SALT!!
So, I've been very healthy for the past week (minus the crazy weekend), but I've realized that most of the "healthy" foods I eat have not many calories but excessive sodium, for example ... my cactus (nopales), I love them but they are super high in sodium. Will I gain weight? I know I can retain water, but how long after…

Not diet related...
So, I have a bf and I'm not getting what I need out of the relationship. Half the time he acts like I don't exist. He barely calls/texts; I'm always the one reaching out to him. I lived with him for one year and then he kicked me and my three girls out. We are now (my girls and I) renting a house. He wants to date for a…

Ready to cry
:sad: I have a long way to go. Either i'm being too strict only allowing myself 1200 calories, or my will-power totally sucks. I've been on this diet for 4 days now and haven't lost a fraction of a pound. Why? Because i keep going out with friends and then not being able to control myself. :angry: I went to Ruby Tuesdays…

Sleeping patterns
Before I started working out and eating right a few months ago I would not have a problem with my sleeping schedule being "off" on the weekends. But now my body doesn't seem to know what it means to sleep in (even if I've gone to bed at 3am). So I feel like I can't stay up late on weekend nights and have to be a party…
