There were 150 people who came for the test and only 13 got selected for various roles. The director suggested all thirteen of us to go on a diet to suit our characters. We were asked to come after dieting for a month. But to our surprise none of us showed any difference. The reason was we all broke our diets. What are the reasons that make people break their diet?

A. there's an aborigine tribe in Australia that it is a custom that the women feed their men for a month every year with "all you can eat" style. they eat much much more then they are used too. after that month , it doesn't take long until they come back to their normal size. that is because the body is not fooled so easily. his has it ways to leave you in your own weight. one of them is make it very very tough to maintain diet.

Q. Please tell me if i should break up with my boyfriend and if he is right. I am 25 and in a relationship which I feel is almost on the verge of breaking up. My boyfriend keeps accusing me of not concentrating on what he is telling me and that I am very distracted and that I buy things on an impulse. I do admit that I act very recklessly and do not think before I do anything. I often accused my boyfriend of not being true to me and my boyfriend says that I am hallucinating. Please tell me if I should break up with my boyfriend and if he is right.

A. no one can give you a direct advise like that, without seeing the whole picture anyway. you say you are Bipolar right? (you tagged it down...) if so it sounds like you are off balance and might check things out with your therapist... it sounds like a mania episode, i guess that you feel it too or else you wouldn't have mentioned it yourself.
