It Is A Matter of Pride

It Is A Matter of Pride

Bankruptcy is a financial technique in which you declare that you cannot repay your creditors now or see a way to repay them in the future. Depending on your income and the amount of money you owe, an individual may declare chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcies.


However, in either case, bankruptcy is a fairly public affair. Your name and address will be published in at least one of the local newspapers for all of your friends to read, and your neighbors will see movers coming to repossess some of your items. For many people, the worst part of bankruptcy isn’t losing the money ; it’s losing pride and dignity.

The first way to deal with this is to realize that most of your friends and family have gone through money problems at one time or another in their lives. Although they may not have resorted to bankruptcy, there is certainly no question that only the very lucky do not feel drown by debts at one point or another. Simply put, people will understand. Even though you may feel like everyone is snickering at you behind your back, the truth is that most people are actually empathizing with you.

Also realize that not everybody will realize you’ve declared bankruptcy. Most people do not take the time to read the newspaper that carefully, and even though word does travel fast, it is not a topic that most people will bring up because it simply is not that interesting. You might feel like you’re the headlining news, but in actuality, most people probably didn’t even know about it.

It is important to continue with the process, even if people do find out. If you are embarrassed, simply understand that so our all of people in this country who are going through the same thing. You are not alone. In fact, you may be able to get counseling to help you go through the bankruptcy process. You may be surprised at how many people have declared bankruptcy and gone on to be very successful.

If bankruptcy is the best thing for your family and your financial situation, it is most important that you continue with the declaration. Take care of yourself first, then worry about what other people have to think. The most important thing is not what your neighbors have to say, but instead what you are doing to get yourself bank on track financially so that your future will be brighter.

Bankruptcy and Divorce

Bankruptcy and Divorce

If you believe that you and your partner are headed for divorce, and you both have a lot of debt between you, it might be a good idea to decide to file for bankruptcy before you begin to file for divorce.
This will pave the way for the divorce to proceed much more easily because it will allow you to get rid of some of your debt and to clear the way for a clean break.

If you can file for bankruptcy, then you can have a better idea of how to deal with the debts that do remain between the two of you. It will also mean that if your ex files for bankruptcy later on down the road, you can be protected because you are going to take care of your debts before the divorce.

The way it works is rather simple. When one or both of the spouses file for bankruptcy, all of the property that has been shared by both of them will become a part of the estate and will then be available to pay for the debts.


This will also mean that you have been granted an automatic stay, which means that the creditors can’t hound you for money. Remember that this stay does not prevent you from getting spouse or child support from your ex.

The next thing that will happen is that the bankruptcy court will decide what shared property is exempt from the bankruptcy, meaning that it cannot be sold in order to pay for your debts. Then, the divorce court can divide that property between you and your ex spouse.

If you are trying to negotiate property settlements, and also going through bankruptcy, you are going to be dealing with very complicated issues. Some of the debts that might be related to a property settlement might not be wiped out during the bankruptcy, so you will still need to pay them.


However, these debts can be wiped out if you can show that you can’t pay the debt and still take care or yourself or your children, or that if you wipe out the debt it is going to be better for you than the harm that would be done to the people that you owe by not paying it.

This means that if you think your spouse is going to consider filing for bankruptcy after the divorce is final, you need to make sure that your finances are squared away so that you aren’t going to be faced with any more debts.

Bankruptcy and Taxes

Bankruptcy and Taxes

When it comes to bankruptcy and taxes, there can be several serious things that you are going to want to think about. If you are going to file for bankruptcy, you are going to want to make sure that you are doing everything you can to save yourself as much trouble, money, and time as you can.

You should know that any income tax debts might be eligible for being taken care of under Chapter 7 or chapter 13. If you are willing to file for bankruptcy, this is one of five ways that you can get out of tax debt. However, you should remember that in order to get your taxes discharged by filing for bankruptcy, you are going to have to meet certain requirements, so you should make sure you meet them before you file for bankruptcy to get out of tax debt.

