Job making it feel impossible to lose weight
So I'm a recent DVM and I'm thrilled to actually be out doing something I love. In school I stress ate and told myself that when I didn't have clinicians, residents and interns pushing everything downhill and blaming you when their day went poorly I could focus on losing weight. However I'm struggling and feel like this…

Lost 9lbs in 3 weeks during school break... Now to keep it off and keep going
I got to travel home for my 3 week break this August. It was the first time I had been home for any part of summer since 2013 and while I was home I lost 9lbs over the 3 weeks.

Tackling sugar cravings while living with roommate
So while I was home on Christmas break from vet school I didn't really have any sugar cravings. However; there really was no sugar in the house (minus a Christmas party where my mom bought Whoppers, but I can't stand them so it didn't bother me). Now I'm back at school and it seems like every single day I'm getting intense…

Giving this a go
Hello everyone, This is a completely new avenue to me but I'm going to give it a shot and I figured I'd start off right by typing up an intro so I don't sign up for this site and then promptly forget about it. A little bit about myself, I'm 23 and am currently in veterinary school which is making becoming healthy feel…
