European Friends! Need low-cost/calorie food options
Hello everyone! I am a graduate student who just moved from the US to Belgium for school and I need more lunch ideas. As I am new to this country and don't speak the language (thank GOODNESS for google translate), I am struggling to figure out what to buy that stays in my now limited budget.

Meal Prepping on the Weekends
Does anyone meal prep for their weekend? I have been really great about my eating during the week when everything is already prepared but have been letting some of the wheels come off when I'm left to make the decision in the moment. So I'm contemplating prepping for 7 days instead of 5 but I'm worried about the lack of…

Do you love your job?
I recently spoke to someone who was shocked that I actually enjoy my job (I'm an epidemiologist) and it made me wonder if I'm in the minority? I went back to get my master's degree to do this and truly enjoy what I do. So I ask, do you like your job and if you do, did actively pursue this job or did you just fall into it?

Are you obsessed with a certain food now?
Ever since I started eating healthy, I can't get enough of goat cheese. I used to put feta on all of my salads but ever since I found goat cheese, I'm obsessed. I ran out yesterday and made a trip to the store just for goat cheese. It's a little too creamy for me just by itself but on a salad..mmm So what can't you get…

Had my first NSV today!
After months of barely squeezing my booty into a size 16 pair of stretch jeans, I was feeling pretty good about myself and was trying on my old jeans (think much skinnier) and actually got a pair of 13/14 to zip. They aren't ready to wear yet because my muffin top still spills over but they zip and they aren't even stretch…

Question for people who have plantar fascitits
I've had Plantar fascititis and have for about 2 years. I've finally got it under control (through better shoes and exercise) and am just now walking daily without excruciating pain. I tried running at the gym today and felt every step in my bad arch. Should I stop running till I lose more weight (i'm 5'7 and about 200lbs)…

I will probably have a healthy snack later…

Food Cravings during 'That' Week
This past week, I have been on a daily fight not to eat all of the M&Ms, ice cream, chocolate, etc that I could. I know that once I start I will be back to normal, but I'm struggling. Anybody have any ideas to power through these crazy cravings??
