Hi,

Try this website

www.waisays.com and go to the wai diet or her book www.freeacnebook.com

Although I havent need to lose weigh or desired to (seemed to have lost my baby weight already :D ) I have started doing this diet and it is absolutely fantastic. You shouldnt see it as a diet in the conventional way. You have a diet now, but its obviously not the one you want. Anyway this is a really good healthy eating choice and I have tonnes of energy and feel fantastic.

Yeah it definitely makes you realise what is important....and now, when I see people placing importance of things like drinking and going out clubbing (which is typical of people my age in England) it just makes me realise how delusional they are. My mother passed away recently too and that has also made me realise how important family is. I much prefer spending time with them and my son than anything.

I am 36 weeks and 2 days today...I have been documenting my growth with pictures...I look back at when I was 24 weeks (when I thought I was huge) and laugh! Seriously..I was tiny..it is amazing (check out my pictures to see the progress!).

I think what got me was that when I hit 11/12 weeks - my life changed forever. I had bad morning sickness and was so tired, I couldn't go to work. I have always been active - running/yogaing and gyming it, and from that point I couldn't do those things anymore. I have been so inactive, compared what I used to do. Also stopping working/studying and focusing on just a baby and relaxing were also hard for me. I think having to stop and slow down, was really hard. I am always so rushed and all over the place and making the transition has been a huge struggle. The thing is, it is the best thing that could happen to me. I am now allowing myself to do things at a much slower pace, and enjoy life - instead of stressing I need to sort my career out in the next two years or stupid things that don't need to be reached at this second. My days are much more relaxed and so is my head. So it has worked out the best for me to be forced into a position of resting.

I was always eager in the beginning to at least look like I was showing..and now I am as big as I am...it is is ok - I have aches and pains, I have started getting stretch marks...but they don't bother me because of the little life that is inside of me.

TV: How much is too much? by Jennifer Pearson

I intend not to have TV involved in my house at all when my son is born - in the sense of day time TV. He won't be watching that.

However, videos - documentaries etc I would allow, but they would be ocassional. I really don't like programmes like Barney and TellyTubbies and do not wish him to watch them - if I do put something on, it'll be a wildlife programme or something similar. But as for TV channels - I just wouldn't. I think it discourages from other things, like using their imagination etc. Just think how you feel when you sit in front of the TV - I feel like I use it to zone out and I don't really achieve anything in front of it.

Plus I prefer life without one...I find it much more relaxing in a way.

Breastfeeding past a year: what is the problem??? by Amanda C.

I am pregnant and will be breastfeeding when my little one is ready to pop up.

I find it very upsetting that so many people have such a negative attitude towards it and also a very selfish one.

For instance, I have even heard people say 'Oh that is too much hard work, breast feeding, so I never bothered'. I mean OMG!!!!!!!! It is the best source of nutrition for your child! Children are hard work, but that doesn't mean you should cut corners. I am so unwilling to use formula its unreal. (Why formula should be banned: http://www.youngerthanyourage.com/13/breastfeeding.htm).

I also would love to breastfeed for the first two years and find it upsetting that you have people telling you it does psychological damage and that you shouldn't be feeding for so long.

Why is everything so unnatural these days? It makes me sick.

The Smoking Ban by S V.

I find it funny how smokers moan that they have to just walk outside to have a cigarette.

I just had a recent discussion about this on another forum.

Someone posed this question:

So, why is it not OK to force non-smokers to go outside, but it is OK to force smokers to go outside?

I am really glad about the ban, but that question made me see things a lot differently in terms of freedom. The thing is I think it is for the greater good, because smokers are lazy and inconsiderate - they may start off with good intentions, but because its a 'nuisance' to them they will eventually slip into no caring.

I just think having a ban is helpful because then you don't segregate people into smokers and non smokers, if people really don't want to be around it.

I think its nice :D

Smoking bans and tax increases by Deborah B.

I am sure the extra money spent on health care is to accommodate the amount of smokers/passive smoke victims who end up in hospital with some condition, other than those 'lazy bums' you are talking about.

As for smoking at work - I think it is entirely fair. Why should your habit be accommodated?

In England, it really bothers me how often smokers go outside for a five minute break - they seem to get so much more breaks than non-smokers, who don't and can't take those extra breaks like they do. How is that fair?

I really like the ban in England in terms of restaurants etc - As you said you don't like smoke around your kids. I don't think smokers should be accommodated though when they can simply step outside.
