Never been to Buffalo Wild Wings, but sometimes a girl needs a Five Guys bacon cheeseburger and fries all to herself. (not that I always eat like that, but part of why I'm here is portion control and to eat healthiER most of the time so that I don't feel guilty about eating giant piles fried calamari (another wonderous…

Prior to my s/o, I had a very definite physical type, and he's never fit it.