If you file for Chapter 7, you are going to be able to get fully discharged of the debts that are allowable. With Chapter 13, there will be a payment plan that is required so that you can pay back some of your debts, and the rest will be discharged. Remember that not all of the tax debt that you might have is going to be discharged if you file for bankruptcy. You have to meet five criteria in order to get your taxes taken care of.

These five criteria that you need to meet in order to get your tax debt discharged when you file for bankruptcy are all important. The first is that the date that the tax return was due was at least three years ago. The second is that the tax return had been filed at least two years ago. The third is that the tax assessment is at least 240 days old. The fourth is that the tax return cannot have been fraudulent. And the fifth is that you are not guild of tax evasion. If you can meet all of these criteria, you are going to be able to most likely get your tax debt discharged when you file for bankruptcy.

Remember that filing for bankruptcy carries its own consequences, especially on your credit. You should not file for bankruptcy just to be able to get out of paying your tax debt, because it is going to do much more harm than good in the long run when it comes to the damage done to your credit. Only file if you have no other option and if you’ve been told that it is your best chance of beginning to rebuild your life.

Bankruptcy Fraud

Bankruptcy Fraud

Even though a bankruptcy can sit on your record or on your companies record for a very long time, and even though it can make it nearly impossible for you to get loans, get credit or even do any large financial trading, there is still the factor that remains that once you have filed for bankruptcy, your debts are most likely going to be taken care of. This had led to many advancements in bankruptcy fraud, and has led in turn to a crackdown on this fraud by the government, which is going to hopefully be able to take care of too many different bankruptcies and get more and more people back on their feet in the correct manner.

Bankruptcy fraud can be done in several ways, and some of them are quite hard to catch. One thing that is done is when someone files for bankruptcy but really doesn’t need to file for it. They might hide most of their assets by giving them to others to own or hold, and by not disclosing them.


This means that the assets that they do have are taken and sold, and their debts are forgiven, and once the bankruptcy act is closed, these people simply get their property back from wherever they had it, and they are in much better shape than they were before, even with the mark on their credit.

If you have enough property and you hide it from the government, then even though your credit says you have filed for bankruptcy, you can still find ways to pay for things because you still have the assets.

Bankruptcy fraud is dangerous because it is hurtful to the people who file bankruptcy when they actually have to. Those that are filing in fraudulent manners are tying up the court system and are tying up the resources that the other people need in order to actually get their debts taken care of. This is detrimental to the whole process. It also isn’t fair to the creditors because if someone files bankruptcy and hides their property, the creditors are not going to get everything that has been owed to them and are going to find themselves out of luck.


Because of the fact that bankruptcy fraud can be harmful to so many different people, the government has cracked down on it and now makes sure that being caught with bankruptcy fraud is something that is very punishable. It is also not easy to get away with in any way.

Corporate Bankruptcy: Where Does it Leave You ?

Corporate Bankruptcy : Where Does it Leave You ?

Corporations can file for bankruptcy, just like individuals. Bankruptcy is the legal declaration that you cannot pay your debts. However, the problem arises when the corporation is a large public company that has given out thousands of shares of stock to different stockholders. If you are one of these stockholders, you may be wondering how this company’s bankruptcy will affect you.

Don’t worry—when you are a stockholder, although you own a tiny piece of the company, you personally are not financially responsible for the company declaring bankruptcy. You may lose a lot of money because the value of the stock might drop to zero, but creditors won’t be banging you’re your door asking for millions, that’s for sure! However, as a stockholder, you are responsible to continue to understand how the company is operating throughout the bankruptcy. You do have a small say and how it operates.

Companies can choose to file either chapter 11 or chapter 7 bankruptcy. Most choose to file chapter 11. This means that, although the company cannot currently pay off its debts, it is hoping that with some help and with reorganization the company can be profitable again. The company’s stock can continue to trade while this is occurring. Sometimes a trustee and creditors will handle the reorganization, and sometime the new owners will handle it. It depends on the specific situation.

In this case, when the reorganization plan is complete, you as a stockholder will get a vote. You should read everything sent carefully, and if you agree vote in favor. If you do not agree, vote against. Your voice does make a difference, because if enough people vote against, the company cannot carry through with the plan.

