IBS flare ups: weight gains
I went from a continuous 115lbs to a 120 in a couple days. Didn't increase calories. Just may not be eating healthy calories. I went to bed feeling super full and crampy, and haven't gotten normal since. I have IBS unfortunately. I can go months and months with no problem and BAM here comes hell. My abdominal area is…

I'm the only one that eats in public.

I go to lunch and dinner with the same group of girls everyday. They usually order the same thing that I do, but they eat just a few bites and throw the rest away. By a…

Eating protein bars when not working out

But my main concern is how the amount of protein I'm consuming from them affects my body when I'm not working out whatsoever…

Pig in a blanket! It's for dinner. :)
Excited to make these tonight. I'm sure a lot of people already know the recipe, but I'll post what I use anyways. So, you need Pillsbury crescent rolls. Either hot dogs or mini smokies for the inside, and you can add cheese too. Wrap them up, and bake for about 15 minutes on 375 F. Yummy!

Your comfort food?!
What is your favorite "comfort" food? Ever find a healthier version? Mine is definitely tuna casserole and mashed potatoes. Did I find a healthier version? For me, I felt like there was no need to fix anything that wasn't broken. I still enjoy my comfort food.

I see a box of granola bars or some other little snack and think "it won't hurt to have just one, though." Like three of them later, plus…
