So last night we got Taco Bell for dinner. I had a coupon for 2 beefy burritos. I added cottage cheese to mine and it was absolutely incredible. I didn’t eat the tortillas to cut out calories. I...

Even if I wasn’t.. no one would know. Everyone depends on me to be there for them. It’s not like I can go to them and tell them I’m having problems. I know I’ve tried. It’s ignored and I’m...