However, in some cases, this is not how companies choose to proceed. If the company is deeply in debt and does not see any chance for coming back from this debt, even after a reorganization, the company will declare a chapter 7 bankruptcy and liquidate. When a company liquidates, the trustee sells all of the assets to pay off creditors. For, secured debts are repaid, and then unsecured debts are repaid. If there’s any money left, it is split amount he stockholders, but this is usually not the case.

The bottom line is that bankruptcy is bad for everyone. It is important to follow the things happening in your company so that you are aware of things like this that could be on the horizon. The stock market is a gamble, and sometimes it does not pay off.

Diet in College

Diet in College

When you go away to college, you are thrown into an unfamiliar environment. Sleeping in a bed that is not your own and dealing with a new roommate you don’t know may be difficult enough, but you can’t forget about learning how to eat healthy foods while at college. Healthy eating is important so that you keep the weight off and keep your immune system healthy.

It is first important to settle into an eating routine. At home, you would probably never eat after a certain time at night - don’t at college either. If you’re used to eating breakfast, wake up before classes in enough time to do so. At the very least, be sure that you have time between classes for a balanced lunch and dinner. Don’t skip meals.

If your schedule is hectic, as most people find, you’ll need to schedule time to eat. Instead of grabbing food from a vending machine when you are hungry, plan ahead. Take a healthy salad or sandwich with you to eat if you have class over mealtime. Most professors don’t mind if you bring food to class as long as your eat it quietly.

When you do have time to eat in the cafeteria, it is important to make healthy decisions. Most colleges offer pizza and a variety of desserts every day, but that doesn’t mean you have to eat them ! Look for choices that have a balance of the food groups in every meal. A good indication that you have a nutritious meal is color. If your trey is colorful, with fruits, vegetables, and proteins, you are on the right track.

Of course, not every college has a cafeteria, and even if yours does you might choose to eat elsewhere. It’s very tempting to order Chinese food or other delivery, especially when participating in study groups. Try to find the best options here and allow yourself to splurge only on special occasions. For example, if someone is ordering pizza, see if the pizzeria also offers salads. This may be a healthy option. Try to stay away from fried or greasy foods.

College is one of the best times of your life. Don’t let poor eating choices ruin the experience. You might also want to note as a closing thought that alcohol has more empty calories than most of the foods you can eat at the cafeteria combined. Staying away from it can not only keep you safe, but also healthy. Add an exercise routine at a local gym, and you’ll never see that freshman fifteen !

Fad Diets

Fad Diets

Fad diets are a sort of diet plan or aid that aims at losing weight, usually in a relatively short time. Fad diets attract a large number of people who suffer from weight problems and are helplessly looking to some way of arriving at a shapely physique. The problem with fad diets is that their fat-reducing effect is temporary and results in quick regain of weight. What is worse is that most of these diets are harmful to health.

Fad diets are not as new as they might seem at first. These date back to the mid 19th century when an obese Londoner was prescribed such a diet on experimental basis. Now, after a century and a half, fad diets have become popular among people with weight problems. Teens and young adults especially flock to fad diets for answers to weight problems.

Fad diets are usually centered on a higher consumption of fats or proteins while stressing to go easy on or, in some cases, completely cut out carbohydrates. It is the low intake of carbohydrates that brings about rapid weight loss. In fact, this rapid loss is the loss of water that glycogen has stored. With loss of glycogen, the large amount of water stored in it is also lost and body weight drops. The fats are still there and as the fad diets are given up, the body regains its proportion of water lost. Weight is put back on as fast as it was lost.

Normally, carbohydrates remain the source of energy for work. With fad diets, the carbs are no longer there so the body starts using the stored fat, breaking it down. This may appear beneficial but in fact it is not. In the absence of carbs, fats cannot be completely oxidized and put to work. Hence, the body feels fatigued and weak. In addition, the ketone molecules resulting from the fat-breakdown accumulate in the blood and are excreted out via urine, causing dehydration.

