question-
when people gain weight from psychological issues, what is the process that happens there? does CICO still apply? like, if you suffer from depression or any other mental illness, is there another process going on in your body that could cause weight gain besides an excess of calories? in the middle of a debate here lol

800 calorie diet..
..is NOT what I'm eating!! haha okay so now that I have your attention, I have a quick question. I get home from work at 11 so I usually eat 'dinner' pretty late at night. if I overeat, could I log it into the next day? that way I'd still keep my weekly number in a good spot? now i'm only talking about 200 or so calories…

I just broke up with my fiancé. We were together for a little over 2 and half years. He was my first real relationship, my first love. I have never really dealt with this kind of pain before and it has just been the cherry on top of my stress sundae. And that leads to literal sundaes. I haven't been able to sleep since he…

some quest bars and tell me its not heaven. I like to cut a bar into three little cookies, spray a pan, pop em in at 375 for about 5-6 minutes. the cookie dough ones taste better than real cookies to me at least, my other favorites are the double chocolate chunk and brownie. its the best!

My fitness journey so far (pics people :p)
Before i made the decision to change my life around, I was depressed. Never wanted to get up or do ANYTHING. Loved ones around me would always try to help, and one thing they'd suggest would be exercise. I always turned them down, saying 'I hate exercise. How will doing something I hate make me happy?" I spent years trying…

from coffee to tea
I have ALWAYS been a huge coffee drinker. I literally run on dunkin. when I first started my fitness journey, I tried to switch to skim and splenda instead of cream and sugar. it is good, but definitely not as fulfilling as the real deal. one day I tried dunkin's unsweet peach tea- 10 calories for a large, $.99. Its hard…

excuses, excuses
At one point or another, we are all full of them. I spent the longest time filling my life with excuses; blaming depression on my failures, and shooting down any advice that came my way. "Its too hard," "I've already tried that," "I have depression." Especially that last one. Everyone always told me, "exercise will help…
