Diets: 6 Flower Petals (Psychological basics)

The diet "6 flower petals" owes its name to the idea proposed by its author. Anna Yuhanson believes that even the most efficient weight loss program will be no use if it depresses the woman and causes her considerable discomfort. She suggests drawing a flower of six petals to those who want to go on this diet and fixing it at a visible place like a fridge in the kitchen. As you proceed just put down the number of grammes you have lost onto the petal and tear it off with pleasure. That is going to be an additional stimulus and turn an ordinarily dull and hard process into a kind of a game.  

Development of a one-year-old!

Your little one is growing up. It happens so quickly that I for one beg the time to slow down a bit so that I could enjoy every moment with that pretty laughing girl of mine! There are lots of activities we do together every day, some of them have already been described earlier. However each day I look for something new to entertain and develop my younger daughter. Here are some hints given by a psychologist.

When the Kid Is Ill: Urticaria (Pink Rash)

The kid`s health... Can there be anything more important than that? - Nothing. So, every mom tends to be overconcerned about each small sign that might seem not normal. Some four or five years ago when my elder daughter was sick there appeared lots of pink spots all over her body. The first idea that came to my mind was that it was chickenpox since the spots were quite a lot. I phoned our pediatrician who recommended watching the spots and the girl`s condition carefully within an hour. Very soon I realised I`d been wrong about Chickenpox, for the spots were too vast. I considered everything that had been happening earlier that day and found that an hour earlier I had given my daughter a new syrup against fever. Immediately I applied an antihistamine gel onto the large pink spots. By the time our pediatrician arrived the spots had nearly disappeared. I was explained that it was Urticaria.

Diets: 6 Flower Petals

A Sweden nutritionist Anna Uhanson developed this diet system. It is based on the main principles of the so-called monodiets.  According to those on the diet it takes away some 0.5-0.8 kg a day.
The diet spans 6 days - 6 monodiets - 6 flower petals. During these days you should stick to 6 monodiets following each other in a certain order:
Day One - a fish diet;
Day Two - a vegetable diet;
Day Three - a chicken diet;
Day Four - a cereal diet;
Day Five - a curd diet;
Day Six - a fruit diet.
This scheme works due to the fact that during the diet proteins do not mix with carbohydrates thus allowing fats to be split.  The diet monotonicity fosters the process of losing weight because our stomach awaiting the new food has to work idly and so that to get the energy it has to make use of its own fat reserves. At the same time our body cannot get used to the food and switch on the energy-storing mode, that is common in the long term monodiets. So you loose weight every day. 
According to the studies held by the European Weight Loss Centre, a monodiet lasting for less than 25 hours helps burn fat most actively. You do not feel hungry, so it is much easier to stand it.

Words that touch so deeply: Adam at Eve`s Grave

Wheresoever she was, THERE was Eden.

Words that touch so deeply: Eve`s Prayer (by Mark Twain)

It is my prayer, it is my longing, that we may pass from this life together--a longing which shall never perish from the earth, but shall have place in the heart of every wife that loves, until the end of time; and it shall be called by my name.
But if one of us must go first, it is my prayer that it shall be I; for he is strong, I am weak, I am not so necessary to him as he is to me--life without him would not be life; now could I endure it? This prayer is also immortal, and will not cease from being offered up while my race continues. I am the first wife; and in the last wife I shall be repeated.

Words that touch so deeply...

HE and SHE
By Mandy Howard

He laid quietly, softly breathing, warm and safe.
He lay close enough to her to feel the warmth of her breath.
With his eyes closed he thought of her, and tried to understand her. She was like the whole world.
When he came from the darkness she was the only one he knew.
He recognized her smell, and her voice, and even the way she moved, he was safe with her. She was always nearby, all he ever had to do was call, and she would come, she would hold him close, and kiss him she would make the world feel right.
She rarely went away, for very long, and always came back, so glad to see him.
He lay there quietly and she was so close just the way he liked it. She began to roll away, he called for her, and she smiled.
She rolled back and kissed his forehead softly, "I'll be right back," she promised.
He laid and watched for her return, after a moment he got frightened and almost called for her. Then she returned, and leaned over him, She again kissed his forehead, and smiling she whispered, "It's ok baby boy, Mommy is
here, and she loves you"
He wanted to answer, to tell her his feeling, but he couldn't make himself
understood. He softly curled the corners of his lips and smiled as he struggled for the words. He wanted to make them as sweet and soft as her words, but all that came out was a tiny noise that meant nothing. He wanted to cry out; no matter how he tried he couldn't tell her his feelings.
How would she ever know how he loved her, he tried once more in vain to make the words come out. It was only then that he noticed her smile, at each soft noise he failed to make into a word and each tiny smile he gave her she smiled.
His heart grew warm, and he slowly drifted off to sleep knowing that she
knew what he meant.
