How low do you go?
So I've been trying the low-carb thing and even though I've nixed fruit, all grains, etc etc, I still can't keep my carbs below 50? Do I really just have to eat plates of meat and eggs? How low can I make it where I'll still be cutting calories/staying full? This is hard for me. I don't really like fruit that much, but I…

Gained 1 lb. Boyfriend lost 10 damn pounds. Today has been awful already without adding that on. I just feel like crying.

Child nutrition in 2018
Is it just me or is teaching children moderation becoming increasingly hard? I definitely don't withhold popsicles or the occasional snack cake from my children, but it seems like there's no outer support. Every time a family member is around there's constant offerings of candy and soda and cake and cookies. My parents are…
