This! I don't get it either.

My latest one is Rabiosa, by Shakira & Pitbull. It has a something-something that brings out the moves in me :O LOL

I think taking children away from their parents would hurt more than help because there are no guarantees that the child will be happier/healthier/better being one more of thousands in the system, away from all they know and everyone who loves them. Besides, taking the children away is the 'band-aid' solution to a much…

I know you said this happens to you when you eat raw vegetables, but have you considered that the culprit may actually be the ranch dressing? Dressings tend to be very high in fat, sodium and sugar.

Some of the best and healthiest sources of protein include: Black beans, lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, veggie burgers, pinto beans, tofu and quinoa.

Holy *kitten*, this is awesome! You're amazing, you must be so proud. Big hugs to you!!!

Too much sodium, packed in a can (chemicals leach into the drink), plus the shady ingredients and preservatives.... not worth it in my opinion. If juice is the best way for you to get your share of vegetables you're better off getting a juicer and making them yourself (it doesn't have to cost a fortune either. Look in…

Wow, so many helpful answers! Thank you so much everyone. I just got back from the store and got some dark chocolate to calm the demons while I research more on the other options you all mentioned. Thanks soooooooo much!!

I think the real question is, is there such a thing as a too-large glass of wine? ;D

Public diary, I has it :D

Oooh I love the idea of making cottage cheese dressing!

Thank you everyone for responding! I'm very happy and humbled that you're allowing me into your [virtual, fitness] lives. Let's rock this! :)
