Autumn/Winter Soup Recipes
The one thing that I love about entering into the colder months is that my love for a nice bowl of steaming hot soup can be revisited!

Time of the Month Question....
I notice that a lot of people, when they are on their TOM, they say they put on weight. I was wondering whether this is because they tend to eat more when they are on their period, or is it something that just happens, whether you eat more or not? :)

Measurements...
Today I measured myself my the first time, and I was shocked with the numbers that I saw. But I don't know whether I should be shocked or not, because I am not too sure what is normal :/ My neck was 14 inches. My waist was 39 inches. My hips were 43 inches. These seem like fairly big numbers too me :(
