Those snacks in the pantry are often empty carbs with little nutritional value

But snacking can also go very wrong. Fortunately, the reverse is true, too: Snack the smart way, and you can lose weight. See, a lot of times, thirst is mistaken for hunger. For example, do you always order popcorn when you go to the movies? These foods tend to be healthier for you thanks to their fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Erlene:
I don't want to talk to my parents because they don't understand how he is and I just don't want to tattle-tale if he's accidentally swearing or something.

Erlene:
How do I get close to him when he is not emotionally mature, going down a path that I don't want to go down, have nothing in common, and he does video games all the time?

Erlene:
Sometimes I want to cry because I miss my big brother.

Erlene:
Constantly sending me mixed messages.

Erlene:
Again, sometimes he gives me gifts or pays for lunch, but we never have anything to talk about and he's just plain rude.
(31 October 2016)

Erlene:
He plays video games all the time (and I know this seems weird, but our family we are very against swearing and his friends in the video games swear, and even if he tries not to sometimes he accidentally swears) and hardly ever spends time with me.

Erlene:
He relies on me whenever he gets upset, but other than that he never has my back or anything.
(31 October 2016)

Erlene:
I can never tell him how I feel.
(31 October 2016)

Erlene:
Like best friends, inseparable, etc... Now, it's just not the same... We aren't best friends anymore, he's not as nice, and we've just drifted apart.

Erlene:
Then, two years ago, I guess he matured and we started to get really close.
