Week 1: The Detox. Please Send Cookies.

Last Friday, I shared with you my first post in this journey to become a healthier version of myself. Want to know how I feel? LIKE CRAP. But it's a means that will justify the end.

My junior year I was a slim 125 lbs and a size six. When I graduated, I was a size 13. During...
