Does anyone else have this problem?…

10K Tuesdays
Hey Guys! I try to always be at the gym doing something while I watch the biggest loser, because it makes me work out a lot harder, and then I don't feel guilty for sitting on the couch watching the biggest loser, while eating ice cream and feeling like a fatty. A couple of friends are going to be coming to the gym with me…

Calorie Free Winter Festivities
So... one of my main problem is that it seems that everyone wants to have social get togethers that revolve around food... which leaves me not only eating more than I want, but taking in way worse foods for me and eating late, or or unnecessary snacks... ie a 400 calorie trip to Starbucks to be polite and see a friend.
