can't live with them, can't live without them...
Ok, I’m in a sorority and I truly love my sisters to death. But sometimes its so hard to be around them.

Warning: Be successful but stay focused
First a confession: I have really screwed up over the last 14 days. I ate pizza, chocolate, cookies, multiple portions, Fried Foods, Alcohol. I’ll just say I kind of let go, a lot. Oh and on top of that I didn’t exercise either. I know it’s ok to go off every once in a while and have a cheat day. I did really well through…

Food, exercise, and depression
I think the main reason I have a habit of over-eating is depression. Somehow I just don't have enough "feel-good" chemicals in my body/brain and I spend a lot of time everyday just trying to feel better, through food, entertainment, etc. Now I'm trying to use exercise instead, to get some endorphins flowing, but it's not…
