something happened this afternoon and I just felt myself spiral out of control. it started with not knowing what to get tonight at the olive garden and turned in to me raiding the kitchen at work for sweets... you will be happy to know that threw ALL the danishes away so I would not eat them. then i came back out to the…

no meat does not mean no eggs or dairy...that would be "vegan monday" .. I don't think it has to be all veggies. just no meat...that's all it says! I'm having oatmeal with blueberries, almond milk and pecans for breakfast. lunch will likely be a stir fry with tofu and i was thinking eggs with lots of veggies and a piece of…

OMG...this used to be me. I would get it just WALKING to school when I was a kid and i would be in tears I was itching soo badly. Wasn't til about 5 years ago a dr told me to try claritin.
