Why does my throat close when I eat sugar?
Sometimes when I take a bite of something particularly sugary (like a piece of hard candy) my throat closes up for a few seconds. It's extremely uncomfortable. It doesn't happen all of the time, but a lot of the time. What could this be? It also happens somethings with gum.

Facebook harassment... what would you do?
Okay, so here's a brief synopsis of what just went down on Facebook. I noticed on the sidebar thing that my friend had commented on an event's page. The thread that she commented in was started by some guy, we'll call him Bill. Bill was saying how the coffee shop was run by a bunch of "nazi piece of *kitten* c*ck suckers".…

Clicking jaw when chewing?
Hi, recently I've developed a sore jaw on my left side. The upper and lower part hurts (not all the time, and its pretty dull). It's hard for me to open my mouth all the way and it clicks near my ear when I open my mouth. Anybody know what this could be? A little background - I have an extremely small jaw and have had…

"real" men and "real" women
Something I see a lot of is people saying stuff like "REAL men like girls with curves" or "REAL women have curves". Now, the issue isn't with what someone might prefer in a man/woman.

Thoughts on maintaining?
I've hit a weight where I feel comfortable enough with myself that I can go out more often and do things (this is a huge accomplishment for me, I was missing important things like school before I lost some weight). I'm in at the low end of my "ideal weight range" for my height and body frame. However, on days I go above…

If you could pick one food...
If you could choose one food that would for the rest of your life be calorie free, carbs free, EVERYTHING free - basically something you could eat as much as you want of and not suffer and consequences... what would it be? For me it's a toss up between pasta with creamy, cheesy sauce or pizza!
