Signs You Live With A Meth User
I originally wrote a similar article detailing my 15-year life with a meth user. I have yet to post it. While I still plan to post that at some point, I found it too difficult to publish at this point. If you’ve lived with a meth user, you know how emotionally, physically, and mentally draining it can be. So for the time being, I will compromise with myself and post a more objective description of meth use.I’ve read other sites, and sometimes I get the idea these “experts” have never lived with a meth user through the worst of it. I don’t write this with the expertise of a doctor who has studied patients and run tests. … Read entire article »

Watch Your Fat By Not Watching It
Eating a low-fat diet is a no-brainer if you are keeping your calories in check. A filling 300-calorie meal will almost certainly be low in fat. And let’s not forget that fat is not always a bad thing. Diets rich in monounsaturated fats have produced weight loss. My first diet consisted of a peanut butter sandwich almost every day (who says they’re just for kids?). Peanuts are high in monounsaturated fat, which is part of a healthy diet. Saturated fats are the ones to avoid, and if you notice a food is very high in saturated fat, you should probably limit your intake of that particular food. Oh, and if you want one of those peanut butter sandwiches, hold the jelly and be sure to use whole wheat bread. Dietary fat … Read entire article »

Coping with Physical Flaws
You’re not perfect. No one is – even that hottie at the bar last night! Many of our flaws are something we have power over – smoking, weight loss, or a bad temper. But what about something you don’t have control over, such as a disability or even a physical feature you don’t like?These types of flaws – the ones we can’t control – are really the things that frame who we are, because how we deal with it shows the world who we are. Let me use an example… You have two men who are 35 years old and they’re both losing their hair. Guy #1 does everything he can to hide it. He grows his hair, he uses sprays, he wears hats – basically he’s embarrassed by it. … Read entire article »

Finding the Answers You Need
There are a lot of new-age type thinkers out there saying that you can positively think yourself into any situation you want. While I firmly believe a positive attitude will take you far in life, I cringe at the thought of people thinking they can will their way into wealth and happiness. If that were the case, there’d be no poor or unhappy people on the planet. Sure you can believe you’ll be a billionaire and you can try to get there by sheer will, but chances are you’ll fail. So then what? Did you fail because of a lack of will? Not at all. And the people selling these ideas – they know it. If you ever see someone peddling a “system” or especially some luring “secret” to success, … Read entire article »