Given the harmful health effects of fad diets, it is important for us, especially the weight-conscious people, to recognize and beware of these diet plans. Watch out for diets that :

** Promise quick weight loss
** Publicize before and after pictures
** Present weight-loss testimonials
** Tend to limit natural food choices
** Require a large sum of money

Fad diets may be popular, but they can greatly hurt your body. Be careful with any diet or exercise program and ask your doctor to be sure it is safe.

Fat

Fat

Numerous sources of information will tell you that fats are potentially harmful elements of your diet. While this is true in general, it does not imply that fats are not valuable from a nutritional point of view. In fact, fats are absolutely necessary for maintaining proper health.


Fats are the chief form of energy stored in the body. During times of unavailability of food, the fats stored in the body provide energy to prevent starvation.

There is good scientific reason behind why fats, and not carbohydrates, remain the chief form of stored energy in the body. The body cannot store glycogen ( the dominant form of the body's carbohydrates ) in great amounts because glycogen holds a great deal of water and is very bulky. Fats, on the other hand, can be packed tightly together without water. They can store much more energy than glycogen in a small space.

Foods rich in fats are valuable in many situations. One gram of fat ( or oil ) provides twice as many calories as obtained from one gram of carbohydrates. People doing hard physical labor and those traveling in cold climates require ample supply of fats to provide energy in the form of heat. Fatty foods usually carry tempting aromas and flavors that cause you to eat these foods in excess, getting unneeded calories.

How do you know when to stop eating ? Well, there are certain fats in the food that slow digestion and give the brain a signal to stop eating. That is why fatty foods give a fuller feeling of satisfaction.

The vital organs of the body are surrounded by and cushioned in fat pads that function as shock absorbers. Also, the layer of fat beneath the skin prevents the body from extremes of temperature conditions. Fats also dissolve some essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Without some fat in our diet, we cannot survive. The fear of eating too much fat and gaining weight is often associated with anorexia and other eating disorders, but fat, in moderate amounts, is actually healthy for your body. Look for fats that are good for your body, such as those found in olive oil, and reduce the fats that are bad for your body, such as the ones found in fast food. Remember to eat a small amount of good fats every day so that you can maintain good health.

Food Pyramid

Food Pyramid

An overwhelming variety of both natural and highly processed foods is available at the market. To guide people in picking healthy food items, the US Department of Agriculture has designed the food pyramid. It is a labeled illustration, shaped like a pyramid, which demonstrates groups of essential food types and the quantity in which a normal individual requires each of these foods.

At the base of the food pyramid are such food items that serve as ready sources of energy. These are rich in starch, low in fat, and include cereals, pasta, bread, and different types of grains. By the specifications of the food pyramid, a normal adult individual needs 6 to 11 servings of these items daily. Whole grains are the best and healthiest food of this group. In a single serving of these foods you can include a slice of bread, a cup of cereal flakes, one flat tortilla, and one ounce of rice or pasta.

As the geometry of the food pyramid shows, vegetables and fruits are required in less quantity than carbohydrates. Normally, a grown person would need 3 to 5 servings of vegetables and 2 to 4 servings of fruits daily. The high fiber content of vegetables and fruits make them ideal food items as fiber keeps the bowel movements in order. In addition, they are both rich in vitamins ( required for immunity and general health ) and minerals, which ensure the proper functioning of various body organs. Among vegetables, go for more dark green vegetables and try to pick fresh fruits instead of fruit juices.

Next upper chamber in the food pyramid is occupied by proteins and dairy products. You need 2 to 3 servings daily of each of these foods. Protein comes from lean meat, eggs, fish, beans, and nuts. It is advisable to remove the visible fat on the meat so as to make it a low fat item. Be moderate in using nuts, since they also hold fats. Among the dairy products, milk is the complete diet with most of the required vitamins and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Cheese and yogurt are also recommended dairy foods. Try to abstain from high intake of ice cream and cheese that is high in fat.

