I didn't know where to put this, but I figured I'm not the only one suffering from stretch marks. I've had stretch marks since I was little (like seriously!)...I don't want to see them this much for the rest of my life...will they ever go away? Do they go away naturally after the skin has gotten back to were it isn't…

i'm extremely stressed out today
And what I want to do is eat. So far I've been able to fight off all of my cravings, but all I want to do is take an early day, rent a movie, order pizza, and eat ice cream. If I did this I would feel worse, and I know it, but when the stress hits, it's hard to really care. I wish money would fall from the sky, or at least…

McDonalds VS Subway
What I have came to realize in the last litte while is calorie counting can be confusing. I would normally assume that Subway would be better choice for calorie counting VS McDonalds. and when i sat down and looked that the options, I was incorrect...

(Humor) What's your most ridiculous fad diet?
I know I can't be alone in trying so many different diets. I tried to the "3 day before surgery" diet. My friend sent it to me. She said she read that many Dr.'s put their heart patients on a specific diet before surgery. Basically it's starvation and not a long term solution. I did Slim Fast for a week. I have to chew,…
