Eating clean will make you be more alert, have more energy, sleep better, wake better, be more healthy overall, have better skin, better digestion, and basically make you LOOK and FEEL AMAZING.

You look beautiful and HAPPY... Congrats!

I am so sorry. The best thing you can do for yourself is put some distance and separation in your relationship with her. I had to do this myself several years ago and my Mom and I have a much better relationship now. Good luck!

I don't think it costs more to eat healthy unless you are buying organic. Sometimes organic is more expensive. Where are you shopping? You can get fresh veggies and fruits for dirt cheap. Look around town, you will be amazed! It is more expensive to shop at Whole Paycheck (Whole Foods), but there are plenty of…

Nice! Congrats! You look awesome!
