Is this some kind of joke all of the odds are true and the evens are all false 
is this a joke if so try harder next time
I’m going through a lot with this… I’m at the size where I can hardly find anything in the juniors section. They top out at 15 if I can even find that. I’m about a 16-17. I don’t look big but my behind decides my pant size for me.
A lot of cheaper places like Target have sizes that go up to 17 and further, but they do not build jeans for fuller women. They take the same pattern from size 0’s and use them for 17 and up (super low rise). It allows the inevitable "muffin top". Anyway..
So I’ve tried the women’s section, and when I can find a jean that is small enough for me where they won’t fall off, they’re short on me, lack any boot cut shape at all, they’re straight, with no embellishments and baggy in all the wrong places.. not to mention the rise is like granny pants.
I’m discouraged to say the least… after 4 hours of shopping… nothing. I am forced to the notion that designers are prejudice against the larger women that haven’t had children yet.
Yes, I’m starting a diet and exercise program, but sadly I still need to be clothed and in a manner that fits my age.. I’m 23 and happily engaged to a wonderful man that doesn’t seem to understand why tears come to my eyes when I go clothes shopping. He tells me I’m beautiful but it’s hard to think that I am when he can put on anything he wants to and fit in it, and I’m stuck with whatever I happen to find that will fit.
Are there any stores that I could go to that are relatively easy to find in my area? I live in North Texas
Thanks!!
try torrid or lane bryant perhaps, and I think macys should have a plus size section
So, I recently began eating healthier and started a regular exercise of some cardio, crunches, and push-ups. On average, how many weeks does it take to start seeing results? Or, months? Thanks in advance!
It really all depends on the amount of calories you eat and how much you work out. I’m sorry but your description is vague! I don’t know what healthier means and what "some" exercise means, but I want to help you so I will tell you that you should weigh yourself once a week, in the morning, without clothes, before you have eaten for the day. Results will come soon if you are good about your eating and exercising- don’t get frustrated if you don’t see results ASAP or some weeks you weigh the same as the week before. It’s a process, and it’s all about feeling good about yourself in the end! Try not to lose more than 2 lbs a week. More than that is unhealthy, and plus the rapid body change will make it very easy for you to gain the weight back, and without much effort at all. Good luck! At about 5 lbs you should see/feel the difference a tiny bit! Don’t rush it- just keep up the good work and you will get the results you deserve if indeed you do deserve them! Hope I could help! My mother is a master dieter and I used to be motivated like you and have the same curiosity. x
Do you think you could help me with my question please?

The spiritual care involves the acts of worship. The problem is that Iman cannot be translated into belief, nor Salaat into prayer, Nor Wadu into washing hand, face and feet nor; Sawm into fasting nor Sakat into charity nor Haii into pilgrimage to Mecca. T’hey are entitles in themselves.
A. Iman:The belief in God is the first and foremost important need for spiritual stability. Belief in God includes belief in his aU attributes, his angels, his books, the day of judgement, the heaven and hell and belief that - all good and bad is within his reach. Imam Rumi has called faith being superior to prayers. In illness, according to Imam Ghazai, the awareness of God increases and man becomes closer to God by realizing his own weakness. Without true belief, neither our prayer, nor charity, nor fasting nor pilgrimage will be accepted. The essence of belief is to rid ourselves of all false Gods around us, or within us, and to worship no one except God alone.
B.Salat: There are three health aspects of Salat
I. Wadu: Washing all the exposed areas of the body, hand, feet, face, mouth, nostrils etc. 5 times a day is a healthy preventive procedure. Hand washing is being emphasized more and more in hospitals now in order to prevent spread of germs. However non-Muslims did not know that hand- washing is so important - it has been ordered in Qu’ran (5:7) 1400 years ago. And for complete cleanliness bathing is advised (4:43)
2. Recitation of Quran: Has a healing effect on body, mind and heart. These healing effects are due to the effect of sound (Echo) and the meaning. The letter Alif resounds unto the Echoes to heart and the letter YA resounds unto Echoes to the pineal gland in the brain.
"O Mankind: There has come to you a direction front your Lord and a healing for the (disease) in your hearts - and for those who believe a guidance and mercy !!"
