what is the rudest thing?
Yesterday on my way into the airport in mexico, this guy patted my stomach and asked me if I was pregnant! Nothing like crying while you are getting your bags checked!

I write, "I should've drank water instead of lemonade at lunch" or "It was nice to have that ice cream as a…

Fell Off... Big time.
So last night, my fiance and I went to Olive Garden. I was prepared to eat what I liked, and still make it to my calorie count, or even 200 calories over would have been fine! I ate 1,430 calories OVER my daily intake. Oh man! My question is, how bad was this actually? Does it allow me not to reach THAT week? For MORE than…

PMS cure??
To all of you ladies... Do any of you have any tips/tricks for beating the monthly hormonal urges to pig out? I am doing the best I can, and am ok for the most part until I see food or start to eat a meal. I want to devour everything! I am working out extra hard to compensate for the overeating, but needless to say, I am…

That just isn't right...
I just went back to the work refrigerator to grab my carrot/celery/dip snack and, sitting right beside my healthful snack that I actually DO enjoy, is someone's Taco Bell leftovers. It's just not right. I swear the burritos were sitting there taunting my poor carrots and celery and smirking at me as I closed the…

Love the walking, hate the neighborhood
Am I the only person who puts on her workout clothes, gets out there and feels mortified? I live in a small town but a big neighborhood and at least 20 cars every 5 minutes pass me. Also kids running around, mean children, lol. I feel like they stare at me and it freaks me out. I love the walking but I wish I was alone and…

Setbacks and mindset
I have decided to try to change my thinking along with my eating habits to make myself healthy. I am no long saying I'm on a diet. Becasue I am not! I am learning to make the best healthy choice for me on a daily basis. If I make a bad choice, I just remember the next piece of food that enters my mouth should be healthier.…
