Another romantic act is that of touching ofrepparttar face or hair of another. Mothers with small children will strokerepparttar 130596 child’s hair as they are falling asleep, and when one person strokes another’s hair or face, it evokesrepparttar 130597 security in these earliest exchanges with another human being.

Finally,repparttar 130598 act of talking gets a lot of publicity in today’s world. The ways “Mars” and “Venus” communicate or fail to communicate has been picked apart torepparttar 130599 marrow insiderepparttar 130600 bone. However, one thing I think that all this understanding has missed is how close really talking with each other can make both partners feel.

Anyone who’s ever been married knows how easy it is to get caught up inrepparttar 130601 six word sentences, repeated every night and called communication. “How was your day?” “Fine.” “You get that account closed out?” “Yeah.” You know this conversation. If you’ve ever been married, you’ve probably had this conversation.

However, this isn’trepparttar 130602 kind of talking I mean. What I mean is getting underrepparttar 130603 surface of life to what’s going on in a person’s spirit. Those newly in love know how incredible it can feel to open up to another person and let them see into your soul and then believe you are accepted for who you really are—rather than forrepparttar 130604 mask you showrepparttar 130605 outside world. Not only that, but we all know someone we would like to get to know better, someone we could spend hours with and never tire of asking them questions about who they are and how they got to this place.

That, I think, isrepparttar 130606 point. When we are first in love, we want to find out everything aboutrepparttar 130607 other person. We want to find out what they love, and what they hate, who they love, and who they hate. At some point, however, we begin to think we know everything aboutrepparttar 130608 other person, and we stop asking—and listening. This isrepparttar 130609 beginning ofrepparttar 130610 death of romance.

So, if you really want to feel close again, shut offrepparttar 130611 television, put downrepparttar 130612 book, forgetrepparttar 130613 laundry andrepparttar 130614 dishes forrepparttar 130615 night. Sit down, put your arm around your mate, and talk. Get to know each other again. I guarantee you both will feelrepparttar 130616 romance return. It doesn’t take a myriad of candles, flowers, and candy. It takes two people who want to spend time together and get to know one another better. That’s true romance.

Gaining and losing weight works according to some a simple biological principle. When you consume more energy inrepparttar form of food and drinks that your body uses each day you will gain weight. When you consume less energy inrepparttar 130594 form of food and drinks that your body requires each day you will lose weight.

Despite what some advertisers would have use believe, weight loss does not occur as a result of any ofrepparttar 130595 following:

§Supplements that will meltrepparttar 130596 fat while you sleep or while you wash §Exercises that don’t take any effort and cause no sweat §Unique food combinations that will allow you to eat what you want and still lose weight

In order to lose weight you will need to know approximately your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). Your RMR isrepparttar 130597 number of calories your body burns at rest in a 24 hour period. When your body gets about 500 less calories than it needs each day as a result of eating less or exercising more, you will lose one pound of weight per week. To illustrate how efficientrepparttar 130598 human body is in motion,repparttar 130599 average female would need to go for a brisk walk for 1.5 to 2.0 hours in order to burn 500 calories.

When you consume 500 calories a day more than your body’s requirements, you will gain approximately one pound a week! To illustrate how easy it is to gain weight, one 7oz bag of corn chips has approximately 1000 calories. If you ate a bag of corn chips every day in addition to three square meals its possible you could gain 2 pounds in a week!
