT THEM TELLING YOU...make it your weekly habit to mow the yard and clean your own bathroom and room. Your parents will flip out wondering why you're mowing the yard, but it will show them that you take pride in the place you live in, and don't have to be told by someone else to go do something to take care of some place you live in.
Bottomline line...you have to act like an adult. You have to show them that you can do things and handle your shit without having to come whining to them to help you or use them as your reminder service to get shit done.
Look, your parents won't be aruond forever. They will die some day. Before they die, they want to have the comfort in knowing you can take care of yourself in a responsible and respectable fashion...that means not going out robbing stores, binge-drinking all night and skipping school or work, or other bullshit. You can get away with some crap when you're young, because your parents will pick up the slack for you. But when you get out into the real world, or your parents die at an early age, you are ON YOUR OWN. You have to be able to take care of yourself. When people see you can handle yourself, remain calm under pressure, fix more problems then you cause, present yourself in a professional and respectable manner (this means looking nice, speaking nice, and not smelling like BO), then people will naturally respect you. And when your parents notice these things about you, they will respect and love you more.
There is no quick fix solution. You have to suck it up, grow up, and show them that you can take care of yourself. And, you have to do so so it doesn't come off as you putting on some act of trying hard, and then slumming back to your old bullshit routine a week later. No, you have to start making some decisons and stick with them now, because every day is an opportunity to make your self a better person.

gaining weight after a low calorie diet?
Q. Hello. So for about 9 months to a year I was having some issues with self image, to be blunt. I was never overweight however found myself obsessed with staying in a very skinny (not THIN, but SKINNY) form...and rationed out my weekly calories to were I was eating roughly only 700-800 calories a day. On one or two days a week I would binge eat, thinking it would all even out and I would be eating a fair amount to keep my body in check. Wrong.
I recently started to slowly up my calorie intake and began working out more. However, I am finding that my body is still holding on to every calorie I have, thus I am gaining weight pretty rapidly...even as I am gradually trying to build up my calorie intake.
I try to eat high fiber so I digest foods more smoothly and quickly, I try to eat a lot of proteins and healthy foods...nothing is working! I find myself desperate to balance out my body, and now even being rational isn't working.
Obviously, I did some damage to my metabolism and I accept I was stupid for eating so few calories and slowing down my digestive system.
...But will things ever get back on track!?

A. People usually think short-term when they need to be thinking about lifestyle changes.
Eat a healthy, balanced low-fat vegetarian diet. Consult with your MD about an aerobic exercise program. And make your motivation the fact that you feel much better when you eat and exercise correctly.
Long-term, your weight is a function of your lifestyle. Focus your efforts on lifestyle and your weight will take care of itself. You can eat lots of food if it's the right kinds of food.
By the way, laboratory rats are fed MSG when they need fat rats. Also, avoid aspartame. It's a poison.
Eat whole foods and avoid anything that is packaged, refined, added to, or prepared by a large corporate entity. That cuts into corporate profits, but it helps your personal well being.

A. Plan ahead. The bottom line of any successful weight loss plan is: calories burned must be greater than calories consumed. Figure out how many of your favorite junk foods would be enough to satisfy you and plan them into your weekly calorie count. Plan for your favorite snack every day, about 150 cal, the equivalent of a one ounce chocolate, one McDonald's ice cream cone or 15 Lays potato crisps, this will eliminate feelings of deprivation which can lead to binges. If you don't make your favorite foods forbidden, you increase your willpower automatically. Simply think of these foods the same way as any other food. Make them part of your food plan and focus on moderation. If your daily meal plan is nutritious and balanced, indulging in moderation won't be a problem.
Timing is everything. Choose a 100 to 150 cal snack if your next meal is in within one to two hours, choose a 150 to 200 cal snack if your next meal is longer a way than that.
Think small. Portion control is crucial. Bite-size bits still satisfy your cravings but won't ruin your best dieting efforts. One of America's unhealthiest trends is super sizing; so don't take advantage of more for less, that may save a few pennies but causes you to pack on extra pounds. Measure your portions in advance. Don't sit down with a container of ice cream or a bag of chips and then feel guilty when it's all gone.
Identify your craving. Snack wisely by choosing the item you are really craving. Identify your craving and find a snack that suits it. Don't try to satisfy your craving with something other than what you truly want. Substituting dried fruit when you're craving chocolate won't work, you'll probably end up eating the chocolate later and then you'll have doubled your calories. Follow your instincts the first time around, period. Indulge in moderation and you'll save yourself calories and fat.
Make sure it's worth it. Ask yourself: is this snack worth the fat and calories? If the answer is a resounding yes, then go for it and savor every morsel. Then drink some water or herbal tea. Some of us confuse thirst for hunger. After you drink, wait 15 minutes and ask yourself if you're still hungry.
Never skip meals. Eat every three to five hours or try six smaller meals per day. Try adding nutritious snacks to regular meals. Timing your meals will help regulate blood sugar levels and possibly ward off cravings.
Pay attention to snacks. Put your snack on a plate and eat without distractions. Don't multitask or eat while watching TV, reading or driving. This avoids mindless snacking and unconscious eating. When you concentrate on this snack you're craving, your satisfaction level will go up.
Learn the secrets of substitutions. Some of your favorite indulgences can be fulfilled in lower calorie, lower fat versions without making you feel like you've settled for less. Incorporating these foods into your meal plans is easy and the best part is, you'll still have the flavor without the calories and fat. Smart substitutions are small changes that can really add up to pounds lost. Remember a few chocolate kisses or Oreo cookies is not the end of any diet plan. Small indulgences are not cheating. They are part of a healthy eating program that includes variety, balance and moderation. Incorporate your favorite foods into your daily plan and you'll never have to cheat again..
