Running has been mine Avenue to relieve stress, both physical and mental. There should be no excuse not to run or walk at least three or four days per week.

I feel most people are too dependent on others for fulfillment. When those elements are no longer around, individuals without independence begin to break-down and succumb to depression. This is in friendship, marriage, and just overall need for social interaction. My suggestion is to always learn to be independent, learn to respect yourself, and relish in those times with other people. But your primary source of gratification should not be other people, because friends move on and when you leave the house, you don't have the same support structure that you once had.

Parents are equally responsible for obesity in their children. With the exception  of obesity that is medically related, I do feel that too many families are eating fast food and too much processed foods.