Lastly, at the top of the food pyramid lie fats, including oils, and sweets. The recommended quantity of these items is limited to sparing use. Butter, cream, oils, candies, margarines etc ..., are all foods that are not easy to digest and hence should be used in minimal amounts. However, it is an important part of our diet, just as all the other parts of the food pyramid are important as well.

High Fiber Diets

High Fiber Diets

Fiber is mostly polysaccharides composed of glucose units, but human digestive enzymes cannot break the bonding of these units. We can think of fiber as non-starch polysaccharides. These include cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, and some other types of fiber. That might sound like Greek to you, but fiber is an important part of our daily diet, and a high fiber diet might be perfect for your body.

Depending on their solubility in water, there are of two main types of fiber : soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Both of these types are important for optimum health. Fiber has a number of health benefits and hence is highly recommended in daily food. Some of its health benefits are:

** It promotes the feelings of fullness and reduces energy consumption.
** It prevents constipation, hemorrhoids, and other intestinal problems.
** Fiber helps prevent bacterial infection of the appendix.
** It reduces the risk of colon cancer.
** It stimulates the muscles of the digestive tract and helps them retain their health and tone.

To keep the digestive tract healthy and prevent other disorders like hemorrhoids and intestinal problems, people normally need 20 to 35 grams of fiber daily. These can be obtained from a variety of plants, vegetables and fruits. Fibers are especially abundant in whole foods. All fruits are rich in fiber. For just 2 grams of fiber, you could eat 1 small apple, 1 peach, 1 small banana, 2 prunes, 16 large cherries, or a number of other fruits. Grains also contain fiber. For 2 grams of fiber, simply try 1 slice of whole wheat bread, 2 slices of cracked wheat bread, 1 cup of cooked oatmeal, 2 cups of popped popcorn, or ¼ of a cup of corn bran.

If you are on a low-carb diet, you can try eating cooked vegetables to provide your body with adequate fiber. For 2 grams of fiber, eat ½ of a cup of broccoli, 1 cup of celery, ½ of a cup of carrots, 1 small potato, 1 large tomato, or a variety of beans. Beans, or any type of legume, are the real powerhouses for fiber. By only eating ½ of a cup of kidney beans, 1 cup of dried peas or lentils, or ½ of a cup of canned baked beans, you can provide your body with a whopping 8 grams of fiber. If all else fails, small amounts of fiber can also be found in peanuts, walnuts, and pickles, so there is really no excuse for not getting enough fiber in your diet !

Reaching for the Stars - or for the Size 2 Jeans

Reaching for the Stars - or for the Size 2 Jeans

When you’re trying to lose weight, it can be frustrating to not see result or to stop seeing results. However, this happens to many people for a variety of different reasons. Losing weight is never easy ; at least, it is not as easy as putting on the weight. If you truly want to see the results you wish you could have, the best way to do that is to set weight losing goals. Having goals will put you on the fast track to success with your weight loss.

Before you simply set goals and start dieting and exercising, talk to your doctor or a professional trainer. These people will be able to help you set healthy goals that you’ll be able to reach with a little hard work. They’ll also be able to point out goals that could result in dangerous eating or exercising habits. Poor eating can easily turn into an eating disorder and unhealthy amounts of exercise can cause you body to weaken and make you prone to injury. Professionals know what they are talking about in weight loss, so trust their opinion on most matters.

When setting weight loss goals, try to come up with a plan that will allow you to reach your goals, but not without effort. This requires a lot of balance and will possible require you to reset goals after a few months. If your goals are too easy, you will not be losing weight at the maximum rate or pushing yourself to try harder, which is not a good idea when it comes to weight loss, as it may cause you to give up your plan completely. If your goals are too difficult to reach, on the other hand, you may also want to give up because you become frustrating at not seeing the results you think you should be seeing. There’s a fine line between pushing yourself too much and not enough.

As you set goals, consider a number of things, such as how often you’re able to work out, your weight now and what it would be in a perfect world, the specific parts of your body that make you most unhappy, and you physical abilities. Don’t just set a number goal - work towards a number of different goals. Set goals to cover you total weight, the inches you want to lose from your waist or other areas, the pants size you’d like to be able to wear, and the health factors, like a certain cholesterol or blood pressure, that you want to achieve. Set both long term and short term goals and you’ll be well on your way to losing the weight.

