I'm not a political person. When I start to get into it it just upsets me. I feel so powerless when it comes to politics. So I've just decided to be non-political and very very pro-soldier.
If you continually diet you are putting your body in a quasi-famine situation. It slows your metabolism down and breaks the thermostat. Diets don't work. They don't help you understand why you're eating more than your body wanted in the first place.
