1-Ok, ever since my mom's fiance died I have gained 5 pounds because I had to eat out some with my parents and I'm afraid if I gain more, I won't be able to fit into my clothes.  The smallest I can wear now is a size 6.  Is it the foods I'm eating.  All I'm eating is whole grain, fruits and veggies and any dairy I have is low fat/fat free.  I

1. Unfortunately, I'm not really the right person to ask about this one. I managed to lose weight simply by avoiding soda. O_o I'm going to say in my completely unprofessional opinion, that your body was in equilibrium beforehand. When you took in that high calorie food, that was obviously disrupted, and now you're still stuck in equilibrium with a bit more weight. So, well, break it a little bit. It'll probably be a much more gradual process going back down, but you should be able to handle it.

2. Well, the internet is kind of a filter for everything. Even harsh criticism is somewhat blunted because you're not in the same room physically talking to the person. All that said though, this is how you need to view criticism. It's there to help you. If the person is being nice, that's all well and good. If they're being mean, cut through the bullshit and focus on what they're really saying. Criticism is a part of life, no matter how good a job we do, we're not going to be perfect and there's always someone that can point out the flaws. And I know it's hard for you, but you can do it, I got faith in you. :)

3. Here's what I'd say you should do. Practice your artwork in your spare time; sure, you might not be the best at it, but no one starts off being the best. You've got to get into it and experiment for yourself. If you don't feel comfortable showing others your work, well you've got a lot of friends right here. And if that's what you really want to do with your life, then I think you should give it the best shot you can.

Yes, people are mean but I was reffering to the ones who said I shoudn't be in art and it really upset me.
