Last night, when I was putting lotion on my legs, I noticed that they were all soft and flabby. And they looked bigger than usual.
I’ve been wearing boxy dresses a lot lately. I told myself that it was because it was chic, but it is also really comfortable to not have something dig into your waistline.
I don’t pose for pictures anymore, and I haven’t worn a pair of jeans in months.
I eat multi-course dinners, and sit around “resting” and watching tv afterwards.
Yup, I am suffering from the Nesting 15. Now, what can I do about it?

I made a fantastic discovery - all by accident!
Robek’s Juice Bar!
Hello, my name is Anna and I’m a caffeine addict:
I used to rely on the morning joe, afternoon java & sometimes even evening cup-0f…
I’d get an immediate high and burst of feel-good energy, but a bummer of a crash soon after. And I’d wake up feeling run over by a truck, until I started the cycle all over again.
One day recently, in search of a Starbucks or Coffee Bean, I went into a Robek’s to tide me over. I got a “Robek’s Rejuvenator” with a “Powerbek boost” for extra energy…it woke me up more than coffee, espresso, chai, Red Bull ever did. And…it lasted longer…
And there was no crash!
They taste great too, like an ice smoothie. This is no green/orange veggie juice that you have to hold your nose to get down. It’s yummie.
One con - they’re expensive. A large (very tall) cup is almost $5…but I only have 1 a day, instead of 3 cups of coffee, so I guess it works out evenly.
And it’s so much healthier. I’m smilin a lot more! 
I don’t know if they have Robek’s all over the country (it’s a chain here in LA), but I know they have similar places like Jamba Juice, and other juice bars/stores in other parts of the country.
