Traveling Making You Fat? Innovative Food App Helps to Keep the Bulge Away
Traveling for work or vacation can negatively affect your waist when you're constantly eating out. In fact, a study conducted by Extended Stay America found that 86 percent of travelers reported gaining an average of 1.5 pounds for each week they were away from home. The numbers don’t look any better for vacationers, either. A survey by TripAdvisor found that 29 percent of Americans say they always or often gain weight while traveling.

Getting Down After Losing Pounds
In a previous volume of my weight loss journey, I spoke a little bit about the depression that can occur with losing a lot of weight quickly, especially with people who have had weight loss surgery. In that article, I said I would go into more detail, and that is because I feel depression is a much more serious thing to discuss. As someone who has dealt with severe depression for a good portion of their lives, I felt it important to go into my feelings on why depression can occur after weight loss surgery. I am not saying that this will happen to everyone. There are certainly a lot of people who get happier and happier as time goes on, but this is certainly something that can happen which is why I wanted to write about it.

Imitating the Sea of Sound
Ever since I was a kid myself, I have loved to imitate. I consistently got good laughs from imitating sounds, imitating singers, imitating friends. I loved the challenge of exactly matching a sound, whether it was a bird, vacuum cleaner, or person. I worked diligently to match sounds, which I came to see involved a good deal of listening, of patience, and concentration. Imitating is an all-around, comprehensive metaphysical exercise in the use of sound. It is also a blast to do with children.

I Just Can't, Today.
I don’t care who you are or where you’re from or what you do for a living or how many friends you have…we all have these days. They are real and we all have them. If you want to pretend like you don’t, then that’s fine, but I definitely don’t believe you. These are “the bad days.” Or, at least, that’s what I call mine. If my fiancé asks me what’s wrong and I respond with “just a bad day,” he knows exactly what I mean and exactly how I’m feeling.

Believe In Yourself
You wake up in the morning and think about what you look like. You walk to the mirror and stare at yourself. You scrutinise every feature that you can see. You look at your bright eyes surrounded by eyelashes of different lengths. You look at your brows whether they’re thick or thin. You look at yourself and what do you think? Think beauty. Think special. Think beautiful. Think handsome. Think intelligent. Think positive thoughts. You wake up in the morning and believe that you are who you are. Nobody can force you to change yourself. You don’t need to change for anyone because guess what? You are perfect. We’ve been taught for a long time that no one is perfect but if you think you’re perfect, who even has the right to tell you otherwise? No one.

A Child’s Voice Found Through Intuitive Science
No one really knew what to do for Gracie. The doctors didn’t know what was causing it, so they didn’t know how to treat it. Allergies? At eighteen months old, Gracie couldn’t tell anyone what was going on in her body. She couldn’t explain why her nose ran constantly since she was just a few weeks old. She couldn’t explain why her eyes moved independently of each other, and why the earaches kept coming. Did she need more antibiotics? Special glasses? Tubes in her ears? Different medications?

Tired of Narcolepsy
It first happened sometime during the summer of 2010, during the last lesson of the day. I had my eyes down as I was reading Macbeth in English; the teacher was reading out loud to us all. After a while, my eyes felt heavy, I couldn’t keep them open. The words on the page became suddenly jumbled up. Eventually, the feeling passed and thought nothing of it. I just assumed I was sleepy from being in school all day.