Weight Loss for Kids

Weight Loss for Kids

Weight is an issue for many adults, but did you know that children can have a problem with weight as well ? When your child has a medical condition or simply does not get the appropriate foods, the result may be a weight problem. Although this is not the norm, it is becoming more and more common. If you think that your child might have a problem with weight, it is in his or her best interest to see a doctor right away to help to solve this problem.

There are many reasons why a child could have problems with weight. First of all, it is possible that he or she will have a medical problem causing the weight gain or loss. Remember that low weight can be as dangerous and unhealthy as high weight. Medical problems that cause this can usually be controlled by medical treatment by a professional, but some conditions are very dangerous if to go untreated. Always have your child see a doctor for regular checkups and do not hesitate to call if you are concerned about a specific weight problem.

If your child is not getting the appropriate nutrients, he or she may also have problems with weight. It is very important for your child to eat the same nutritious foods enjoyed by adults, only in smaller portions. If your child eats lots of junk foods and does not get enough good foods like fruits and vegetables, whole grains and nuts, lean meat, and low-fat dairy products, being overweight may be a problem. Children can also be very picky eaters, and younger children will not understand that eating enough healthy foods is important. This can cause your child to be underweight or may stunt growth.

If your child is overweight, a weight loss program is not only available, but it is crucial. Your child’s doctor and a nutritionist can help with deciding a healthy plan for losing weight for your child. This can be a very sensitive issue for many children, since being overweight can lead to teasing and other problems at school. Therefore, approach your child with care and understanding.

It is a good idea to promote weight loss for your entire family if a child has a weight problem. Have your family join a gym together or purchase home exercise equipment. Also learn how to cook healthy yet tasty meals and keep junk food out of the house, not only for your overweight child, but also for the entire family. This will ensure that your whole family maintains a healthy weight and promotes weight loss habits.

Weight Loss on the Go

Weight Loss on the Go

If you’re a very busy person, you might find it difficult to lose weight. However, because maintaining a healthy weight is so important, it is crucial to learn ways to fit weight loss into your lifestyle, no matter how busy you may be. If you’re constantly on the god, you can use the following tips for staying in control of your weight.

First, have a plan for weight loss. If you don’t, you will be tempted to start your weight loss “tomorrow,” and for many people, tomorrow never quite get to today. Start by setting goals that you can actually achieve with some work, but which are not to easy to complete. Talk to your doctor or a professional trainer to figure out how to meet your weight loss needs.

It is also a great idea to consider your food choices on a daily basis. If you feel as though you have no time for anything more than fast food for lunch during the day, consider healthy choices, like subs instead of burgers and water instead of soda. The best choice is to bring a packed lunch every day instead. This will save you money and really doesn’t take much time to prepare in the morning. Find a healthy lunchmeat and low-fat cheese combination that you love, or purchase ready-to-go salad that you can take with you to work.

One relatively simple thing you can do to really cut back on calories without lots of time or effort is think about your drinks. First, cut back on all alcoholic beverages. If you like to go out to happy hour, have one drink instead of two, or switch to diet options. If you feel pressured to drink on the weekends, simply offer to be the designated driver. Alcohol isn’t the only thing you should consider, however. You should also think about drinking fewer beverages with lots of sugar.
Trade your coffee in the morning for green tea. Replace sodas with carbonated flavored waters. Simply cut back on your intake of beverages all together, and drink water. Doing this alone will allow you to shed pounds, especially if you usually drink a lot of non-water beverages during the day.

Don’t fall into the mindset that you are too busy to lose weight. Weight loss is important for absolutely everyone, including you. When you take care of your weight, you will be a healthier person in general, which leads to less down time due to illness and a longer lifespan.

Also remember to work out your back muscles, which will help to improve your posture. Slumping causes your abdominal muscles to weaken and looks sloppy overall. When you have stronger back muscles, you will be more likely to stand up straight, looking immediately thinner as a result. Your doctor should be able to give you tips about improving your posture.

