I am a behaviour interventionist - I work 1:1 with children 0-6 who have autism! I am also a returning student, as in September I am starting my 12 month practicum to become a teacher.... 9 of these weeks will be spent teaching in Mexico!!!!

Seeeeeeee..... mixed opinions here!!!

I have the same experience as plantedinpots. I used to get chronic migraines, so bad that I would miss school because of them. I went on a medication that I took 2 times daily which controlled them. I went off the medication 2 weeks ago and have not got 1 headache. I tried doing this in the past when I was vegetarian and…

Tofurky, mushroom gravy, veggies veggies veggies (Brussels sprouts, turnips, beans) sweet potatoes (sweet potato mash) You can make anything vegan, really! My boyfriends mom made me veggie cabbage rolls this thanksgiving, which was a nice treat! (Canadian thanksgiving was in October)

Thank you to everyone for your responses! In my past experiences, I have asked about bread/bagels containing dairy and have got "I don't know" as a response. So unless it is a restauraunt that caters to vegetarians/vegans I try to avoid this. Oatmeal is a good one. It usually does come with milk, but asking for without…

OMG this sounds uhhhhh.... Amazing!

This is like.... A thing apparently?! Never met someone who actually eats it but have heard its good

The brownies with hot sauce is totally something I feel like I would like.... Jeeze you guys are giving me ideas hahahah

I'm a university student and am often up til past 3am studying. The boredom and being up Kate's gets me craving snacks. I always go for fruit or veggies !

3:56 am just woke up and can't get back to sleep, selfie!

Totally. I don't like being so negative, but I have been on both ends of the spectrum and it truly feels worse receiving these comments as a newly skinny person. The most recent comment I got was from my aunt (who has recently gained anywhere from 20-40 lbs) and she said to be "oh you are sooooo skinny! Are you even…

I have the same issue. My boyfriend lives off of meat, potatoes, baked goods, etc. He also loves to bake so it is often (last night, for example) that I will come home from a long day of school and he will have warm peanut butter cookies (my favvvvv) warm and waiting for me. The only advice I can give (because I do have my…

I'm a vegetarian so tuna is not part of my diet but is something I used to really love. And honestly....... This sounds like it would taste good. God things are getting weird

This doesn't really answer your question, but brought on a similar issue I'm struggling with. I've lost 90 pounds over the past few years. Back when I was fat I was always told I should work out, eat more salads, etc but was never directly called fat. When I started losing weight, people started noticing, and I started to…

Two things that make me cringe, in 1 drink...... I vote yes

Here's a pic! Lol

The skinny fat thing is EXACTLY how I would describe myself. No offense taken. Thank you for the suggestions. I guess I am just in the mind set that weight loss and cutting calories is my only option, but with typically only eating around 1000 calories a day, I'm going to have to try to incorporate some type of toning…

Thank you! I definitely notice the change in my face and neck!

This is exactly 1 year difference.... Last Halloween to this halloween! Not a total before and after from where I started but nice to see where 1 year has taken me :)

Hi! I don't label myself vegan but I do try to eat as vegan as possible! I've been vegetation for about 9 years. In 2013 went vegan for 1 year but then went back to eating dairy and then developed lactose intolerance.... So I'm basically vegan now.

Hey! I've never had a baby but my tummy has always been full of stretch marks because of rapid weight gain in the past. I've recently lost 80+ pounds and I don't even notice my stretch marks anymore! I think a combination of a healthy diet and losing weight is what caused them to fade. There IS hope, but like others have…

I just tried out a soy americano misto with 1 pump sugar free vanilla..... cheaper than a vanilla latte and way more tasty! Plus less cals?

I have been a vegetarian for about 10 years but in the past 1.5 years I have cut out dairy and have lost roughly 70 pounds. Protein can come from sooooo many other sources - veggies, almond/nut milks, quinoa, tofu, beans and lentils. Dairy used to make me very bloated, and it just was not working for me in my diet. It is…
