Dieting and traveling
Dieting and travelling has been a nightmare for me. We've been on the road for 2 weeks and having decent meals has been hard. We've managed a few IHOPs for breakfast so I can have something small and healthy, but later meals are harder to stay away from fast food and IHOP gets repetative. We occasionally have a microwave…

Food intolerances
How many of you have developed food intolerances to something that you previously loved? How do you change your mindset to not eat those foods and also not miss those foods?

You mean I get to eat MORE ice cream?!
