Insane food allergies - help!
So, I'm not brand new here, but given some recent developments in my personal health, I feel like I might as well be.

Back to the grind
Hello all you m-f-pers! I was a member here under a different name during my years in college. I had gotten down to my goal weight, was feeling great, and ready to take on the world. Then my SO and I broke up, I graduated, moved back in with my parents, and started teaching. Whew! Now I'm much happier with my life, but…
