Then when I was a teenager I went into modelling. I got to see the beautiful side of that business and I also saw the very ugly side of it. At 118 pounds, people would tell me that I was fat. I’m 5ft 7.5inches. When I was 108 pounds, I got all kinds of praise. So I ended up with eating disorders. I modelled between 15 and 18-years-old, and by the time I was 18 I felt suicidal because of the pressure of meeting everyone’s standards, and the idea that your whole worth is based on the way you look....

I think having children can seem so negative now. Many young people on social media only speak about the difficult side of parenting and it can come across as though being a mother sucks, but after my friend gave birth I could see it wasn’t like that at all. I realized having a baby was a beautiful thing. I met my husband when I was eighteen. I was working at a restaurant where he tended bar and we just really hit it off....

The video shared by TikTok user Nylah shows one kitten carefully approaching the other sitting in a cat carrier bag, while a caption overlaid on the video reads: “My pawrents came home with a surprise for me…a new friend.” The cat is seen poking its head closer to the bag, while another overlaid caption reads: “At first I wasn’t so happy about the idea,” before the pet at one point makes a hissing gesture towards the new feline friend....

He certainly has reason to celebrate. After months of obscurity, Edwards’s message–part populist harangue against an economically and socially divided America, part unifying vision of hope–finally seems to be resonating with voters. He has a Clintonesque ability to convey empathy to those he meets and an appealing life story as a mill worker’s son and perennial underdog. With his eye-crinkling smile and relentless positivity, Edwards has also managed to raise himself above the unseemly sniping that has occurred between some of his fellow contenders....

The New York City FC coach has plenty of international experience, winning a World Cup with France in 1998 and going to a final against Italy in 2006. NYCFC 13/2 to win MLS Cup Since moving into the coaching ranks, Vieira had success with the Manchester City youth side before moving onto NYCFC in MLS, where he’s led the team to back-to-back postseason appearances. Meanwhile, the U.S. suffered a disastrous loss to Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday, leading to the country’s elimination from the 2018 World Cup....

The Germany international is considered to be one of the finest playmakers in world football, with his creative ability beyond question. He is, however, not renowned for his work rate or a desire to get stuck in when the studs are flying. Ozil responds to transfer speculation The 28-year-old admits as much, with his greatest contribution made when on the ball rather than looking to win it back. He told Sport Bild: “I’m not the type of player to chase after the ball the whole time, everyone knows that....

I remember one situation in particular that occurred in 2020. I was taking an elderly woman’s order in the drive-through. She was very sweet, but there was a car behind her with a lady inside who was honking her car and giving me a dirty look. I remained professional and continued to take this elderly woman’s order because she had not finished yet. Once it was this other customer’s turn to order, she was extremely upset because she felt like I had taken a long time talking to the elderly woman....

Viewers are now invested in the multipart saga, which began with some seemingly innocuous take-out menus and soon involved secretly-vacant units, abandoned cars, and a message from a former tenant. The first clip alone has racked up over 1.5 million views since it was posted late last month, along with over 234,000 likes and 3,000 comments. Cody’s first video began a few days after a worker from a local restaurant came and placed paper take-out menus in the crack of each unit’s front door....

Opioids weren’t just the evil that took my loved ones; drugs were also the family business. It would be years before I discovered that handling heroin would be the first step into my addiction. But the deck always seemed stacked against me and I remember asking myself, “What makes me special enough to be different?” Nothing, I thought. Growing up in Chicago, my beloved grandmother raised me from a young age as my mother dealt with personal challenges, eventually passing away from complications caused by AIDS....

Even as a young surgeon I was interested in the “new.” In Pittsburgh, we were doing more heart transplants than anyone in the country, fortified with some of the newest medicines. Renowned surgeon Dr. Thomas Starzl had come to Pittsburgh, where I was working, and made us feel that we could do more than most people would think they could ever do. We took off in our own little world; the world of hearts....

The world-record transfer that brought the Brazilian to Parc des Princes was surrounded by reports of a falling out with the Catalan supremo. Neymar 11/1 to be CL top scorer Bartomeu had stated after the deal was done that the club had “trusted too much” in Neymar and his father, words that Neymar slammed as a “joke” on social media. But speaking at the Best FIFA Football Awards in London, the PSG man offered an olive branch to his adversary....

I had spent 20 years working in offshore finance and then at the age of 39 I decided to study for an A-Level in Law, the U.K. equivalent of an AP examination. It served me well because I was able to scrutinise legislation and interpret it. I could turn the tables and apply it on complaints to get the right outcome. I just seem to have a natural aptitude for it....

Nainggolan: Inter? I want Roma stay The Blues were keen on taking the Belgium international to Stamford Bridge shortly after welcoming their Italian coach to the helm. Nainggolan was not interest in leaving Serie A for the Premier League at that stage and shunned the advances from England. Speculation has continued to suggest that the 29-year-old remains a top target for Chelsea, but he has consistently dismissed the idea and believes he may have burned a bridge to London....

Dark clouds of uncertainty continue to hang heavy over the Emirates Stadium, with various issues in north London that are yet to be resolved. Much sought-after contract extensions are yet to be agreed with key men Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, while talk of fresh terms for Wenger is irritating certain sections of a disgruntled fan base. ‘Arsenal need more players like Alexis’ Protests against the Frenchman’s reign have now been carried out at home and away games, with the action taken in the street and the sky....

Antonio Conte’s men charged back in the second half after entering the break 1-0 down to Antoine Griezmann’s penalty. Alvaro Morata levelled the scores near the hour mark, before Michy Batshuayi swooped deep into injury time to seal a 2-1 Champions League triumph at the Wanda Metropolitana. But, while Chelsea left it extremely late to take all three points, Gerrard insists that it was fair reward for a fine attacking display....

The striker’s goalscoring exploits for club and country since his breakthrough at Spurs have earned attention from the Champions League holders, but chairman Daniel Levy is said to be demanding £200 million for him. 11/5 for Brighton & Stoke to draw Mauricio Pochettino’s side have already beaten Madrid this season and sit three points ahead of them in their Champions League group amid a bright start to their season....

As a teenager and in my early 20s I had always been the “boring one.” I often faded into the background on nights out with friends. In retrospect, I wasn’t fully exploring all the shenanigans I should have been getting up to in my late teens and early twenties, until my mid-twenties onwards. So, when I began drinking at the age of 23, I felt I was making up for “lost time....

I walked up to him and asked if he could turn the power back on, as my baby’s milk was going to spoil. He took pity on me and said, “I can act like I missed it, but they will be back.” When I walked back to my apartment, the power was back on. But that was the moment where I thought: I went to college, I graduated, I tried to be a good person....

The centre-back was left out of Saturday’s 3-2 win over Southampton because he questioned the Blues’ inability to hold on to a lead in the wake of their previous draw with West Ham. It is understood the Germany international will not be rested for Thursday’s trip to Burnley or Sunday’s FA Cup game against Southampton. Instead, Rudiger believes he is being punished because of a misunderstanding as his comments were directed to the team as opposed to his coach....

With Neymar signing a lucrative agreement with Paris Saint-Germain upon becoming the world’s most expensive signing and Lionel Messi recently extending his own Barcelona deal, reports had suggested that Ronaldo would seek earning parity with the two superstars. Real Madrid 14/5 to win La Liga The striker, however, who scored Madrid’s only goal at Wembley in a 3-1 reverse , rubbished claims he was pressuring the Merengue board for a raise....
