I find that whenever I eat lots of fruit and vegetables; only fruit and vegetables with a bit of dairy in a day, I tend to eat more calories than if I were to eat slightly less healthily.

Lately I've been pretty restrictive with my diet, eating just mainly vegetables and fruits and one serving of dairy for breakfast.

18 and never had a boyfriend or dated in my life?
I'm 18 this year and I've never dated in my life. I think the main reason is that my parents sent me to all girls schools which I stayed in when i was 7 until I was 17 and I didn't speak to any guy during that period of time because I was really focused on my studies and such. Even now as I'm in a co-ed school, most of my…

Afraid of eating in front of people. Am I the only one?
I find that I'm afraid of eating in front of people, because I'm afraid of them judging me for what I ate. For example, if I ate a salad they would say all those annoying things like "lol are you trying to lose weight?" and all that, and I am afraid to eat desserts in front of people because I'm afraid that they might say,…
