Proats question
My go-to breakfast is oatmeal. I pre-portion it dry with all my mix-ins (sunbutter, chocolate, etc.) and take it to work every morning.

"Here we go. Low fat, whole wheat green tea"
I got that as a fortune cookie the last day before I decided to start counting again. (Which was Monday...) I saw it as a satircal statement on diet trends. It made me think of all the things I had done to my body over the years. Back in middle school, when I was a chubby, insecure child, I tried to trick myself into…

New Life
I'm on MFP for the second time. The first time I was very involved in the community, but ended up slacking on the health part. A very stressful part of my life is ending soon, and I will be officially starting over on October 1st when I move into my new apartment! I'd love to be active in the community again, so hit me up!
