irene-j0y: I remember my trip two years ago, to San Francisco. I took a cab to this bridge while my sister was on a conference call. I stood there for about two hours, looking down, people watching, and wondering how far down the water was. A girl sat next to me, and asked me, “You’re not going to jump„ are you?” I smiled and reassured her I wasn’t. That I was just a tourist.  She then said, “You look a lot like my sister. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable. But I had to ask, can I hug you? You just look so much like her.” I felt awkward at first, but then I realized. “She jumped?” This girl’s face just crumpled, and she started crying. I hugged her, without a second thought, and for some reason I apologized. Not sure what else I could say. She goes, “Those were the last words she ever spoke to me.” And I will never forget this girl, her name was Ariana.

muffintop-less: My Restaurant Fit-Eating Tips! Don’t go starving - You’re less likely to choose something full of unhealthy fats and simple carbs if you aren’t ravenous. Have a greek yogurt or something small an hour or two before you go out! Split something - If you’re with a friend or significant other, suggest splitting a dish to cut down on the calories! Save for later - Have the waitress pack up half of your food to go so you get two or three meals out of it! Restaurants are notorious for giving excessive portions, so split it up! Pass on the adders - Condiments like creamy salad dressing, ketchup and mayo can add hundreds of calories to a potentially low calorie meal. Skip them! Make simple swaps - Ask for a fruit bowl or salad instead of fries.. have water instead of soda.. you get the idea! ;) Skip the frills - Avoid the bread basket and dessert and you’ll save yourself a significant amount of calories, simple carbs, unhealthy fats and sugar!
