Pillow Talk: Aiming for a Healthy Relationship
We all have an idea of what constitutes a healthy relationship, what it entails and who it's with. But why, then, do so many people knowingly get involved in unhealthy relationships? Before diving head-first into a new relationship, it's worth paying close attention to a few tips.
What Are You Thankful For?
If there's ever a day to give thanks for the many successes in your life it's Thanksgiving. I'm endlessly thankful for my family, friends, and the fact that I have a career I enjoy and excel at and healthy relationships with my co-workers and boss.
So, most companies didn't dish out giant raises in 2008 or 2009, but we should all be grateful to be employed or on a career path that is rewarding.

You Asked: Friends With Benefits
Dear Sugar,
I have been in a "friends with benefits" relationship with this guy for a year now, but lately he's been acting differently and I think he may be sleeping with other women. I asked him about it and he said he has slept with other women but it hasn't been recent.
I don't believe him, because recently I've found evidence of other women being at his place (another woman's hair on the bathroom floor, another woman's business card on his living room floor, and a condom wrapper in the trashcan, which he claims was used by his cousin who came to visit him).

Health Food Obsession Gone Too Far: Orthorexia
If you're reading this site, chances are you're into eating healthy. While it's beneficial to be conscious about what you put in your mouth, it's not good to become so obsessed that your lifestyle goes from a healthy diet to an unhealthy fixation on a healthy diet. The condition is referred to as an eating disorder by some, known as orthorexia nervosa.
When You're a Pro, What Does Time Off Mean?
Runner Kara Goucher made her marathon debut a year ago in the Big Apple, but she's skipping the New York Marathon this year. At the Nike Running Summit, she explained she wasn't planning on racing again until Boston because she's doing some planning of a different nature — family planning.
When you're an elite runner, skipping an event doesn't go unnoticed, making it difficult to keep it a secret that you're trying to get pregnant.