10:57
"We sent down in the Quran that which is healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss". The movement in Salaat are mild, uniform, and involve all muscles and joints. The caloric output is desired to keep the energy balance."
17:82
C: Zakat (Charity): The word itself means purification and growth. Here it is meant to imply the purification of legitimately earned wealth. Many of our crimes are committed with money or for love of money, and in the love of money one becomes violent in behavior.
And he is violent in his love of wealth:
100:8
In Islam the ownership of wealth belongs to God. We are the disposer of that trust. Therefore, this concept establishes peace at heart and our behavior in the loss of money or unusual gain, In either way, we thank God.
D. Sawm: The Islamic fasting: Islamic fasting is prescribed as way training of our mind, and body in self-restraints.
"O you who believe is prescribed to you, as it was prescribed
to those before you, so that you can learn self-restraint."
2:183
Therefore, during the period of fast one may not only get rid of nibbling food, coffee, smoking but also of anger and excessive sexual passion.
In fact, the fast not only gives rest to stomach but also stabilizes the secretion of harmones which control our behavior.
E. Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca): The morale is Prophet lbrahim’s submission and absolute surrender to God’s will, the opportunity for repentance, and the social and political gathering of the Ummah depecting brotherhood, and equality. However this can be used for programming and testing us for physical endurance, a requirement for all able men and women. The long walks, the heat, the sun, the thirst, the physical exercise, etc. is to remind us of the day of judgement. We should perform Hajj when young and physically well rather than wait for the old age. We should keep ourselves in good shape before and years after the Hajj.http://www.islam-usa.com/im6.html

Diet Pills.
Practically everywhere I go, I hear about some new miracle pill that aids weight loss. There are even entire stores devoted to them! Even if there is an abundance of different brands, how many of these products actually aid weight loss? The main issues with these products are their ridiculous prices, the effects they have on children, and the health problems caused by some of the pills.
Like psychic readings and astrology hot lines, the weight loss industry sells hope to desperate people. How much does selling "hope" get you yearly? $222 million for just the pills in the United States. With the exercise programs, equipment, and breakfast shakes added, the sum is $40 billion a year and it’s going up. So, how exactly did these numbers get so high? It starts off with either a despairing man or woman wishing to lose a few pounds. They read the promises on the bottles, see the gorgeous people on the displays, and ignorantly buy a months worth of pills, which ranges from $40-$70. Does that sounds like a good purchase?
Even though the prices are horrible the pills have to work and be risk free, right? If you thought yes, you’d be dead wrong. Many brands are either ineffective or barely work with harsh side effects. Consider the popular brand called "alli". On their official website, it states "alli blocks 25% of the fat you eat from being absorbed, and the fat that isn’t absorbed is harmlessly passed through your bowels. As a result, you may experience some bowel changes during the first few weeks of use". If you haven’t already guessed, that pretty much means you crap out 25% of the fat you ate that day, everyday you use alli. I also came across some information stating that a side effect is getting "gas with oily spotting". Basically, if you’re on alli, make sure not to wear white pants. Another bad part about alli is, even though it helps a little bit, once you stop taking alli you’re definitely going to gain the weight back. This product doesn’t help you change your eating habits, just blocks out fat. Once you’re off alli, the extra 25% of your fat intact is going to come back into your diet, making it a huge waste of your time and money.
Since diet pills are horrible for adults, what about children? Normally there are terrible side effects that come with diet pills for adults, let alone children! Children will get the same side effects, plus put their growth in danger. They need nutrients because they’re growing and people get nutrients from food. If the children are fat, you shouldn’t be restricting food but instead changing their diet to something more healthy and getting them to be more active. If doing that still does nothing for your child, there is one FDA approved weight loss drug used on children. It’s called xenical and it works by blocking fat absorption. Even though xenical is approved, children under twelve aren’t supposed to take it.
It’s evident that diet pills are not the best options for weight loss. Considering that one third of the adults and 20% of the children in America are obese, it doesn’t look like the diet pills are doing their job at keeping you healthy anyways. If you want to lose weight, it’s going to take time and hard effort. There are no get out of work quick schemes for losing weight. It’s all about dieting and exercise. I wish you good luck on losing weight!
Cut out the abbreviations. Like at the end: "it’s".
