Why is it that the second I start eating healthy, every single food commercial suddenly features my favorite junk food? Like, I didn’t need a pizza commercial to remind me how much I love drowning in cheese and regret. It’s like the universe is just waiting to sabotage my salad. And don’t even get me started on how my mom thinks I’m on a 'diet' because I bought quinoa. Lady, I'm just trying to tri...