Of course, if you want to be able to see the muscles that you are building, it is important to eat a healthy diet as well. Switching to low-fat and low-carbohydrates diet choices will help you instantly see results, and this includes skipping the alcohol, which really does cause a beer belly. Slow down when you eat to help your tummy troubles as well and leave the carbonation and artificial sweeteners out of your diet. Eating quickly will cause your to swallow air, and certain products cause intestinal gas, which will immediately make you look bloated.

In general, don’t worry about what a scale says - simply look in the mirror to see results. Set weight loss goals for yourself and practice a healthy lifestyles and it shouldn’t be difficult for you to tone your tummy in time for the warmer weather.

Binge Eating - Practicing Control for Weight Loss

Binge Eating - Practicing Control for Weight Loss

There are a number of very dangerous eating disorders that effect people of all ages, races, sexes, and economic statuses. While you may hear a lot in the news about anorexia and bulimia, one of the lesser-known weight loss disasters sweeping the nation is binge eating. Binge eating is very bad for your body and can cause heart disease, diabetes, and a number of other medical conditions, which actually could result in death. Therefore, it is important to learn about binge eating and to seek help immediately if you think this could be a problem for you.

Binge eating is basically a form of overeating at its worst. There are times when we all overindulge in good foods, such as at a holiday or when eating out at a restaurant. However, a binge eater faces overeating problems more than a few times a week. Binge eaters often find themselves overweight and unhappy, which can make the situation worse.

Binge eaters will overeat to the extent that they feel sick. In many cases, they will eat thousands of calories in one sitting, and many of the foods they are eating are not very nutritional and include comfort foods. Binge eaters may enjoy sweet or savory foods, and may also have a problem with alcohol. In one day, a binge eater may eat more than the normal person will eat in a week. Foods that a person will binge eat vary and can even change for a particular binge eater from day to day.

Unlike people who are suffering from bulimia, binge eaters will not induce vomiting in order to rid themselves of the food they’ve eaten. Therefore, binge eaters tend to be overweight. In some cases, a binge eater may eat non-stop for an entire day, but then spend the next three or four days starving him- or herself and exercising vigorously in order to stay at the same weight if possible.

Binge eating goes hand in hand with a number of other physical diseases, but it can also effect a personal mentally and emotionally. Man binge eaters star because they turn to food for comfort as a way to work out their problems, which is unhealthy.


Binge eaters are also usually very emotionally charged about their body weight and may experience depression because of it, regardless of if they are overweight or not. Binge eating is not only dangerous for the binge eater, but can affect everyone in his or her life. If you or someone you know is suffering from this disease, it is important to seek help as soon as possible. This is not a good way to lose weight.

Weight Loss and Your Family

Weight Loss and Your Family

Many people are trying to lose weight, but have you ever considered losing weight as a family ? Typically, when one member of the family is not eating healthy foods, the rest of the family is also participating in unhealthy behaviors. Working together as a family to lose weight can be the push you need to actually do it. After all, you want what is best for your family, right ?

Start by planning healthy meals together. Working as a family, you can split up the responsibilities. For example, have your spouse go grocery shopping, while you cook and your children do the dishes. Whenever you cook a healthy meal, make extras and take that along to work the next day instead of relying on take-out and fast food. Cooking together also helps you bond and can teach both you and your children valuable life skills.

As a family, join a gym as well. Sometimes there is a family discount if three or more members of a household join the same gym, and often the facilities found here are better than any exercising machines you may have at home. As a family, you can also play tennis or racquetball together or motivate one another to work out. Some gyms even have fun family resources, like family softball leagues and indoor swimming pools.

When you want to lose weight, working together as a family to set goals can also work really well. Setting goals is important for any weight loss program, but as a family you can work together to push one another. Some husband and wife teams even like some friendly competition when losing weight.


For example, challenge your spouse to prepare for a marathon, train together, and then compete during the actual race to see who finishes first or finishes the most of the race.

No matter how much weight you want to lose, it is always easier to do so when you have people to help you along the way. Your family is perfect for this because you live together and already know one another’s eating and work out habits. When you lose weight together, you have a great chance to bond as well, providing strong family ties and better relationships in general.


Losing weight is never easy, but with a little help from your family members, all of your weight loss goals can definitely be achieved one by one.

Know Your Rights When Discussing Adoption

Know Your Rights When Discussing Adoption

When adopting a child you will find that you are creating a whole new world for them to live in. You will want to research all of the rights that you have as an adoptive parent. You may know all the different rights of parents, but when it comes to adoptive parents the rights are different.

When it comes to adopting a child, you might not know it, but you are adopting a child for life and you are having the same rights that any other parent is going to have. You aren’t the child’s parent until all the paperwork has been filed and the biological parents have given up their rights. You have every right that any other parent has, and there is nothing that can take that away. Remember, when the adoption is final, you are going to be responsible for the child for the rest of your or their life. You are never going to be apart from your child once you have adopted them.

Remember though that there might be differences between the time frames. If you are considering adopting, there might be a process in which the birth parent is considering whether or not to give you the rights to their child, and when you don’t know whether or not you will be considered, you might feel that you have every right in the world, but you don’t.


When it comes to going through the adoption, you really don’t have any rights over the child until everything is said and done ... It all depends on what kind of adoption you are pursuing and what kind of adopting process you re going through.

During a waiting period to adopt, you and your partner may have no rights to the child. If you are considering adoption, there might be a waiting period in which you might not know whether or not you are going to get a certain child, and if that child’s parent decides that they don’t want to give it up for adoption, you are going to have to wait until a new child is available.

If you are at the point where you know that adoption is right for you, you will want to sign the papers and be given full custody of the child. Once you are the proud parents of the child you will find that there aren’t any reasons for your child to be taken away from you. Once the whole experience is over and you have signed the papers, you will find that you are now the parents of someone.

The Energy of Acupuncture

The Energy of Acupuncture

When it comes to acupuncture, you will find that there are basic concepts that you have to understand in order to learn the entire process known as “qi”. Qi happens to the energy of the body. Anything negative that you body may go through, like disease or illness, is because your Qi is disrupted.
When it comes to the stimulation that you will get from Acupuncture, you will find that there are needles that are placed in specific points of the body so that the Qi flow can be affected.

An acupuncturist is someone who uses the use of the needles to heal or unblock your qi flow. The concepts of the qi is difficult for most beginners, but it can be broken into easily understand concepts that you can learn one at a time.

First, it is important to note there are five main types of qi energy : Qi, Jing, Xue, Jin Ye, and Shen. Qi can be roughly translated to “matter-energy.” It causes the movements in the universe, but it is a vital part of your own good health. Some equate the Qi to the soul. Jing can be most closely translated to “essence” in the English language, but there are no exact words in Western terms that mean Jing. When it come to Jing, it is something that is inherited like DNA and then we are able to create out own by eating certain foods and through the air that we breath. Jing, then can be somewhat called “health,” since we genetically receive some health predisposition, but also effect our own health and the health of our children with our lifestyle choices.

Literally meaning blood, Xue is the liquid that flows in the blood and through the Qi or energy of the body. The health of the two is dependent on one another. Jin Ye is also a tangible idea - bodily fluids. These include saliva, milk, tears, genital secretions, sweat, stomach fluids, and other liquids of the body. Finally, Shen is simply just the spirit of the body. Traditionally, your spirit is located in your heart.

Acupuncture is a way that you can treat the energies and to help create a healthy body. The energies are important since that help us develop body heat, defend illness, grow and develop, control the body’s blood and organs, transform, and break down the body’s metabolism. If you get acupuncture done on a regular basis, then you will be able to turn all of your negativity in your Qi to be released.

There are people who have believed that it works to relieve the pain and that is the reason why they have been able to find the relief.


Before you go out finding an acupuncturist, you may want to speak with your family doctor and see what they think about the acupuncture. They will give you all the information that you need to find a certified acupuncture practitioner, but also about all the procedures.
